    chick with injured leg - advice please

    Chick is hunched with droopy wings

    Approximately 6 week old ameraucana is standing hunched with eyes closed. Wings are droopy and she's peeping. She will rouse and scratch/peck around, but resumes her same stance. I assumed it was cocci, but this is the 4th day on Corid and she is looking worse instead of better. I just checked...

    Silkie chicks with swollen weepy eyes

    This is the second batch of chicks that I got from a local farm. The first group has no issues, but these babies are sick. It started with one and seems to be going through the lot (3 silkies and a blue copper maran). Here's the tiny silkie. She rarely even opens her eyes and I've been dripping...

    Silkie question

    Im new to this breed, and have 3 silkie chicks of different ages...I would guess they are 2-4weeks, they seem to be about a week apart in age, judging from the size. Is it normal for silkie chicks to look a little mangy? The feathers are sparse on their heads and kind of uneven across the top...

    Swollen cheek

    [/IMG] This has been here for about 3 weeks. She's eating, laying, and behaving normally. I've tried abx in the water for a week, but it has not seemed to make a difference. There is a little scabby looking place in those cheek feathers. I'm considering removing that to see if it will drain...
