    As the title says, I have a 4 week old chick who's leg is splayed up and outwards. She's been like this since I got her at a few days old and I've tried a lot to no avail. I've tried vet wrap, medical tape, both at the same time and she always takes it off within 12 hours or less, even if it...

    I had a bunch if aqua zole leftover from when another flock of mine caught canker about 4 months back. As for the stuff with the pox vaccine I can't say for certain if it took for sure, as he received it well over a year ago.

    3 year old silkie boy with strange face swelling

    To get this out of they way first, he only has a single flockmate, a very old blind hen who has a clipped beak, who, seems to show no symptoms of illness. We live in south NJ in a fairly marshy area, it certainly could have been a bug of some type. We've got all sorts of them around her for...

    Buff Orpington rooster found dead suddenly on his back, with blood coming from mouth??

    Thank you for your response. We talked to our vet and he said it sounded like gapeworm to him. So we're going to treat for that obviously. But I really don't think it was another rooster. My brother and I have thoroughly inspected the body and the other roos and there's absolutely no sign of...

    Strange Lesions Appearing On Cornish X's Face?

    Thank you for all of the advice, this article is really helpful! We ordered an antibiotic for or chickens that aren't infected (to our knowledge) and will work on helping the infected ones. And thankfully, it seems like so far they have the "dry" varient, so that's slightly relieving.

    Strange Lesions Appearing On Cornish X's Face?

I also think these same lesions have appeared and disappeared in my pair of 6-month-old Broad Breasted White Turkeys. My brother and I did a little research and found that the symptoms of...

    Eggbound Cornish X Hen?

    It's off now, it was about 50°F at that time. Also, as an update we researched a bit more and found that she most likely has an impacted crop. We'll most likely have to put her down.

    Eggbound Cornish X Hen?
