botulism

So I hope this is the appropriate area to ask for help. I wasn't quite sure. So sorry ahead of time if I posted in the wrong place. Anyways, I got some Muscovies ducklings about two months ago from a farm that I wasnt to sure about. My biggest issue with the farm was they didnt provide any of...

I am lost! How can I save my pullets? I posted a couple of weeks ago that I found one pullet very thin and wobbly . She couldn't really stand. I had already treated all with Corid since I had seen some strange pink droppings. I isolated her right away We tried to get her to eat and gave her...

I have a duck who was exhibiting botulism symptoms (started with lameness in one leg), who I took to the vet and after the vet gave me a protocol for a different malady, she ended up dying. Another one of my ducks is exhibiting the same symptoms and I do not want to take her to the vet, because...

Hello guys! I'm not an expert in raising ducks. So please help me. My parents got two ducks as pets. Recently, one of my ducks (a few months old) had a sudden attack, she started fluttering her wings and fell down. She is not able to walk and hold her head since then. We took her inside home...

We have a Lavender Orpington hen (DeeBee) that has become ill. Her comb is pale and she has lost weight and is very thin. She seems lethargic much of the time. This has been going on for about 3 weeks. A couple of times we have seen her "wobble" when walking, but it has only happened a couple...

My poor Frizzle Bantam (who is named chicken)! Recently quite broody but no longer. I noticed was starting to have a hard time walking or standing. She did lay one egg after I noticed the beginning of this behavior but has stopped laying since it has gotten really bad. Now she is more often...

Hello All. I have a Americana pullet who is coming into egg bearing age. She started showing (current) problems at least 2 weeks ago. I noticed she walked around with her wings hanging down and a change in her voice (raspy). This chicken has a history of coryza which she appeared to have...
