    Stroke?

    I went to check on the girls and Priscilla (standard Polish) jumped up onto the roost pole. Mille (D'Uccle) was standing directly under where Pris jumped. I heard Mille squawk and saw her hunkered down. Her head started twitching and I took her out of the coop. She had a seizure and went limp. I...

    What's wrong with Paddles?!

    My Muscovy hen just laid/pooped this. She just started laying a few months ago and at first the eggs were fine, but then she started laying jelly eggs. She stopped laying and now this has happened. She gets layena and cracked corn along with oyster shell. Update: She just passed this

    Looking for a pet

    Hi! I am looking for a pet pigeon or dove. I live in north Mississippi, and would like to find one close to me so it doesn't have to be shipped. I've checked our local shelters and they do not have any.

    Underweight pekin

    Nibbles is two years old and gets free choice Layena and cracked corn along with scraps. He was wormed in January. He's always been a small boy, but 7 lbs worries me. Anything I can do to help him gain?

    Bumblefoot MADNESS!!

    I feel like I'm going crazy here. Nibbles' bumblefoot has started acting up again. Does anyone know of a way to help keep chronic bumblefoot away? He's been on baytril so much I'm afraid it's not helping anymore. He's currently getting his feet soaked in Epsom salt, de-colorized iodine put on...

    Jelly eggs

    My Muscovy hen, Paddles, started laying on Feb the 10th. The last four eggs she's laid have been jelly eggs. She seems fine, eating, drinking, and doing her thing. She gets Layena (and sometimes the cats' food) along with free choice oyster shell. I read that a D3 deficiency can cause it but...

    She's dying and I don't know what to do

    My little Clover has taken a turn for the worst. She's having seizures and I'm pretty sure her organs are shutting down as she has not used the bathroom in over 24 hrs. What can I do to make her more comfortable or end her suffering? I was going to have her put down this morning but I realized...

    Weight loss, diarrhea, lethargy

    4 year old Cochin batam, Clover, is very sick. She had an upper respiratory infection and the antibiotic gave her diarrhea. She lost a considerable amount of weight and I began giving her scrambled eggs in the mornings to try to help her gain it back. She continued to act lethargic and didn't...

    Blood on outside of egg

    My EE, Bitzi, has been "on strike" for a while now, but this morning I found one of her eggs and it has quite a bit of blood on the outside. I caught her (much to the displeasure of her sisters) and checked her over, finding nothing abnormal. Is this just because she hasn't been laying or do I...

    What bird makes the best pet?

    I had a cockatiel for seven years before she sadly passed away due to complications after having her foot amputated on a supposedly "bird safe toy". I said I wouldn't get another bird after the pain of losing my Wavy, but it's been four years and I miss having a little birdie to chirp and...

    To clip, or not to clip.

    My Muscovy, Quacks, free ranges in the daytime with the chickens and I often see (or hear) her flying over when I call them up. My neighbor just got a pool and she's been scoping it out for a few days now, and I'm afraid she'll go for her morning bath in there instead of her pool. Should I have...

    HELP!! My cat brought a baby bird home!

    I've checked it over fairly throughly and it seems to only have a scrape near its vent and its wing is pretty messed up, can't tell if it's broken. I think she got it for her kittens. (They didn't get their canned food today, only dry.) She actually called them over before she dropped it. It's...

    Duck foamy eye

    My Nibbles had foam in his eye this morning! I washed it out with saline but I know he needs something else on it. Can I treat foamy eye with Tri-otic, gentamicin, neomycin, atropine, predisolone, or tobramycin? If not what do I need to get for him?

    Madam indecisive needs opinions

    I have a mixed flock containing two Cochins, a EE, a D'Uccle, a Silkie, a Game, and two ducks who think they're chickens. The game has been bullying my EE to the point that she's missing feathers on her head, and she attacked the smallest Cochin and left a two inch gash on the back of her head...

    HELP!! Hen injured! WARNING: graphic pics!!

    Clover was being reintroduced to the flock after an extended illness and has been severely injured. The cut is around an inch to an inch and a half long and pretty deep. Anything I've learned over the years about wound treatment has flown out the window. ANY advice is appreciated!

    Eye swelled shut/possibly pecked out

    My bantam cochin, Clover, is having some eye troubles. She was perfectly fine yesterday, is there anyway a eye infection could come on so fast? Did one of the others do this? Should I try to get the eye open? It appears to be stuck closed with blood or maybe puss.. She's in the bathroom with...

    Floppy comb?

    Game pullet Rowan's comb has gotten rather large and recently flopped over. I've heard this is a sign of them being unhappy, any thoughts? Could this be because my Cochin has buddied up with Rowan's duck friend Quacks? I'll post pics when she goes to roost.
