    PLEASE HELP ASAP. Quail's eyes healed over after injury?

    I recently became the temporary owner of a few quail previously kept at my school, due to closure. One of them had been getting really beaten up and his face was badly injured, so I've kept him separate since then (about a month) and he's been healing up well since then. His eyes were a little...

    Pain while pooping, stuck egg, impacted crop? Favorite hen! Help!

    I have a 3-4 year old blind Easter Egger who started looking less energetic about a week ago. She lives separated from the others, in a pretty large covered enclosure, with a nice calm old rooster. Despite being blind she's always done a good job of finding her food and water by herself (and...

    Pet Sitter Problems...

    Need to vent - hope nobody minds. We recently went for a three-day vacation, and had one of our friends who used to raise chickens take care of our flock. One of our hens was sitting on eggs, and we told them that she was broody and to leave her be. We showed them where to pick up eggs from...

    Prayers needed

    I hope I posted this in the right place. Today my favorite hen and best friend Hopie went missing. I've been searching, but haven't found any signs of her, no feathers, etc. I didn't realize she was missing until it was already dark outside. Please send prayers that she may be found... Thank...

    How long is the incubation period for an African Goose?

    Hi, We currently have a broody hen who is sitting on an African goose egg. I couldn't find how long the incubation period is for African geese, so I was wondering if anyone here knows? Also, will the development of the egg be slower if it's under a hen? Thanks!

    Detached air cell in developing egg

    Hi, Recently I candled the eggs under one of my broody hens, and discovered that one of the eggs seems to have a detached air cell (the air cell is off to one side of the egg). The eggs are from our birds, not shipped. They are at day 13 and are all developing fine. I just want to know if anyone...

    Is this a Mille Fleur D'uccle?

    Today I rescued a 3-4 month old rooster that was supposed to be a Mille Fleur D'uccle, but I am not noticing any Mille Fleur patterning. And as you can probably tell, he also has a crooked/overgrown beak... Any ideas on what color/breed he is? Thanks!

    Help, something killing my chickens! Pictures included.

    A few nights ago I saw a possum when I was going to lock up the chickens. It seemed to be doing no harm, so I didn't go after it when it ran away. The night after that, something managed to unhook the hook on the large doghouse that I had turned into a chicken coop, and killed one of my best...

    California grey bantam eye problems?

    The 2 California Grey Bantam roosters I have ever raised have had eye problems. The younger one, who passed away recently, was blind in his left eye. I assumed it was because he had gotten into a fight with another rooster, but the strange thing was that once he was already blind for a long...

    Chick hatching problem. Ideas, please!

    Yesterday I was checking on the hatching progress of the eggs under my broody hen, and I noticed that a chick was choking on this brownish-yellow liquid that was literally pouring out of the egg. There were no veins left in the membrane, so I carefully opened up the egg so that the chick could...

    Brinsea Ovascope for olive eggs?

    I was thinking about getting a Brinsea Ovascope for candling the olive-egger eggs I have put under my broody hen. I would like to ask if it is effective and worth the money in general and for candling dark or olive eggs. https://www.backyardchickens.com/products/brinsea-ovascope-egg-viewer Thanks!

    Help please! Injured baby chick!

    Today one of the broody hen's chicks got attacked by something. She has wounds under both wings, which I have sprayed with calendula spray. But my biggest concern is that one of her sides seems to be inflated with air and she makes a strange kind of popping sound when she peeps and when she...

    Are these scaly leg mites?

    I just noticed that our 1 year old rooster's legs looked strange, and I am wondering if this could be from scaly leg mites? And if it is, is there a way to treat them naturally? I hope I posted this in the right forum... Here are some photos: Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
