I also have a duck that seems to suddenly have went wobbly and unable to walk right im thinking it’s also niacin deficiency anyone know what i need to get for it? I’m from Australia for reference so anything that needs a lot of shipping time would maybe be too late
Hey everyone, I have this pullet who has a bad beak since birth and was just wondering if I could cut it any certain way before she grows up to make it easier for her to use her beak to forage and peck at grass as currently she needs deep layer of pellets to reach any food. I’ve attached photos...
Thank you for the reply, I’ve taken her to a avian vet and they said it could be a sprain or break on the leg and also lice so luckily not too serious just need to clean out their house and treat them for lice.
For the past two days I have a young hen I got not too long ago for laying so she just made laying age. Lately she has been unable to walk on one foot leaving her unbalanced and just a bit tired. Strangely though she also closes her right eye all the time the left is usually open. She still eats...
I also had realised what it was and now i know what to do for munch other hens, I had checked them tic see if they had fly strike too but luckily they hadn’t. Though I still want to clean their house and maybe put garlic in their water to be safe.
I found my chicken today with a very soiled/pooey bottom today and when I took a closer look I saw so many worms just wriggling about on her butt. Immediately I dusted pestine and some fell off then I gently brushed off the worm and soaked her bottom in some insect poison which I used to use for...
I have just looked it feels a bit hard still and nothing underneath however there is something sort of like a scab above it seen in the photo.
Also how do you check For lesions?
This is a photo of the swollen one though it cannot be seen in the photo it is sort of blue on the bottom too. She seems to be eating and drinking normal however a little bit more tired than usual but she normally isn’t very active.
I have a mixed breed chicken that is roughly 7 years old now and seem to have the bottom of her ear lob swollen when I felt it it was hard but it looked sort of like a teardrop shape so only the bottom was swollen. I noticed it today and will post an image in the morning. In case it is relevant...
my chicken has had a respiratory infection a few weeks ago and It hasn't completely recovered I suspect as she opens her beak less now however when she eats and in the morning she starts violently coughing until she turns blue and cannot stand properly. I have felt a hard lumpy bump above her...
My experience was that I tried limiting light in early morning to trick their inner clock as I read but that didn’t work and I tired a collar and it quieted the sound however he choked on bulky foods and I had to take it off. Eventually I just rehomed him because I was uncertain about if he...
She did seem to have trouble breathing when I pick her up but I wiped her eye with a tissue wet with saline solution and it looks like it has gotten better
I have noticed that my chicken's eye is half-closed so I kept looking and saw that her eyelid looked flat or swollen and the eye was teary. I will attach a photo below. She is acting and behaving normally, over here it is warm weather and I've just begun to put electrolytes in their water on hot...
