I noticed this morning that my polish rooster was lethargic and had a yellow discharge from his nose. This afternoon he was moving around a bit more, but I saw that his eyes had a discharge too. His face was also a little puffy/swollen. I've given him electrolytes so far, and there's a heat lamp...
Ok, so I looked at my little silkie frizzle bantam today after noticing blood on her, and she has a hole on her side, closer to her rear. It's like the skin has been peeled off and the muscle and stuff is exposed. I don't know what to, this hasn't happened to me before. I'll try and get the...
Ok, so like a minute ago one of my about month old chicks just started like flipping out and I think he broke his neck. I took him out of the brooder and laid him down, and his mouth was foaming. I think he's dead, but I don't know for sure. What do I do now???? :'(

I got 7 guinea keets and 2 polish chicks almost a week ago. 3 of the keets are a little over a week old, and the other 4 are 1 week today. The chicks are somewhere inbetween. But one of the larger keets waddles instead of walks. S/he doesn't walk like the others. And s/he also crouches down a...
