    Partridge Cochin Not Feathering

    This partridge cochin is 8 weeks old and looks nothing like her siblings. I know some birds can be slow growing but this one is almost naked, her bum looks worse than her front. She isnt getting picked on. Is this ok or is there something I can do to help her? She doesnt seem to be in pain but I...

    Urgent Help- Favus on chicks body

    *Edited to add* I highly believe she has Favus based on the appearance of her skin and also her little comb is missing hair behind it. She is breathing heavily but not through her mouth. I am going to put Monistat on her twice a day but what else can I do to try and save this girl? Anything oral...

    Chick with deformed eyes- help

    She can see, just not sure how well or if its even normal sight. She doesnt run into things but cant walk straight or hold herself up for long without going backwards. She is in a separate brooder with a stuffed animal. I let her in with the other chicks often when I am watching her so she isnt...

    Chick with deformed eyes- help

    She is drinking good, eating is a little more difficult so I have been giving her yolk to help supplement. She chirps a lot and sounds strong. Cant walk straight to save her life though. Very wobbly and goes backwards more than forward.

    Chick with deformed eyes- help

    Somehow I find all the broken chicks at the feed store and am compelled to bring them home to try and fix them or give them a warm loving death. Today this girl was there...when I got her she had been picked on so has a huge scab on her head. Her eyes were not open at all. Once I got her home I...

    Unabsorbed yolk sac broke and no sound when chirping

    I can get some meds this evening. I am hoping she makes it but she is so much weaker than yesterday. When I told the feed store they gave me a replacement bird and said they would take her. I didnt want her to die in a back room alone so I said I would keep her to see if I could save her, or at...

    Unabsorbed yolk sac broke and no sound when chirping

    No worries about the quote =) I have been giving her Nutri-Drench mixed with water since yesterday...Yesterday when I would give it to her she would perk right up. Today she seems weaker but she is still drinking it via a dropper. How would I best keep it clean? She is so small I dont want to...

    Unabsorbed yolk sac broke and no sound when chirping

    This was her yesterday. She’s currently on a heating pad, in a blanket. Eyes closed and trying to chirp here and there. When her sac broke I freaked out and just cleaned it up so I didnt get any pics of her.

    Unabsorbed yolk sac broke and no sound when chirping

    Yesterday I picked up some 3 day old chicks at the local feed store. Once I got home I realized one still had her yolk sac attached and is much smaller than the others. I kept her separated, gave her nutri-drech, heated with a heating pad and in a cozy soft blanket. I kept the yolk sac as moist...
