    Wry neck followed by sudden death, HELP!!!

    I have mostly ruled out Newcastle as there has not been a confirmed case in Washington state where I live, the same with Marek's, she was also missing some of the classic symptoms of that disease.

    Wry neck followed by sudden death, HELP!!!

    Help, please. My lovely silkie, Lady Gaga as she was affectionately nicknamed by my friends, developed a limp yesterday. We separated her and noticed that the leg she favored seemed to pop when maneuvered. She was also slightly leaning her head to the left and her cluck seemed off. She got...

My ladies decided they liked to lay under the trees instead of the nesting box and the crows were devouring them and then my beloved Queen Ti was euthanized today, she had long been suffering from internal laying. She...

    As I thought, my little blue didn't make it . Thank you all again for your advice. I will now keep an eye on her brooder mates to make sure that they are ok. My husband said that when he found her, the others were sitting right next to her little sepperated enclosure peeping loudly. Now that...

    OMG I killed her Omg omg *update on the extent of Munchies wound

    I am so sorry, but one thing I can say is that you tried. A lot of people wouldn't have cared enough to nurse it back to health. You tried, you cared, and you loved and that is what really matters. Accidents happen, even the most skilled vet, surgeon, doctor, you name it, have made mistakes just...

    Chick acting like it is drinking water when it is not, making a whole lot of racket

    I gave it some yogurt which it gobbled right up, refreshed the Sav-a-chick and it has perked up. Brooder temp is at 95, other chicks are fine. Seems like it's having a little trouble walking around but it is defiantly still thirsty and hungry. One eye wants to stay shut but it can open it. I am...

    Of course I'm a newbie and of course I need help! I have a little blue silkie that is about a week old today. It has been making a lot of noise lately, the angry peep kind, very loud. We have also noticed that it is acting like it is drinking when it isn't anywhere near water. I have seen it...
