    Missing eye

    Just an update, incase anyone else comes across this problem. Another one of my chooks ended up like this one :( Turns out it’s infectious coryza! Treating with antibiotics and soaking eye with warm, salty water and swiping out the puss. Hopefully caught this one in time before the infection...

    Missing eye

    UPDATE: was an infection due to trauma of the eye. She’s had it taken out and sewn up. She’s doing really well and loving the indoor life. 💕

    Missing eye

    I think it was taken over by infection. The vet and I tried swiping off the puss but it wasn’t budging. She’s off for surgery today to probably remove the eye and sew it up. $800 later 😅 but she’s my responsibility and she’s so young I just can’t give up on her! She’s been loving hanging out in...

    Missing eye

    This is how she’s looking today. I’ve got an appointment for the vet tomorrow but really worried about expressing it myself incase I hurt her or do more damage.

    Missing eye

    Hi all! Just woke up to find my girl looking like this! Is she missing an eye? I’m so upset I feel so awful. She’s seems fine otherwise, eating, drinking, running around. I have separated her from the others but am worried this will stress her out as she has two buddies she has a strong bond...

    Checking-In On Peeps - Post Here To Say Hello!

    I started my chicken journey as I have a physical disability and needed a new hobby and a little joy in my life. I’ve now got 11, all of whom I love very much! Unfortunately my illness has gotten worse and I’m in a lot of pain and can’t get down to them as much as I’d like. But they’ve...

    Chicken coughing up saliva

    Hi there! I’ve noticed one of my chickens, whenever she drinks water, she coughs a bit back up along with a fair bit of saliva and also has a bit of dribble down her chin most days. She’s also smells a little stinky. (Probably weird but) I normally like the smell of my chickens, they remind me...

    Funny egg. Veins??

    That’s what I thought but it’s not fluff, it’s the egg itself. Haven’t cracked it yet but will do so today and let you know! :))

    Funny egg. Veins??

    Hi all! Found one of my chook eggs looking a lil weird. Almost like veins or broken capillaries? Very strange. I have one chook who struggles with getting egg bound fairly often, could this be one of hers? Or is there something else I should be looking out for? Love my girls so much I just want...

    Bloody nose

    Hi there. I’ve just noticed my duck has a very bloody nose. She’s acting completely normal but there’s a fair bit of blood so I’m very concerned. Thank you!

    Early duckling?

    Hi there! My duck has been incubating for about three weeks and a duckling has decided to hatch today! Completely healthy but too early. Mummy duck still has about 10 eggs that have another week to hatch and I’m worried baby won’t get any attention. Should I hand raise baby and what’s the best...

    Missing ducks

    thank you! I live in Australia and where I am, we pretty much don’t have any predators other than the crows which go after the ducklings. I’ve tried locking them up at night but they hated it and obviously since I’ve never had a problem before I just let them do their own thing but I guess I may...
