    Rabbit with flaky ears

    Hi, anyone ever seen this? We raise meat rabbits for about 2 years now. I have dealt with ear mites before, but there are no crusty scabs in her ear canal. Just weird flaky scales inside her ears (also some minor dandruff like flaker on the fur on her side). I had a rabbit with fur mites a...

    Baby rabbit died at 7 weeks, one other lathargic

    Update: The second lethargic one is also dead now too. The other 7 all look healthy, bouncy, eating drinking, except one which seems grumpy and has been sitting still in the corner all day. Am really hoping this is not contagious whatever it is. The mom is pregnant and due to kindle in about...

    Baby rabbit died at 7 weeks, one other lathargic

    I have checked the rabbit over very carefully, and nothing out of the ordinary. I questioned my 12 yr old daughter who helps feed them. We keep the feed bags of their food in plastic tubs (we live on the coast in Oregon, and its very damp here) and she said on Tuesday the bag ran out and she...

    Baby rabbit died at 7 weeks, one other lathargic

    I have been raising meat rabbits for about 8 months. I have two litters now still with their mothers (was about to wean them), each mother had 8 kits and their cages are next to each other. This morning one of the 7 week old babies died for no apparent reason. They haven't had ear mites...

    Rooster spent a few weeks hiding, and is now dead

    2nd dead rooster. A friend who lives in town and can't have roosters gave us an "accidental" rooster. He was young, about 3 months. Been doing fine, little skiddish, hadn't even heard him crow yet. This morning I found him dead on the floor of the coop. Could my Aggressive Banty Frizzle...

    Rooster spent a few weeks hiding, and is now dead

    We have 14 hens, and 2 roosters (now 1). Our Big Daddy rooster was a Silver laced Red Wyandotte, was raised from a chick and was 3 years old. We accidently ended up with another rooster (a black frizzle cochin) last summer. He was supposed to be a girl. We thought maybe he wouldn't challenge...

    liver disfunction causing yellow poop and softshelled eggs?

    I have 8 almost 6 month old hens. 5 of them are laying (though I'm not entirely sure which ones). About the time the first started laying about a month ago, I noticed one of my hens had bright yellow (sulphur colored) spots in her otherwise normal grey-ish white-ish poop. I watched them for a...
