This isn't really an emergency, which is why I posted it here instead of the emergencies section. I have a broody who's been hatching eggs out since yesterday. Today I found a leghorn chick that hatched under her and it's staying in a really weird position and won't move out of it. With its legs...

I have a buff orpington chick who's about seven days old. And he/she has been regurgitating and then making gasping motions (beak opening, neck extended) for two days. Today I noticed a bulge under her chin. Large, and kind of hard, with a little give. Additional info: She was pounced on the...

I have a four-ish month old Rhode Island Red rooster and four days ago I started to notice he was out of sorts. He was quieter, mellower than was normal for him. He stopped eating and drinking, and he's been falling asleep standing up for the past few days. He doesn't crow anymore, though...
