i had eight 3-day-old baby guineas and i check them nearly every hour, sometimes more than that, and theyve very suddenly gotten sick. One has already passed very quickly. they all have very swollen poopy butts, and when i go to wipe them very gently, it seems to let out a waterfall of poop! so...
we came home to our 5-6 week old chicks, one is acting normally but upon inspection had this weird scab on her back where her feathers haven’t yet grown in. i picked her up and noticed that her cloaca also had bright red blood. do i need to run and get corid or is she being pecked? how do i treat?
I came back home from a two week trip to find my rooster un able to move. After checking him I found a golf ball sized lump on his back with a gash through it and he seems to not be able to move one of his legs. He doesn't seem to be in any pain and will let me touch his legs without screaming...

My male coturnix quail seems to be unwell. He isn't his normal self. Has a sad face on too. He has slight redness under his eye/above nose. He keeps itching that red area and his body too. Cries sometimes as well. Has lost a slight bit of weight but not significant . Eyes seems to be swollen. He...
I am in a little of a pickle… My hen has gone broody and has been laying on eggs for 17 days now. There are 3 eggs that are on day 17 expected to hatch on January 13th (21 days). There are also 3+ eggs that are developing but probably on day 7-10.
This happened because my other hen has been...

This duck is about six months old and he was injured when I got him him resulting in the leg that goes up. But the other side, I believe he was stepped on, sticks up in the back more than it should. I’ll add a video, and listen to it with sound on because I am talking about what I see with him...
This duckling hatched last night she didn’t seem to have any trouble getting out of the egg, but when I went to take a closer look her, I was all messed up and not opening on the right side. The left one is fine. Her bill is crooked and seems to be turned to the right and then her right leg is...

Hey! So I was just completing my first health check in a while on my flock and I found what appears to be an old open wound (most likely caused by my roo) on the side of one of my hens. It seems to have been there for a while and I just feel terrible that I didn’t find it sooner! The skin around...
I was walking by my incubator when I noticed this absolutely horrible smell coming out of it, when I looked in I noticed one of the eggs was rotten and was leaking. I quickly took the egg out and cleaned where it was sitting, I also candled the other eggs and noticed one other was rotten so I...
Hello all,
I've been stressing over this egg, as I'm a new hatcher and had became concerned as I noticed more bruising has started to appear on the membrane end of the egg.
I'm growing nervous, as the duck is positioned awkwardly, and I'm unaware if he/she could be malpositioned and is...

My Turkey hen was degloved by a predator last night, and from under her wing to her chest her skin was pulled off and down. It was hanging in a large flap of feathers and skin, we pinned it back together after cleaning it out and wrapped her in bandages, but she won’t leave the bandages alone...
Hi all,
I'm afraid we're going to lose one of our original hens. This morning, she wouldn't come out of the coop with the rest. She was laying down, legs not working, BEET red eyes (they're usually yellow/orange). We brought her inside and laid her in the bathtub. This is when we noticed that...
Good evening,
I had rescued a male Coturnix quail on Sunday afternoon; originally he only had a head/eye injury, but come Monday morning his left toe on the left leg and right toe on the right leg were swollen and bleeding through the skin. The tip of the left toe is now shriveling and black...
For most of this week, my hen has been acting a bit unusual. My girl Max is an almost 6 year-old indoor Wellsummer hen. She lives indoors due to her previous flock abusing her to the point of borderline starvation. Normally, Max is energetic, obnoxious, talkative, curious, and a decent eater. I...
