    Not sure if a little aspiration?

    Thank you so much for this. I'm not confident in my skills since I'm still quite new to this so I panicked when I saw her open her mouth. I let her go immediately and it stopped shortly after. Today's last dose seemed to go okay - no open mouth at all. So she was given sutures for her...

    Scab or bumblefoot?

    Hi fellow chicken tenders, I volunteer at a community farm that's run by local neighborhood volunteers. I only joined a little over a year ago but have tried my best to learn from both here and youtube on chicken health and care. I've been caring for a chicken who has mild respiratory issues...
