Went out this morning and saw my roosters face was swollen on one side and under his beak. Any ideas what this could be or how to treat? There's no cuts or anything like an injury. Any help is greatly appreciated!
I was just wondering if anyone knew what these chicks color looks like? My peahens are all india blue, but males that they could possibly be from are india blue, black shoulder, india blue silver pied. A couple have white on their flight feathers, others are more brown flight feathers, but they...
I just bought a couple new geese over the weekend and they had previously been free range, but since they are new to our place I have them in a pen for a week or two until they get used to their new home before I turn them out. The problem I am having, and maybe I'm just a little overly worried...
So I went this morning to do my daily check on our chickens and I had a young pullet laying down in the corner of the chicken run. She was not moving and when I picked her up I noticed that her eye is slightly swollen with some dried blood on it making it so she cannot open it and there was a...

Hi there! So I have a peahen who for the past couple weeks has had droopy wings and closing her eyes off and on throughout the day. I thought maybe she was getting ready to lay an egg soon, but still has not. Today I checked her bottom to see if she was possibly egg bound. The first thing I...
Today we noticed my daughter's 2 year black shouldered peacock wheezing, a coughing sound like he's trying to clear his throat and gasping for air. Also he occasionally shakes his head. He was treated with topical ivermectin for cattle wormer on april 23, so would/could it be gapeworms or is...
The other day we had a particularly warm day, rain moved in and yesterday was much colder. This is why I thought yesterday my tom turkey had his feathers ruffled up and wasn't as active after the sudden change in weather. Well today he isnt breathing hardly and is turning purple in the...
So I have this peababy that is 3 weeks old and I cannot determine the color. The two hens that I have are cameo and a blue. Ive only seen my male blue mating with the hens but I do have other males. I think its coloring is too light to be a blue so maybe a cameo? Thanks for any help on the...
My 1 year old hen start gasping for air for the last couple days that ive noticed. This morning her comb was a little darker red and looking a little purple towards the back of it and her breathing seems a little worse. No nasal drainage or bubbles in her eyes so I'm not sure what to do. She...
My hen has half of her face really swollen. The other side is completely fine so I'm not sure what to do here. She is separated from the flock and I gave her some benadryl, but any ideas on how to treat her? She is eating and drinking and acting normal otherwise. Please help!!
So I went to do my evening walk around and found one of my pullets with a slightly swollen face and wattles. I checked and did not see any obvious mites or ticks and as of now no nasal discharge or trouble breathing. I have not changed anything in their diet either. Any ideas on what this...
I have been treating for a respiratory infection and I'm using a respiratory soluable powder that has a combination of Sulfamethoxypyridezine, Trimethoprim, Bromhexine, Hydrochlonide, Tylosin, Tetracycline Hydrochloride and Sodium phenylbutazone, but I was told I may need to also treat for a...
I went to check the humidity in my Hatcher and noticed on the bottom of one of the peachick eggs looked like there was an external pip but there was something on it. I gently moved it a bit and saw what looks like dried up yolk on that had leaked out. I candled it really quick and there was...

So my peachick hatched just a few minutes ago and it has blood and looks like maybe some yolk hanging out. The inside of the shell has some blood in it, not sure what to do so any help would be very much appreciated!
I just got two new peachicks and the hatchery is not sure what kind of peachicks they are, but I was hoping maybe someone here may know. They mark them with orange on the heads, so please don't be alarmed by the spot. The peafowl colors the hatchery has are: India Blue Peafowl, Purple Peafowl...
I have a chicken that I noticed was off by herself in the corner of the coop. I picked her up and noticed one of her eyes looks kind of milky. I don't know if this is an infection, injury, or possible parasite. I've included a picture and would greatly appreciate any advice on what it could...
I have also posted this in the peafowl forum, but wanted to post it a couple different places, because I'm not sure if she is egg bound or if it's just normal broody behavior and wanted to better my chances of getting a quick response. My peahens wings look just like this (pic from a previous...
My peahens wings look just like this (pic from a previous forum, not my actual peahen) She laid an egg on the 12th and 14th and nothing since(today is the 18th). The drooping wings started today and she seems to be pecking around at food and walking around so I'm just wondering if and when I...
