    What on EARTH are these growths in her trachea?

    They were definitely not maggots. They were in a pile of poop that she dropped on my bedroom floor as soon as I set her down. She’s been passing dead, full-sized worms in her stool since. Might be rounds, might be cecals. They’re dead worms now, though, so I’m calling that a win. I dewormed...

    What on EARTH are these growths in her trachea?

    I’ve only added chicks/ducklings from the farm store I work at (Family Farm & Home) and they were all very healthy for weeks after getting them home. One thing I DID just remember is that I had a duckling pass a couple weeks ago that was gasping for a few days and just died in my hands one day...

    What on EARTH are these growths in her trachea?

    I’m all the way up in nw Pennsylvania. I’d give anything for a livestock vet clinic that was accepting new clients so I could just go in 😩

    What on EARTH are these growths in her trachea?

    Thank you! They’re making me very nervous because of how much of her airway they cover and the fact that they have little blood vessels, but I’ve been watching her comb color like a hawk for any signs that she isn’t getting enough air. I’ll take a weeks-long recovery from infectious bronchitis...

    What on EARTH are these growths in her trachea?

    I posted elsewhere a few days ago, but no luck. I have a 2 year old cream legbar hen who has been gasping for about 5 days now. I noticed it when I let them out in the morning and brought her inside immediately because it was very hot and humid. I had a dream that night that I came home from...

    What is up with chick’s legs??

    I’m going to give this a try, as I did see a few posts about the curled toe thing just before I posted. It’s strange that she’s the only one, but who knows what’s going on internally when she already had a deformity in the outside? Up until just the other day, I had been wondering if maybe she’d...

    What is up with chick’s legs??

    I do have someone who would be able to. I’m a certified veterinary assistant, but our classes and the practice I had been working at just didn’t cover birds with anything more than a few slides. I’d like to go ahead and try with the vitamins that someone else recommended because she doesn’t seem...

    What is up with chick’s legs??

    I work at a farm store and I brought home a chick that we can’t sell. Her legs stuck straight out behind her and one leg seemed to be injured when I got her home and took a closer look. It was swollen, had an small, oozing wound, and wouldn’t bend. I thought maybe an injury from being shipped...
