    Our 2 year old orpington had an incredibly sagging crop 2-3 weeks ago that would not empty. We took her to the vet and they removed a lot of material via tubes. Over 4-5 days we had her inside and managed to clear the rest. Last weekend she was reintroduced to the flock and immediately went on...

    Worried about Muscovy duck

    For context…my husband witnessed some tiny ducklings run over by a dump truck on his way home from work in late May. He stopped to check on them and found one duckling was alive and wasn’t hit. Mom was nowhere to be found. He brought it home, and my 15-year-old daughter took it in to raise as...

    Hello! I have a mottled cochin bantam (Gil) about 18 weeks old. She lives with two blue Andalusians that are the same age.

    My chicken Peperomia is around 2 years old. Today she has started acting lethargic, swaying her head and hiding. She refuses to eat or drink. I spoon fed her water in the hopes to give her some hydration. I even laid out some of her favorite foods in a shallow dish of 100% coconut water. I...

    Golden laced polish not eating.

    Hi all. I have five - 6 month old hens. One is a golden laced polish. As expected, she is the most skittish. I’m worried that she is not getting enough to eat. She is hesitant and just stops trying if another chicken is around her. She is not being bullied. Her crop is almost always nearly...
