    unsteady on feet 4 year old hen. Any suggestions

    I would check for mites and do a deworming. Does she have abnormal droppings? That usually is a big indicator to me as to what may be the problem, although it isn't always cut an dry, it will at least narrow down whether it could be something bacterial, worms, cocci, etc. Also, is she breathing...

    Chicken found with head missing

    Had this happen two years ago with my Polish pullets They were kept in a secure area(so I thought) but 2 separate mornings I came out to a headless pullet. Never knew what happened because no feather trail, no broken fence or coop and never heard a peep. One night I ended up hearing commotion so...

    Sick Orphy--Please Help!

    I've decided I'm going to try and treat with the Tylan injections after reading some threads online so I can start asap instead of waiting for the other to ship. I'm afraid she wouldn't last that long with her unwillingness to eat and drink. Now, my question is, where she is 10 weeks and a...

    Sick Orphy--Please Help!

    No I don't have any Baytril, I've been searching for it online. I'm thinking it's definitely a respiratory thing with the way her symptoms are now. She is still opening and closing her mouth with every breath. She actually can flap her wings and can still move her legs but just can't support...

    Sick Orphy--Please Help!

    Thank you for the info. I actually read through those threads when I found them on google--they definitely have a lot of useful information. I am going to try and get some Baytril asap and start to treat with some apple cider vinegar to see if that helps any(I've heard this is a natural remedy...

    Sick Orphy--Please Help!

    That was my first thought with it being so cold out, that maybe she got a "cold"/some kind of respiratory issue but it's all the other things going on that was puzzling. I wonder if it could've caused nerve damage that has caused the paralysis? Her symptoms just went downhill so quickly though...

    1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.) Lemon Cuckoo Orpington, 10 weeks. About the same size/weight as the others, although has lost a little condition over past 2 days. 2) What is the behavior, exactly. When I first noticed...

    Hurricane Irene

    Well, we just spent a good 2 hours chasing ducks, chickens, geese, and turkeys around the yard, since we're going to start getting pounded with rain tomorrow and really didn't want to get caught trying to round up then. All 83 of them. We have a pet grooming business at our residence, so there...

    Hurricane Irene

    Okay I need some advice! I live on the Eastern Shore of VA, and it's not looking good for us. We aren't sure whether we will stay or go-and we have a zoo at our house. So my question is, I have around 60 ducks, geese, chickens, and turkeys.....should I leave them out in our yard, or keep them in...

    Nothing left but feathers

    I had the same thing happen about 2 weeks ago. I had a mallard hen who always insisted on laying her nest outside of the safe and secure enclosure, and she would always try to time it so I wouldn't follow her and move her nest back inside. I always found her, except this time. I could not find...

    Help with brand new 'bator!

    Happy Mother's Day to all the mommas out there! I jus got myself a Brinsea Oct 20 Eco, and gearing up for it's maiden hatch I've done my research, and everything I read has said that the manufacture's default the temp setting. What are the odds I get one that isn't set!? Lucky me! My question...

    helpful feedback regarding my little duckling?

    Thanks for your reply...that is what I was thinking could be the problem, and because it has always been smaller and not as pushy as the others. As of today, there isn't much change; all of its' eating/drinking/peeping/waste is normal, and it actually has been standing up for longer periods of...

    some helpful thoughts on my little duckling?

    I feed them unmedicated starter, which is what I have always fed my ducklings-I actually had one of my mallards last year develop the "slipped/twisted" wing, which I was told was from a little too much nutrient intake with it's growth...all my mallards are such piggys in more ways than one!-but...
