    Please help me try to dx my flock - or at least what to try next!

    1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.) It is the entire flock, ranging from birds about 7 years old to 2 years old - various breeds 2) What is the behavior, exactly. Not laying, sneezing, wheezing - but NO discharge 3) How long...

    Ugh - need some help!

    Thanks for all the help! I wasn't sure if all this was even related, so I thought I would relay every part I was sold Piperazine at the feed store- is that not for this kind of worm, or too strong for the first round? I didn't realize quarantine was suggested 2 months - now I could just kick...

    WANTED - male juvenile/young adult peacock in NH, any color but white

    Over the winter, one of my husbands peacocks took off, and we have never been able to find him. It was his fathers day present a couple years ago, so I want to replace him.

    Bird with hurt leg...any ideas?

    speckled hills, that sounds like a fantastic idea. Isn't heat alternated with ice good for swelling in humans? Off to google! My vet was closed when I posted this last night, but I did find an emergency vet with some limited knowlege of birds, but no other idea than wait and see, and let the...

    Bird with hurt leg...any ideas?

    I have a peacock that thinks he is a chicken, does that count? Snowpea is about 1 1/2 - 2 years old, and yesterday he got into a scuffle with a coyote. Amazingly, there are no obvious wounds, though the coyote pulled out mounds of feathers. I brought him to the vet today, who said she couldn't...

    Hen With Distended Abdomen- Egg Bound? (dead)

    We recently had a hen die from similar symtoms, and several others that had swollen abdomens as well. The chicken expert at Agway recommended a course of abx in the water (I am sorry, I can remember the name of the one we used) and that helped the rest get over it. He said is was probably just...
