I’m not sure how long she had been out there, but we found our 4 month old silkie lethargic with blood in her nostrils. She’s very cold, lethargic, and can barely hold her head up, but she’s fighting fluids by syringe. She was introduced to our flock along with another 4month silkie roo about 2...
I think that passing the egg in her case did help, but I think it depends on what’s causing your girl to prolapse. We really benefited from giving her a liquid diet to allow her to pass stools without repeated prolapse, as they were soft. I read on another thread where a hen had scabbed up like...
Thank you for replying, we’ll continue to keep it clean and apply some triple antibiotic ointment to the area. It looks like it hasn’t been opened, but she insists on preening around the area, however she avoids the actual navel spot.
Update: She was able to rest up a little. I checked the area...
Hey friends. I have a week old silkie chick that started crying and preening their stomach profusely. I looked them over and noticed a sore on their stomach. A little research into chick anatomy led me to the conclusion that it may be where the umbilical cord was. I have never had this issue...
Thank you so much for the response. We were getting ready to start considering the option of euthanasia, but then she passed an egg. The egg is just like the others she has laid, and she didn’t prolapse! She’s currently on a liquid only diet with lots of vitamins and supplements. She has passed...
I have a year old bantam hen with a vent prolapse. We found her just a few minutes ago and we’re not sure how long it has been. We tried to clean as much of the stool off as possible and manually revert it with a lubricated finger, but it’s still popping out and I’m concerned that she may have...
He is doing wayyyy better now. He’s made a complete recovery! He has 4 more days of antibiotics left, and then I think he’ll be completely in the clear ☺️
I did some research and I think maybe the male had a hidden Blond gene??? They also have what looks like variations of Frosty on their flight feathers and near their vents. Idk though. They’re very sweet and beautiful babies though :)
My sweet boy Duck has been very lethargic. We noticed it yesterday evening. He’s housed with his mate Goose, and two 4 week old babies Pigeon and Biscuit. The other doves are acting as they usually do, but Duck is lethargic, fluffed up, with runny green stools, and has little to no appetite. We...
I have two recently hatched doves, one male and one female, from a Wild Type male and a Snow White female. They came out resembling their father, however, their colors are noticeably different. I hope it captures well in photos, but their coloration is warmer than the father’s and their flight...
They're definitely doing better, but it's still a bit rocky. It almost seems like she doesn't like how he coos. And she would be constantly preening him, but he would get annoyed and basically peck her telling her to back off. I've noticed his coo is starting to sound more like hers, and she...
So I recently incorporated a Wild Type male ring neck in with my Snow White female ringneck. They love and groom on each other constantly and rarely separate from each other.
I noticed the other day that when the male begins bow cooing, the female will peck at his head to silence him. She only...
