They are going to do a necropsy and send a sample off to a different lab if they can’t find anything. I don’t know how old my rooster was cause we got him and most of our other birds from an abusive neighbor the duck was maybe 2-4 years old tho. We do our best to keep all food and water clean so...

I don’t know if anyone has any advice for me here. A while back I had posted about my rooster passing away randomly after no longer being able to move his legs. Well today one of my ducks passed after similar events. I had taken her to the vet a little less than a week ago cause her legs stopped...

So not too long ago I posted about my rooster and hen having yellow spots and I got amazing help finding out it was fowl pox. I’ve done everything I can to treat my entire flock and both birds have now almost fully recovered thankfully! ( Titus my rooster still has a couple white spots from...

got it. i did try to open a few the other day thinking it was infected peck wounds and put antibiotic ointment all over my birds. ill keep a very close eye on them all. the two that are infected are in quarantine now but i am gonna treat the whole flock incase since the mosquitoes in my area are...

Got it. I have all my birds on poultry cell and I can get ahold of the save a chic probiotic and electrolyte

Yeah I’m doing my best to treat them now. I just had my other rooster pass away a few months ago from unknown illness and I am nearly in tears praying they will all survive and be ok from this.

Ok thank you so much. Is it possible for him to survive this?? We are doing what we can to get rid of mosquitoes (I like in the swamp area) I also have ducks so I’m gonna try to flock treat everyone I can.

How do I treat them??

So my rooster and hen (both same age from same clutch) recently got a bunch of yellow spots all over their crown. I don’t know if it’s infected peck wounds or if it might be something serious cause this is the first time I’ve seen it. I have one other hen with them and she has had zero spots...

Thank you for the advice. Unfortunately a necropsy wasn’t an option (as my family didn’t want to send him away and decided to bury him in a secluded part of our yard) but I will call my vet first thing in the morning to see about the blood test

Hello everyone So my last post was about my rooster ruru, unfortunately a few days after I made that post he passed away (we assume in his sleep as he went to sleep like normal and then never woke up) I have been watching all of my birds very closely as we still don’t know what caused his...

The meds were 1mg meloxicam for 3 days. I tried calling the vet back and I just keep getting “user busy” so im still trying to tell them. Today his other leg started doing the same. He can still move his toes but he can’t stand on his own anymore. We don’t know how old he is but I can only guess...

So my bantam rooster has recently gotten injured. Bit backstory, about a week ago I went to pick up my chickens, noticed he was limping and thought he had either stepped on a rock or maybe got his foot caught and hurt it so I brought him inside and tried letting him rest it off, he wasn’t...

Just to give a little update the peppermint helped so much last night!! Thank you so much. My mom got out a couple of her diffusers and put one on each side of the room with some peppermint and Gwen didn’t gasp for air last night. It’s giving me so much more hope

Got it. I’ll definitely try that tonight and see how it goes. I did a little mist over her about 10 minutes ago while she took a nap on my chest and she seems to be doing a bit better now. I hope it at least helps her feel more comfortable.
