    Egg Bound or No? (Pictures Included)

    I forgot to say that she is 2 years and 4 months old and is a frequent layer. She's never had any problem like this before, even when she may have laid a soft shelled egg. And yeah, I've been researching on my own, I just thought maybe someone would know if I included pictures if soaking was...

    Egg Bound or No? (Pictures Included)

    My hen, Nugget, is my only white egg layer and I have not gotten any white eggs lately, so I know she has not laid an egg in a while. A few days ago she was acting like she way laying one and never did. She never acted like she had any kind of problem behavior or health wise. Today she was...

    Limping Silkie Roo, not sure what to do

    I, too, have a silkie rooster that was limping with no visible injury the other day. Then a few days later he blew up like a balloon because he had ruptured an air sac in his stomach trying to jump somewhere too high for him. You can see if you're in the same situation by gently feeling around...

    HELP! - I think I might have accidentally killed him!

    We've left him alone since we tried to pierce the skin, he's doing much better and I don't plan on touching him anymore than I have to until he is well. :']

    HELP! - I think I might have accidentally killed him!

    So, we think we might have pierced the skin...not really sure...His skin was seriously tough. My dad was trying really hard to pierce his skin and still be delicate. He ended up getting under it but...I don't know. I feel like it may have done something but there's still air in his head and I...

    HELP! - I think I might have accidentally killed him!

    ^I believe it is a burst air sac, if you actually wanted to know. --- Silverfire, thank you for all your replies. I'm still waiting on someone else to get home and bring a needle to pop it with. I'm still concerned about the air in his throat though. He's shaken his head a few more times...

    HELP! - I think I might have accidentally killed him!

    All you have to do is prick the skin, right? Like, just the tip of a needle, right?

    HELP! - I think I might have accidentally killed him!

    I thought about taking pictures but he is a Silkie so even if I took pictures, you wouldn't be able to see where there's a bunch of air or anything. He still just looks like a pile of fluff. You really can't see a difference visually anyways right now since I moved the air around...which I still...

    HELP! - I think I might have accidentally killed him!

    Where would be the best place to stick the needle should it come to it? Under the wing, his thigh, his belly in the spot where it's squishy or what? He's walking around, and drinking, but his face and throat is bloated now and I can't help but feel guilty. He even started violently shaking his...

    HELP! - I think I might have accidentally killed him!

    My rooster was filling with air under his wings and around his thighs and my brother read up on some stuff and told me to try and massage it and see if it would make him burp it up saying that's what you do if there is air in the crop, but it wasn't in his crop. But I figured it couldn't hurt to...

    Rooster Bloated Like A Balloon?

    Another update: He's perked up a bit socially and he's eating more enthusiastically than he was earlier. But he STILL feels like a balloon when picked up and looks like one while walking around. Like he is full of air. He seriously just looks like a little blimp walking around right now. If he...

    Rooster Bloated Like A Balloon?

    Yesterday my bantam silkie rooster, Wendigo, had a bit of a limp to him. So I checked his foot thoroughly all over and there was no sores or anything so I figured he just landed wrong from a jump, hurt a toe, or something simple. But then when I picked him up I noticed he felt different. I can...

    Wounded Hen - Nasty Looking Skinned Spot

    So, now I have a second one starting to get a scratch on her. I've completely cut the hens off from the big rooster until my dad decides to stop being lazy and clip spurs. I wanted to put the one that was starting to get a scratch together with Betty since she is almost completely healed, but...

    Wounded Hen - Nasty Looking Skinned Spot

    Thanks you guys, flushing it out and Neosporin is the route I was planning to take. I just didn't know if there was anything else to do to speed it along [like the protein foods that were mentioned.] And we do have multiple roosters, but only one rooster has access to the hens at a time [And...

    Wounded Hen - Nasty Looking Skinned Spot

    So, I found my hen, Betty, with this hole in her side on Thursday, and we do not know what caused it but we assume that one of the roosters was a bit too rough on accident while...doing their thing. I separated her and it looked like it was kind of scabbing over the next day, so I figured it was...
