    Hens eye. Pupil smaller

    Ok thank you I only have 2 birds, so I’m hoping she can live with this as I don’t want to have just 1 bird. She would be too lonely. I was planning on getting new chicks but won’t be anymore as I don’t want to infect an other birds

    Hens eye. Pupil smaller

    I’m not sure if she was. I got her off a friends brother who got them from a lady that could no longer take care of them. They are almost 2 years old and I read that mereks is usually when they are younger or can they get it at any age ?

    Dried poop in vent

    She was hatched in June so she isn’t laying yet. I didn’t take any photos and I got the poop out. It was like a hard mass that I had to work at soaking with water and digging out. I’m just worried about her diet and what I should be feeding her to make sure the poop doesn’t build up again

    Dried poop in vent

    I purchased a Lavender Orpington who had been at the bottom of the pecking order and lost a lot of feathers. I suspected she had vent gleet as her vent was very messy and smelly.
