Our 3 year old Bantam Mille Fleur is having prolapse issues. She didn't lay at all last year and hardly anything before that, and now all of a sudden she is trying every day. It seems she eventually lays one egg every 3 days or so, once she can get it out, but all the while her prolapse is...

My 9 week old Orpington got caught in a rat trap today :( her leg is definitely broken and her foot is purple and cold. I don't know how long she was stuck since I was at work. I am devastated as I'm sure she is also. I gave her some baby aspirin and splinted her foot/leg with a bent to shape...

Help! We got these chicks at just a few days old and now our little polish has wry neck, she isn't completely twisted yet, she is more like tilting her head to the side and walking in circles. she also looks like she's walking crooked and spazzes out when I try to touch her, and falls over. She...

I have a little Mille Fleur girl, about 1.5 year old. She recently stopped laying and eating. Now she won't walk. She has had the Marek's vaccine also. I pick her up and she just sits down. Kind of wobbly. She won't walk around for anything. She is negative for worms and no lice/mites. Her crop...

I have already posted many times about this to no avail..... Any help is greatly appreciated! I have 3 hens that are sick. I took one in to the Avian vet 1.5 weeks ago for watery diarrhea and vomit. She was losing weight and had fly strike. They cleaned her up and gave her Baytril. The vet...

I have a 1 yo hen who is having some pretty bad wet butt (feathers all around butt are wet with white residue). Every time I pick her up she squirts out a clear watery fluid. I have been watching her poop and it's also very watery, sometimes "spongy" and seafoam greenish. We lost a hen last year...

I candled my eggs last night and almost all of them seem to have at least a third solid dark inside. I tried taking pics, bu they come out non visible. I see no embryo movement, but just this big dark mass taking up 1/3 of the egg. They are on day 7. From what I have researched there should be...

I have an 8 month old Silkie that has been laying every other day. For the last few days I have found her in the nest box all day. I lifted her to see if she had an egg, and there was one, but I am not sure if it was hers. Since 3 days ago, she hasn't laid, but sits in the box all day and night...

Hello, I have a 8 month old RR who was laying an egg a day when all of a sudden she has stopped laying. Her tail looks a bit droopy and she keeps away from the rest of the flock. She usually hides under the bushes and doesn't eat a whole lot. I mean she is drinking and eating, but her poop is...

We adopted a Golden Campine hen about a month ago. She is about 1 year and 3 months old. When we got her the guy said she was very friendly and laid about an egg a day. We picked her up and she was super nice, but very mean to the other ladies. Anyway, the first day she laid a regular egg, then...

We thought this was a female Barred Cochin? She was very broody with the smaller younger chicks and seems to be very female. BUT, now she is making loud crowing noises similar to a ROO! WTH??? Is this a girl? Is this a Barred Cochin? Is she just finding her new voice? Help!!

We have a 4 week old Bantam Blue Cochin, and I think he is a boy. Please help! We can't keep roosters in our backyard, and he is a super sweet guy, but I think he is boy because his comb is getting big fast, also I think he tried to mount one of our silkie babies. Does that mean the silkie is a...

Hi, this baby is about 4.5 weeks. I am not sure what breed he is, but based on his huge feet feathers and recent attitude, I am thinking he is a roo. He chases my hand when I am cleaning the food dishes, and jumps up my arm while Im in the brooder. He is not necessarily agressive to the other...
