    HELP! 5 Month emu not eating or drinking

    Hope your emu was okay! She made a full recovery the next day, I think she got dehydrated as it was so hot and the idiots like to sit out in it. Currently got an issue with my other female, not wanting or drinking and hunched.

    4 day old chick not weight bearing on one leg

    Thank you, I checked her tendon and it was in the correct place, she has continued to improve and can't tell at all now so assumed she must have injured it. I imagine one of the others stood on jt

    4 day old chick not weight bearing on one leg

    Hi, I have a 4 day old brahma chick who is not putting weight on his right foot. I have been away for a few days so not sure when it happened. Possible slipped tendon? What do I look for and do if it is? Never had this in a chick so any advice would be great.

    Broken joint in cockerel!

    He walks on it with a limp and when he does his knee goes to the side. I have it wrapped in vet wrap to stabilise it at the moment and he can walk almost normally with it on now better than he did without it. I have given him some metacam and the avian vet near me I am waiting to hear back from...

    Marek's

    So I have a chicken who has gone lame, he started two days ago with a slight limp which then seem to develop to curled over toes. He is in quarantine, but another hen has started with similar symptoms. I am thinking this is Mareks disease! So do I need to cull the infected ones and then deep...

    Blind duck, I think!!!

    So a little help guys, she is still not eating, eating little bits every now and then, she is still drinking. I wonder if she may have caught a stomach bug? She is loosing weight, I can now feel her chest bone. I'm running out of options to feed her, at this rate I might have to put her down so...

    Blind duck, I think!!!

    I did talk about culling her when she was younger. Was talked out of it, as she only had a slight bend in her neck and got on really well with the other ducklings. She still follows her two friends around the garden.

    Blind duck, I think!!!

    I won't be able to get game bird grower till at least next week, so I will put her back on the chick crumb. She has been having vitamin supplements since she was young, as we thought she might have wry neck. It isn't she just has a deformed neck. All my poultry have access to food all day, but...
