    Sick Peach Golden?

    My male peach golden pheasant is 2 years old. Always been healthy, he’s recently started throwing his head backwards and his feathers are ruffled and keeps eyes closed. I originally thought gape worm, but I’m not sure that’s it. He’s been given dewormer. It’s like his crop is full? What should I...

    Lethargic chicken

    Noticed this chicken this morning shutting its eyes and just standing around. It ate a little and socialized a little but clearly not normal. No wheezing, eye or nasal discharge. Just quarantined it and gave it a scrambled egg which it ate with vigor and some feed and sunflower seeds which it...

    Black chicken poo?

    Hey guys! It’s been a while since I’ve been on— Life’s been crazy with college prep and I haven’t been able to be on too much. Anyways, it got very cold very fast— and last night, I had to pull them in for the night. I let them out for a little this morning (it was still very cold so I didn’t...

    Help! Turkey is ill!

    My Turkey chick (nearly 2 months old) has diarrhea and is looking very dopey (not wanting to move around with the flock), as well as keeping its head very close to its body. It has no spots/sores on it, and is not stargazing. I have separated it from the rest of my turkeys and am keeping it in a...

    Horrific Bird Flu Experience Killed My Whole Flock and my Cat

    I'm a hobby farmer from British Columbia, although admittedly my parents do most of the work cause I'm a bit of a germaphobe. I live with my Mom and Dad and a back yard full of fowls near the forest, geese, ducks, muscovies, and many chickens, all free range. I was out for a month to do house...

    How good is good enough to put my chicken with heatstroke somewhat outside?

    I had a chicken with heatstroke a few days ago and she’s been residing in my room so I can keep a close eye on her. I also don’t have a dog crate to put her in… I pick up any droppings and disinfect the area daily, have an air purifier, and keep it well ventilated. Though, I will be away for...

    Chicken ICU?

    Had a poor girl pass out from the heat though the rest of her flock handled it very well. I immediately brought her inside after submerged her body in cold water for a few minutes. Got her comfortable freezing water and frozen fruit, two mini fans set up, and cold compresses around her. She...

    Is my hen sick or injured?

    I have a hen that is exhibiting some odd behavior. She used to be one of my most active and busy hens, but now, all she does is lay around. When she gets up, she kind of stumbles a bit and her wings go out— when she walks, she’s a little slow and almost waddles kind of wide-legged. Any ideas...

    Quail breathing through his mouth (sick?)

    Hello! Looking out for my buddy of almost three years, our Coturnix quail has been breathing through his mouth all day. I don't think I've seen this before, but maybe I haven't looked closely enough? He has always been extremely calm little sleepy boy, so I don't think it's super weird, but he...

    I recently purchased 5 ISA Browns from a nearby farm intending to integrate them into my existing flock of 18 birds, but after handling them, I’ve noticed a respiratory issue. One of the five hens has a crackling sound when breathing (rales?) and occasional mucus from her beak but otherwise...

    Can't figure out what's happening

    Looking for any ideas on what might be going on. We brought 4 new pullets into our flock. 2 cream legbar and 2 EE's. The EE's are older by a few weeks. I have now lost both legbar. Both seemed to have the same symptoms. Also a few from my older flock seem a bit off. There was red in the pullets...

    Quick question!

    Hello all, I recently got a chicken that is very active and eats a lot but I saw that she has pooped brown runny poop sometimes and just now she pooped about 3-inch white worms, I'm putting diatomaceous earth in her food. Would this be good enough or should I do more?
