    Am I crazy??? Egg Yolk Peritonitis

    She’s still hanging moving around well and getting excited about treats. I’m off work tomorrow so I’ll be able to see more of how she’s doing. The vet called me today and said she sent out the X-rays from a couple days ago just to be sure she wasn’t missing something. The avian vet that read...

    Weird skin issue? I’d love some help!

    Hi! This is my first time posting to BYC. Thanks in advance for your help :) A couple weeks ago I noticed my 1 year old mystic maran hen has what looks like pink, scaleless lines down the outside of each leg. I’ll post a picture for clarity. On both legs, only this small outside strip is...
