she hasn’t done it since, i’m hoping it was just spring allergies. i’m taking her to an expert at some point soon though and i have volunteer work at a bird rescue tomorrow so i’ll show them the video. thanks for your concern <3

(Will be linking video in a reply.) This is the second time this month she’s wheezed like this, the first time it happened I gave tylan and it went away the next day. She doesn’t seem to be in emotional distress and the calmer she is, the quieter it gets. No visible physical obstruction in her...

Will do. She loves picking through her oyster shell bowl when she’s in her wheelchair!

My little disabled silkie Squirt has laid two eggs in two days and seems to be working on a third. She’s always been a two-egg-a-week type of gal and has never laid three days in a row. Is she laying too much? I know it may just be the fact that it’s springtime but we lost a girl from...

Update- unfortunately all three were taken by someone else today. thanks everyone for your help.

She’s currently in a quarantine 50-gallon tote in my parents’ bathroom, it has one covered window so it’s pretty dark and it’s quiet and warm and she has water, hydro hen and food right now. she’s also got some scrambled egg. We might take her to the vet if she doesn’t improve, we didn’t take...

Hi all, my chicken Jojo fell off of my dad's lap yesterday and landed on her back. She just turned a year old. This morning she's not moving much, not eating and generally acting like she feels badly. She also closes her eyes and flinches when it's bright. we think it's a concussion. We're...

One of my chickens, a human-raised indoor chicken, just will not drink water. I’ve tried multiple different waterers, syringes, everything. She just won’t drink and is showing signs of dehydration. I think she just never learned to, being human raised and all. Is unflavored gelatin a...
