    How do I tell the difference between a prominent keen / too skinny quail?

    Any advice on how to differentiate a prominent keen from a quail who is too skinny? When I place my fingers on the chest of one of my quail I can feel their keen very clearly. I do not have to really search at all, and it is most noticeable when I hold them. How should I encourage them to eat...

    Not eating, extremely skinny, but has energy

    I have two chickens (Plymouth Rock and Polish Crested). A few weeks ago the PR became egg bound (we believe). She showed all symptoms. But after checking her out, and feeling what we figured was the egg (just a hand on the outside, didn't go "in"), she started oozing (for lack of a better...

    Sick bobwhite

    So I was feeding the birds this morning and I saw one of my bobwhites not looking herself. I picked her up (she didn't struggle, another bad sign) and she's very skinny. She's inside at the moment, I will offer her plenty of food and water. Does anyone know what I can do for her?

    Sickly geese

    I’ve had two ganders for about four years now and they’re great. But this summer they started looking off. They are super underweight and their beaks turn white. For the beaks I assumed it was calcium and added powder to their corn. Which helped but sometimes they still go white. I’ve given...

    My mallard duck is egg bound,

    And I can't seem to help her. Our mallard duck has been egg bound for about 3 days now! She has been bound before and I fixed (or so I thought) the problem. She went a month without getting bound a second time. She's been eating the same food that she's always eaten, when she can that is. She...

    Chicken extremely skinny and subtle loss in neck feathers.

    Hey, my 1 year old Wyandotte has been getting very skinny, and losing a decent amount of feathers around her neck. It snowed here, so they usually don't come out, even when the door is open. I don't think its molting, since my other chickens seem fine. She has been in the coop about a week, with...

    Adopted duck

    About a month ago one of my ducks got killed by a fox. Today I finally bought a duck from a farm. I am keeping him separated from my duck, Peggy until I get him checked out by a vet. He is sooo skinny, and scraggly and I think he has Bumblefoot. Also he is really dirty. I tried getting him in...
