    Easter Egger - 6 week Roo or Pullet?

    Hi, at six weeks that looks like a male to me

    Poult’s vent is protruding from its body, clogged but not sealed

    Look closely at the first and third pictures. You can see that its rear is pushed outward, as if stretched. I first noticed it an hour or so ago. It’s not exactly lethargic, but also not vigorous or energetic at all. It still eats. It squatted and pushed to try and defecate once, but...

    6 week old chick can’t walk—wobbles and sits on hocks

    Unfortunately no. I tried the sling and that didn’t seem to work. Since she wasn’t improving, I stopped giving her vitamins. However, she also wasn’t worsening so I ended up just letting her back with the other chicks. She’s still doing fine, though it is a little more difficult for her to move...

    6 week old chick can’t walk—wobbles and sits on hocks

    Thanks for your response. These photos don’t really show the problem very well, but you can tell that she always sticks one of her legs out in front of her and leans on her wings to stay upright. She is actually about 8 weeks old. I am still giving her the vitamins. I haven’t stopped since...

    6 week old chick can’t walk—wobbles and sits on hocks

    One of my chicks has been unable to walk for a couple weeks now. I first noticed it when she started sitting on her hocks more than usual, and a couple days later she could hardly walk at all. I isolated her. I’d been giving her vitamin E and B-complex and she’d improved enough to be able to...

    Is my turkey hen going to start laying soon?

    I’m in Phoenix, Arizona, so would that mean they could start even earlier than the 15th?

    Is my turkey hen going to start laying soon?

    Hi everybody, this is my first time raising turkeys so I don’t really know what physical signs or behavioral cues I should be looking for when it comes to hens beginning to lay eggs. I have four females and one male. They are all Royal Palms and are 9 months old now. My jake has begun to mate...

    Pheasant Can’t Walk… updated thread

    Help! My Pheasant Isn't Doing Anything!!!! CAN'T WALK!!

    I finally got the vitamins! How much of the vitamin E should I give him daily? They are soft gels so should I cut it open and pour some of it in his water?

    Help! My Pheasant Isn't Doing Anything!!!! CAN'T WALK!!

    It’s possible that he has a head injury… he and his siblings all tend to pick on each other a bit and occasionally draw a bit of blood (I immediately quarantine when this happens), but I don’t think there’s any problems beneath the skin. I live in Phoenix, AZ. There has not been any outbreaks...

    Help! My Pheasant Isn't Doing Anything!!!! CAN'T WALK!!

    I got him to drink a bit of electrolyte water that I mixed up real quick, but only if I dipped his beak in it myself; he didn’t do it on his own. I added some water to his gamebird crumbles food, and he seemed excited about that because he ate it by himself (while I held him up) when I put it...

    Help! My Pheasant Isn't Doing Anything!!!! CAN'T WALK!!

    My pheasant just started showing similar symptoms this morning. I went out to check on the six of them and found him laying on his side with his head twisted up and back, kicking his legs and unable to move. I picked him up and he didn’t chirp or struggle much (other than kicking his legs) but I...

    Very thin hen, abnormal poop

    One of my favorite hens has been acting a little less active lately, but I didn’t think much of it until last night. I noticed that she has goopy cream-colored poop, and it gets stuck in her bum feathers a lot. Her comb is also pale, and she walks with her head tucked in. This morning when I...
