    Two bird issues - bumblefoot and general failure to thrive

    Thanks for the replies. Here's some videos I took: the first video shows it in its basement room. it isn't running all over the place, but it gets on the ladder to roost itself, gets food and water freely, and poops all over the place so it must be moving. a lot more signs of movement than...

    Two bird issues - bumblefoot and general failure to thrive

    Got some new birds rescued as surplus from a breeder. Two are having issues. The first is fine behaviorally, but appears to have double bumblefoot. I pulled a hard dark scab off of one, but feeling around couldn't find a further kernel of infection in either of them. I've been doing epsom...

    Lethargic hen, not eating, big squishy crop

    Hen can't stand / diarrhea / aspirated medication

    no new additions for about a year. feed is just the tractor supply or dumor layer pellets. she is still immobile and lays on her side. breathing is heavy and still occasionally wheezy. I don't have any recent pics but could get some a little later.

    Hen can't stand / diarrhea / aspirated medication

    I've got an 18 month old hen that can't catch a break. First noticed she was having balance issues and isolated her inside. She was also having diarrhea. The next day she couldn't stand. Day after that she couldn't sit up and was flopped over. Consistent diarrhea only which sort of...
