    Horrific Bird Flu Experience Killed My Whole Flock and my Cat

    I'm a hobby farmer from British Columbia, although admittedly my parents do most of the work cause I'm a bit of a germaphobe. I live with my Mom and Dad and a back yard full of fowls near the forest, geese, ducks, muscovies, and many chickens, all free range. I was out for a month to do house...

    Swollen or fat looking belly on Muscovy, should I be concerned?

    Ok, that's good, I've never seen it this pronounced in a duck.

    Swollen or fat looking belly on Muscovy, should I be concerned?

    My Muscovy hen, Biscuit, seems to have swelling around her vent and in her gut. This is in correlation with the mating season. The drakes (who are not muscovies and are a lot faster than her) have been awful to her and it’s gotten to the point where I’m questioning making a roast duck dinner...

    Why is my duckling dying?

    My ducks hatched a bunch of eggs a couple days ago and ended up with 4 little chicks, but last night one of the chicks got stuck under the coop and died of hypothermia but by some miracle, I managed to revive him using cpr. He was doing so well after this, they had a bit of a tremor but after a...

    Does anyone know where I can get button quail hatching eggs in Canada BC?

    I'm looking to buy some quail/button quail eggs but most stores I'm finding sell more than 12 eggs and my mom doesn't want any more than 5 quail. Can anyone recommend any stores or breeders in Canada, preferably in BC or at least ship to BC. I'd love to get true button quail but I've heard the...

    My silkies keep getting pasty butt

    I've raised baby silkies twice now and both times I've had to deal with pasty butt. Their butts are so fluffy that they accumulate poop until it blocks their vents and I have to bathe them regularly or trim their butt feathers which is difficult on a small bird and I always worry about cutting...

    Chick gasping for air and is only half conscious

    They died over night. I think it could have been an infection because of how the problem kept getting rapidly worse and I don't think whatever was in her throat was getting bigger, plus she was fully capable of getting air in and out of her lungs but for some reason she was suffocating.

    Chick gasping for air and is only half conscious

    There's no way she's going to survive, if she does she'll have some form of brain damage

    Chick gasping for air and is only half conscious

    Could I suck it out with a dropper. I'm getting desperate because it's clear she's very close to death.

    Chick gasping for air and is only half conscious

    I think there is something in her throat but I think it's too deep. How could I get it out?

    Chick gasping for air and is only half conscious

    I noticed it this afternoon, she's 1 day old. I didn't think it was possible to look into her beak so I didn't try, I'll try to take a look.

    Hen or Roo. Help please

    The light orange one looks like a hen and I think the mix is a rooster but I'm not 100% sure.

    Chick gasping for air and is only half conscious

    Does anyone know what's wrong with her? She's so lethargic and I don't think she's getting enough oxygen. Her chirps are scratchy and shrill when she does get knocked out of her gasping, dizzy state, usually only ever because she got scared or excited.
