Hi there. Quick update #3. My silkie still has a runny nose, with minimal discharge, but the nares still require cleaning at least once daily for blockages. The sneezing however has progresses to multiple times daily. I've given her Fosbac Plus T antibiotic and she seems to be recovering...

Hi there. I think I'll do just that once it's been delivered.

Hi there. You are exceptionally lucky to have had your hen sit that long. All my time with quail I've only had one hen hatch a batch of eggs. Mine make their eggy deposits, but that's where it ends. As such, I collect eggs daily to preserve the embryos for my incubation. Otherwise they will...

Hi there. The meds are vaccines for New Caste and Gumboro. Poultry diseases.

Hi there. I'm wondering if chicken vaccine will have any negative effects on my 2 adult ducks? The chickens will be vaccinated for New Castle and Gumboro. The ducks share the yard with 10 chickens and as such have the same watering stations..

Hi. Another update. My silkies nose seems to be under control and no visible mucus inside her mouth, but now shes not eating. The odd crumb but nothing more and her crop is empty. There was some blood in her droppings earlier but it looked like shedded intestinal lining. If she has another...

Hi there. Quick update... My silkies runny nose seems to have dried up somewhat but there is still a tiny amount of clear discharge from her nares and her sinuses look clear of gel-like mucus. She sneezed thrice tonight (a first for me) but seems to be good otherwise. Paranoid that she might...

Hi all, For the past few days my silkie pullet has been having some clear mucus coming from her nares. A few times her nares have crusted over but that's from the food (crumbles) dust. HOWEVER... A few moments ago she started dripping water from her nose after eating and drinking. A closer...

They are indeed the sweetest little things! They were my very first birds and since the collection has grown, but they will be with me to the end. Perfect, thank you so much. Still need to figure out how I'm going to catch them during the day haha, they aren't keen on being handled. I've...

Hi JaeG, Thanks a mill for the response, I truly appreciate it :bow

Keeper of Quail (Japanese & Chinese), Chickens (Silkie & Hyline), Doves (Diamond & Laughing & Burmese Turtle), Ducks (Pekin & Mallard).

Hi there. The time has come to move my Chinese quail to their final housing as my new aviary building project has come to an end. BUT I'm left in a bit of a sticky situation. I need to relocate the majority of my quail into the new aviary to start a breeding covey as I don't much like keeping...

Hi there. Has anyone come across Partridge Silkie's with green earlobes? ABOT

Hi there. I spoke to the vet again, gave him a chunk of my mind and got a refund. Still can't believe he took me for a sucker or tried. Anyhow, i just took this picture of Donna the duck. I've noticed her head is turning greener by the day as well as her upper rear. Not to mention the...
