I went out to collect eggs this morning and found one of my chickens dead in my coop. She was fine yesterday (isn't that mostly the case) and her body seemed very freshly dead, like I had to check for a heart beat. She was a wellsummer and was maybe 4 years old, still laying. She was always a...
This is Snowball a special breed of roo who had some problems as a chick. All seemed well until yesterday he was moving a little slow-today he was found laying in the run, alive, but very out of it. Obviously the other chickens beat him up a bit. He feels a little skinny. His large pupil does...
This morning I found one of my turks outside my fence, headless. It didn't look like it had any other injuries to it. There was a small pile of feathers about 10 feet away. I found like 2 drops of blood on the grass right near the body.
One of my other turkies was somewhere weird too, so I had...
Hello all!
I have a weird situation here. We had a terrible hailstorm thr other day and my neighbors went outside after the storm and discovered a gosling. It just ran up to them-so naturally they brought it to me thinking it was mine. I think they had it for 2 days.
Here is the issue. It has a...

Everyone was fine yesterday, today I find one sleeping while everyone else is up and peeping.
So I pick her up and she won't even hold her head up. Will peep and open her eyes a little when I upset her. Droopy wingswont stand. Will drink the water i put in her beak. I just got all of them from...
I was curious if anyone knew what was going on here. 2 day old chick (from the worst hatch I've ever had and first time doing shipped eggs) has a squishy abdomen that is turning black under the skin. I couldn't find anything that matched when trying to search the internet-the closest was maybe...

I have a little one that hatched bad. Grew in the shell not so right, I've been feeding it by hand ever 1-2 hours just what mash/water I xan get it to take off a spoon.
Any idea how much or how often I should be doing this?
Okay-so I know this is a stretch. I have been handfeeding this poor little quail all day. It hatched yesterday and I didn't do much the first 24 hours because I was sure it wasn't going to last that long. It definitely was growing the wrong way in the egg along with maybe some other issues. 8...
Alright, Bernie who I think is an ISA brown, about 2 years old is acting very strange. She is much slower than normal, I can actually catch her. She seems to be kind of staring off a lot of the time. She is isolating and won't roost, she hides on the floor. She is drinking a lot of water but I...
So I found my new rooster laying on the ground today when closing up the coops. About 3 days ago I wondered if he was limping but I had decided no at that time. Anyway, he is just shy of 12 weeks old and bow he can't stand or anything. I am soooooo hoping it is not mareks, I am now up to near 60...
I am worried about one of my hens, she is approximately a year old and a salmon faverolle. Today when I went in to inspect the coup it was dark out and I noticed the light reflect off of one of her eyes. Her entire pupil is white, a perfect circle but only in the light. Without it directly...
