    Newbie here: worried my Ameraucanas may have pox or frostbite

    Hello :) It sounds like the ladies are acting normal. Are you sure those are not just peck marks? :) The girls will peck (especially the comb area) to establish dominance and pecking order. If it's frostbite, I would use a think layer of a salve called Waxelene on their combs.It helps heal...

    What can I do for birds missing feathers

    Props to you for taking those poor hens in...they are truly lucky that you had a heart to nurture them back to health. Some people...ugh. It sounds like all of the suggestions so far are great! I don't know that I would use any VetRx. The only other thing I would suggest is putting NutriDrench...

    Egg Deformaties- Should I be concerned?

    Hi All, I have some concern over a few eggs we have been gathering lately. I have been coming across, what appears to be, super calcified eggs but today I gathered one that is very oddly shaped/deformed. Should I be concerned about this? From what I have researched a lot of sites give...

    Week old chick with poop pasted butt.

    I hope all is well and that you have been able to help the little chicks, but... They really need to be in a draft-free area. Their tiny systems are too sensitive to handle drafts and chills. When a couple of mine had "pasty-butts" I filled a small tupperware container with lukewarm water...

    help- Guinea with swollen toe, too far gone to save?

    Poor thing :( Another idea may be to soak her feet in warm water with epsom salts. If she's inside and separated now, you can give her a warm epsom salt bath and dry her with a hairdryer after- it sounds silly, but they actually like it. The epsom salt baths may help draw out infection and make...

    help- Guinea with swollen toe, too far gone to save?

    One of my girls was hobbling around when we noticed that she had a little black circle on the bottom of her pad. It was infected to the point that her toe/foot started to swell and the scales were a bit nasty and falling off. We had her separated to keep her protected from the outdoors (it was...
