    Hello, all! Posting for a friend. After watching a lightweight Ameraucana land roughly off of a roost one morning my friend noticed her lying down a lot and holding up one foot, then noticed her lil feet were swollen, bilaterally but one slightly more than the other. I dropped by and checked...

    Poult with damaged leg/hip, Help please?!?

    Hello! This is my first time posting on the turkey forum because I'm a first-time turkey owner. :) I'm experienced with helping chickens heal a variety of ailments and my neighbor knows this, so when he had a 3-day-old turkey poult who was in extremely rough shape and hadn't eaten or drunk in 3...

    Turkey poult went splayed leg, but not improving

    Hello! Unfortunately the video I made is not supported but it gives more information. Turkey people, long story short, this little one had a whole lot going on when it came into my care but the dramatic splayed legs after a week in a hobble was greatly improved! Then after about 3 days of...

    Hatching help please?? ♥️ I'm in for a long night...

    Last update: they ALL did it!!! 🥹🥰 Update: Three have hatched, thank goodness. Humidity skyrocketed to 90%! I used a pipe cleaner through the vents to clean the condensation off the lid and cracked the lid a few seconds at a time to release water so the remaining chicks in shell can breathe...

    Help appreciated: Coccidiosis in 1-year-old hen with salpingitis?

    Hi, all. I have had so many health issues with my flock lately and I'm very disappointed, but at the moment I have a hen going down hard. I found a lash egg the other day so I purchased antibiotics but I lingered because she was holding steady and in yesterday's heat she went down hard. But now...

    Dosage for wormer in 2-week-old chicks??

    Sorry if this is old hat, but I've looked around and I'm not quite sure if I can give fenbendazole paste to a chick. Got visible worms in slightly bloody stool and I want to get on this ASAP for her. All I've got on hand is the equine paste and tomorrow is a holiday. Dosage is a "pea-sized...

    Pullet wing ripped off but so far okay, any suggestions?

    Hello! Asking for a friend who is not on BYC. ;) At least 3 weeks ago now he moved his pullets from the garage to an outside chick run and discovered one chick had a bald side. After he investigated he discovered she had a bloody nub with about half an inch of bone exposed due to a night where...

    Update: did not make it - Thought egg was dead, opened and it's alive, any chance??

    I know, I should have known better and I feel completely horrible, but I'm asking for help anyway. Day 23 and I know eggs can go even longer but there is zero sign of movement at any point, large air sac with no pip, and everybody else finished hatching over 24 hours ago. I had kept it in the...

    I know guys, yet another question on the NR. ;) Sorry, but I think I looked over every other thread and I'm a first-time incubator and just candled my eggs on day 9 and there's clearly development but I'm worried about temp and humidity. I got some Govee thermometer/hygrometers, this kind...

    Lethargic hatchery chick won't eat, advice appreciated!

    Hello all! My chicks came in the mail yesterday in record time and 18 were healthy and one was wobbly on her feet and wouldn't eat or drink. I thought it might be shock but even though she's capable of moving she favors one side, and mostly stays under the light. The only thing she has...

    Mama hen accidently stepping on chicks, yikes

    Hello! I am a first-time hatcher of chicks beneath a hen and it is wonderful. She did an amazing job setting (7 out of 8 first try!), is a dedicated mama even though she's just under a year old, my only issue seems to be that she's fairly high strung and while she's gentle and attentive as can...

    Celebrating my First Home Hatch! <3

    Hello! I dreamed of owning chickens for several years, then 13 years ago I got my first flock and dreamed of breeding but did not live in a place zoned for roosters. So I moved. :D Last year I had a dedicated broody but the conditions were not quite right for her and the eggs did not make it to...

    Baby chick shock, neurological damage?? Suggestions appreciated!

    Hello again so soon, I arrived at a client's house today to find him stooped over his 3-week-old pullet. She had gotten stuck under a feeder for several hours (God knows how), and I offered to take her home with me since he did not have a "sick bay" and I did. I was concerned something more...

    Hello all, I've got an 11-month-old Blue Andalusian pullet who is suddenly trying not to die. Found her in the nesting box at bedtime count with a purplish comb and droopy wings. When I brought her in just now albumen squirted out of her, and this morning someone had dropped a yolk from the...

    Not emergency - What is this inside my hen's comb??

    Hello! About a year ago (I know, I feel bad 😬) one of my lower pecking order hens got a little pecked on the comb, just normal fussing, and she had a couple of small scabs, but then the next time she got pecked the scab didn't go away, just a whitish gray thing, then I noticed over the months...

    No symptoms other than deadly sounding breathing in pullet, gapeworm?

    Hello! I've been looking and looking on here over the last few days refreshing myself on everything that can go wrong respiratory-wise, but all I can come up with is gapeworm. I'm hoping someone with experience in this can give me some clarification! Seven-month-old mixed breed pullet, adopted...

    Changed question to: End stage liver disease?

    Hello! My beloved bird is old, I know she's likely not going to make it anyway. But I thought I'd put this out there for the information for the future. Got an Easter Egger who just turned 11 and she's been ailing for a month or so now with yellow urates that have now turned more of a green...

    Mycoplasma question, but not emergency yet

    Hi, everyone. So I made a big mistake and bought eight-week-old pullets from a guy a few miles down the road last year, and then noticed my three-year-old barred rock started laying weak and funny-shaped eggs, and now ten months later my 10-year-old Ameraucana has labored breathing and is...
