Hello! I had a 5 year old rooster die, then another has developed bloody diarrhea. After getting help from another post, I had a sample tested to rule out worms and coccidiosis. The only other conclusion that we came up with (since this is only affected roo’s) is that it must be the feed. I...

Hello! Thanks in advance for your help. One of my roosters died this morning and another is sick. After further examination, I noticed that they have blackish/white non odor pasty butt. Their poo is literally hard and stuck to their vent. NONE of the hens are sick and they do not have any...

Hello! My duck has a broken tibia, and fibula! She needs to convalesce for at least 6 weeks. Would swimming hurt or help heal her? Thanks in advance.

Hello! I am not sure that this is related, but my rooster had mites all over, including his face. None of my other chickens have them. He was given two normal doses of ivermectin, and no longer has the mites, but he is still walking like he is in a stupor. i thought that once the mites were...

Hello! I have an 8 year old silkie that has developed wry neck. I started him on vitamin E and selenium this morning, and tonight he has developed diarrhea. I am putting his meds in cooked oatmeal. I also started him on probiotics and electrolytes tonight. Anyone have any idea what has...

Hello, I am looking for some call duck or magpie hatching eggs. I only want about 6-8. They are for my granddaughter to hatch, and eventually release on a lake. I have read that these two breeds are great for what we are looking to do, and both can fly. If anyone can think of any other ducks...

My hen had a small lump on her eye a few weeks ago. Put beta dine on it and non pian neosporin on it. It looks like this now. Just that quick it has turned in to this. Can chickens get cancer? Any idea what this is, and if there is a solution to fix it? Has a great appetite and not...

I have a serama that hatched one egg. I brought her and the chick inside. The chick hatched last night, and she hasn’t moved from where I sat her down. She is eating and drinking, because I have food and water right in front of her. Her chick is mostly underneath her, but comes out to eat and...

Roo fine this morning. Tonight, comb purple and kind of cool and he’s standing quiet with eyes shut. Normal breathing, no wheezing, coughing, or sneezing. He’s about 2 years old. Not wanting to eat or drink. Felt crop and felt hard. I gave him syringed water, turned him upside down and...

I have posted several times in re: to this hatch of poults. After the last one died, I thought the rest were going to be ok. I now have four left, and one is keeping its eyes closed, panting and wanting to eat, but getting weak. It doesn’t want to drink. It scratches at its face, and jerks...

I have a poult that was in the egg too long. Today is day three, and it is still alive, barely. It is wheezing like crazy. I’m sure due to being in the egg, and incubator so long, it I ngested, inhaled some fluids in to its lungs. Anyone have any thoughts as to how to dry it out? It shakes...

Good Morning! The last poult which I had to help out, is moving, and seems to be ok other than it sounds like it has a cold. (For lack of a better word). It shakes it head and wheezes. It was stuck in the egg for a pretty long time, but couldn’t be hatched because blood was present. By the...

My rooster started to walk with a limp. As you can see, the right bone is way off. Any idea what could have happened to him?

Hello, I need an extension for my two coops. After extensive reading on here, and not being very handy, I've decided to get a 5x5x15 foot chain link run. I can divide it in half, to make two runs, and cover the bottom with hard cloth, and the top half with tarps. My problem is the roof, and...

My Sebastopol goose has a protruding fleshy area on the underside of her foot. There is not any sign of a "bumble", and not black skin or scab. She is eating, and acts normal, except she lays down every chance she gets, and prefers not to walk. Can you think of anything other than bumblefoot...

Hello, I have an elderly goose that has something on her foot. I will try to post pictures of it tomorrow if I can catch her again. I have seen my share of bumblefoot, and this does not look like it. She is limping and lays down whenever possible, but can manage to run when necessary. What...

I am out of town, and the person taking care of my Geess called and said that one of my Geess was lying on its side. She said when she called them to come in, this one would not get opposite side, and that it had its beak talked like it was sleeping. She coaxed it to the side of the pond, and...

[/IMG][/IMG] Haven't a clue as to how this happened. He gets dirt, pebbles and all kinds of stuff in this. I try to keep it clean, but he acts like it hurts him when I clean it. Thoughts?

Has anyone used this for their older laying hens? Just read that this may be necessary due to older hens not able to absorb regular oyster shell. If you are using it, what are your directions for use, and where have you bought it? Thanks
