    Day 57. Feeling very worried!

    I have an emu egg in the incubator. Today is day 57 and he has not pipped. As of this moment, he is alive. The egg wiggles around when I whistle to it and stays warm (except the air cell) when I take it out of the incubator for a while. We incubated at 97. Low humidity. Like I said, it...

    Severe prolapse -please help (guinea hen)

    My young guinea hen (3-4 months) has an extreme prolapse. I massaged it with oil and tucked it back in last night but she strains and pushes it back out right away. I stuck my finger in to feel for an egg and can't feel anything but I don't know how far in it would be. She has never laid an egg...

    Leg problems?

    Any idea what may be up here? I can feel the tendon on the back of his hock and it is not slipped. Could there be something wrong with her hip? I raised this chick from a day old and this just started on Sunday. I have the worst luck. https://instagram.com/p/BYHrVgEFH4X/

    What can cause temporary clouding of chickens eyes?

    It won't let me post the video. It says it is the wrong file type? Here is a screenshot.

    What can cause temporary clouding of chickens eyes?

    I currently have a sick chicken (I made a separate post about this). I just remembered another piece of information. On the first day I noticed my chicken was unwell (July 1st). I noticed that both of her eyes were cloudy. I caged her overnight and by morning her eyes had cleared up...

    Is this an owl?

    Great horned owls have a slightly different call. The Barred owl does the "Who cooks for you" and it is def, 100% not either of those. My money is on pigeon!

    White leghorn lethargic and weak - I don't know why.

    I was incorrect. I have been feeding them crumble, not pellets. I used the grower crumble until they were 10 or 11 weeks then mixed with the layer. They don't eat much crumble though. They have free run of our property and mostly eat bugs and plants in the yard and woods. We also feed them all...

    Is this an owl?

    It is really hard to hear the sound but the first thing that comes to mind is a band-tailed pigeon. Check out the sound they make on that cornell link.

    White leghorn lethargic and weak - I don't know why.

    I do not think it is Marek's. She isn't behaving like the videos at all. When I bathe her (to get poo off her bottom), she does wiggle around a bit if she doesn't like the way she is being held. She also gets a little crabby and wiggles when it is time to insert the tube into her throat/crop...

    White leghorn lethargic and weak - I don't know why.

    I got this little lady on March 12th so she is approx 17 weeks old. She was fine until approx 2 weeks ago when she seemed to be a bit weak and lethargic. The first thing I recall noticing is that she seemed pale around her eyes and in her comb. Her eyes seemed beady as a result. I immediately...
