Tuesday June 17: Thank you for your help! I’ve watched the videos. I have the baby bird food and have fed her.
A second Brahma (Light)has joined her. This one is also having the greenish loose stool& weight loss, but doesn’t have her eyes closed.
The Buff’s eyes haven’t responded to...
Thank you so much. I now have a duck acting lethargic! The duck laid an egg this morning, ate, swam then later in the day got very quiet.
Back to Brahma girl:
The vet said her crop was normsl. I honestly don’t know what her crop feels like before she eats?
Her poo is liquidy with whitish...
My 2 year old Buff Brahma is on day 3 of lethargy, both eyes closed, loose stool. Vet put her on antibiotics, ruled out parasites / mites. Vent is normal. She only drinks / eats by syringe (organic baby food). Help! She’s on 2nd day of antibiotics. Vet didn’t suggest more Nutrí Drench.
Rest of...
I am just seeing this, months old. I thought If get notification! Do you still have your Pekín? We could trade, your duck for a hen. What is your one left? I may have a similar breed or personality.
My error- she was born with it and hasn’t been able to walk, the leg is too long and bends behind her. I forget the formal diagnosis. She was seen by a vet, he gave a grim prognosis. She isn’t sad or sickly! It’s just hard for a chicken to not be able to walk, roost etc. She’s a solid size...
...herself. It’s not pretty, but she’s independent!
With winter approaching I would love her to be someone’s pet & get the spoiling she deserves. *I have a makeshift chair and sling for her to be off the ground, but it only works inside.
Despite having a flock I adore, none of them tolerate...
Does anyone have an adult female duck they would sell? One of my pair of year old ducks was killed. I got 3 ducklings so Elizabeth (0
Pictures below) wouldn’t be an only duck. Unfortunately, Elizabeth is terrified of them (they’re now 6 weeks old).
I have 4 pullets available got a new home. Will be best layers. They are inoculated for Mareks, hand raised, and are all beautiful!

...3 yrs is a trooper. My vet thinks poultry pets are a goldmine, I’m sure. I’ve learned how to use splints, treat eye infections & use peepers. I’m always learning, this community is a godsend. Thank you!
*The ducks have been a breeze, supremely messy, but daily layers with no illnesses or...
Great Update. The Poultry Nutri-Drench seems to have an amazing result. She is eating and drinking normally today. I’m watching as I know chickens are wily 😁; but I am much encouraged!
I dosed the flock and fed them all warm oatmeal snd added bruisers yeast yo their food as it’s moulting...
I am a 3 year Newbie so this is a very humble, simple idea that worked for me / But if experienced chicken folk say otherwise, trust them! 😊
I used these splints and tape successfully.
Best thoughts being sent!
Thank you for responding! Her crop is soft. She is swallowing okay. Would worms show in her stool? There’s no blood or unusual aspect since she ate some scrambled egg.
She is standing instead of sitting as she sleeps, is that normal? I left water and newly cooked steel cut oatmeal in the crate...
1) What type of bird , age and weight

Yesterday fine, ate worms out of garden Tends to be spunky, social, active. I call her a puppy chicken.
This morning she became lethargic and just sits with feathers puffed up. Not...
Today my 5 month old hen had to be euthanized. She had been eating and drinking normally, or so I thought. She had some odd tics, but was active & incredibly cuddly.
This morning she collapsed snd I took her immediately yo the Vet. I was told she had a neurological virus that attacked her...
