My 3-4 week old duckling has been having these seizures a couple of timed per day and I'm so afraid she might die from it. What she does is she suddenly starts shaking her neck, falling down and throwing her neck on her back. One such seizures from today is on the video linked below. I am...
I noticed one of my hens acting off today. When I picked her up, I noticed this coming out of her. It looks like a soft shelled egg that broke/got stuck. I felt inside and it feels like there are broken egg shells. I’m currently giving her an Epsom salt bath, what else should I do for her?

I’m not sure how long she had been out there, but we found our 4 month old silkie lethargic with blood in her nostrils. She’s very cold, lethargic, and can barely hold her head up, but she’s fighting fluids by syringe. She was introduced to our flock along with another 4month silkie roo about 2...
Okay so starters this little guy had some issues hatching. I don't know what happened exactly but when it pipped externally there was blood on the membrane. A good bit of it.

My duck can’t walk. I’ve had this problem in the past with this duck, which was fixed With Niacin. But it’s not seeming to work. Unfortunately I think we’ll have to put her down, I don’t want to but I think she’s in pain. We’re gonna take her to the vet to see what they can do, but if they can’t...
Anyone know what kind of bug this is.it almost looks like a weird tick. Found about 20 or so on one of my laying hens. All the hens (6) haven't laid a single egg in about 2-3 days. They seem completely healthy. Just held one of them and found this. Any help is appreciated!!
