    I need help now PLEASE! :'(

    How is she? She can certainly survive this if she doesn't get infected. It is amazing when these chickens can make it through. I would only use a saline wash NO hydrogenperoxide. and put neosporin all over it. I would keep her in a crate away from the others, in the house would be great...

    wonky silkie

    Here is something I posted for another on vaulted skulls of silkies. It can make them prone to neurological problems and symptoms, especially if they get pecked in the head. http://chickenjunkie.com/chicken-breeds/silkie-chicken/vaulted-skulls/vaulted-skulls-in-silkies/

    Duck leg injury

    I agree with the advice you have been given so far. She really should be in a small crate. I had a duck limping slightly and put her in a crate for a little while to limit her walking. I also have a barn, so after about a week I confined her to a stall so she could walk around a little, but...

    Help! Call Duck attacked by hawk has gurgly sound when she breathes.

    This morning she seems good. I am keeping her covered in a crate in my house. She is actually resting now. I don't think she has eaten, but she is definitely drinking. If I peek at her, she hisses at me, but her breathing sounds normal now. maybe the impact of the hawk hitting her did...

    dog attack

    The only thing I can add that I haven't read yet is that this hen should be on an antibiotic especially if she has a deep wound like you said. Heat is a great sign of infection also. I can't tell you what you should put her on though, hopefully a more experienced reader will post.

    HELP! EMERGENCY, SICK SILKIE HEN! What can I do?!

    does it look like someone has been pecking her head? Some silkies have vaulted skulls and because of the shape of their skull, they can be injured easily. this tells more about the skull http://chickenjunkie.com/chicken-breeds/silkie-chicken/vaulted-skulls/vaulted-skulls-in-silkies/ I hope...

    Help! Call Duck attacked by hawk has gurgly sound when she breathes.

    I have been searching all over trying to find what my duck's symptoms mean. When I first got to her and picked her up, she had blood around her bill. I picked her up to bring her in the house and check her for injuries. She rattles when she breaths. and keeps making a sound as if she is...

    illness mystery driving me crazy! Suggestions?

    How about the wart like thing, is it still there? Are there any other growths? Can you post a couple pictures of the eyes and growths. Are they eating and drinking, happy or depressed?

    Whats Going On... regular crowing and then deflated squeaky toy sound

    I don't think it is anything to worry about. I have a few roosters and some do it and some don't. I think with the air and force that they are expelling to create their crow, it is just their lungs reflexively pulling in air. If you force all your air out, your lungs just pull in more air...

    Rooster limping after a fall...

    I had a hen that did something to her leg. She was limping pretty badly. I actually think she pulled a muscle because she could not pull her leg forward. I put her in a crate with food and water for a couple days and she did great. I would put him up for a couple of days to keep him from...

    Something is on my chick's beak?

    I know you haven't gotten a reply on this, but I did a little research for you and I think it is probably the fowl pox or avian pox like your other hen had. If I were you, I would separate this bird completely. Completely wash all feeders and waterers and disinfect the living space for the...

    Duck's third eyelid injured*****PICTURES

    Her eye looked a little better this morning. The 3rd eyelid isn't sticking out as much as it was, but is still out. I put vetericyn on her eye again last night and this morning, but i let her out to be with her family this morning. I will catch her and treat her and put her up again tonight...

    Duck's third eyelid injured*****PICTURES

    I looked for the terramycin first. None of the tack stores around me can get it anymore for some reason. So, I bought the vetericyn as I didn't want to wait to start treating it. As for the lump, I'm not sure where you mean. The little white bit on the top edge of the 3rd lid, is white. I...

    Duck's third eyelid injured*****PICTURES

    My call duck (about 3 months old) came in 3 days ago with a fleshy piece of skin in the corner of her eye. Was thinking that maybe she got pecked or hit a thorn in the water and was a little irritated. I looked around the eye, above and below the actual lid and under the 3rd lid and do not see...
