    Cloudy pupil

    Egg has been through the ringer when it comes to injuries. Like broken jaw, missing eyelid, got hung up in a fence and couldn’t walk for a few weeks. His throat got severely damaged from the two butt-kickings his brother gave him. Going blind in one eye is par the course for him 😅 11! That is...

    Cloudy pupil

    My almost 3 year old black Ameraucana boy has a cloudy pupil. I’m thinking cataract as that eye has a history of injuries (you can see he is missing that eyelid thanks to a rooster that he grew up with). I just noticed the funny coloration this morning, and he can see light but not my hand. Has...

    Blind poult

    Hey all, I’ve got a little bronze poult that hatched out yesterday and it is blind in both eyes. It can see bright light but that is as far as it goes... anyone have any experience with teaching a blind bird to eat or drink? I figure if it survives and thrives, it’ll be a special needs inside...

    Infectious coryza

    At this point, there’s nothing wrong with his eye other than it not having an eyelid. I’m not seeing any pus, just the plaques in his mouth back down around where our molars are. It’s kind of hard to explain the smell, it’s not dead, but just enough to make me go Ew, something isn’t right. It...

    Infectious coryza

    Hello everyone, I have a 9 month old black Ameraucana cockerel that I had to hand rear due to severe wryneck and I can’t even begin to explain how I feel about that bird. Last week, I came home and I noticed my Ayam Cemani rooster looked like he had blood on him and then I realized Egg never...

    Love it! I call the sunbathing “sun strokes,” and always accompany it with “You melted!!!”

    Cream legbar chicks

    Hey everyone, I’m sure you’re sick and tired of all of this but I have a question. I placed a chick order from Murray McMurray which included 3 CLB females and 1 CLB male. I’m not an expert on auto-sexing and there were supposed to be 17 (including a freebie) chicks and they sent me 18 and I’m...

    10 week old French Copper Maran leg issues -not an emergency

    They were out of the flock raiser last time I bought feed, I use it for the guineas... May have to change that. He doesn’t have any toe curling, just kind of a very slightly stiff gait with a lot of laying down. I’m also wondering if he strained something while establishing the pecking order. He...

    10 week old French Copper Maran leg issues -not an emergency

    I’ve been wiggling his toes and he doesn’t really react too much. Nothing seems swollen.
