I think this is a fresh cecal, but could be wrong. It looks like fly larvae, but wondering if it could be cecal worms or something...

1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.) 3 yr old Buckeye, a little thinner 2) What is the behavior, exactly. She acts close to normal, but a bit bored and frustrated 3) How long has the bird been exhibiting symptoms? She was bit...

This is the first time I've seen foamy eyes in one of our birds, but they have had some crop issues this fall. There was more foam, but it reduced in the sun while I was getting ready to take the pictures. Her crop was a bit slow a couple mornings ago, but before that, she's been the healthiest...

I just learned that zinc oxide is toxic to chickens. http://www.poultrydvm.com/condition/zinc-toxicity One of the human calcium supplements I gave an impacted hen has zinc oxide & zinc gluconate. The total amount of zinc given this bird over the last few weeks is under 100mg. (I think it was...

After https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/easter-egger-moulting-question.1416928/ a 1.5 yr old buckeye started moulting and I found a blob of blood on a new feather shaft, so I separated her with the other one. Unfortunately, I didn't notice the sun was getting low enough to not completely...

Second time this ivory colored Easter Egger has moulted, but I think the first one was only partial, last winter. She seems to be having a harder time of it, this time, and I'm wondering if it could just be moulting, or is it more likely something else is going on, as well? Started moulting a...

Here's a couple pictures comparing yesterday's eggs with today's from the two Easter Eggers. None of them have been opened yet. They started laying again recently after at least one moulted and the days started getting longer.

Nearing 6mo old Easter Egger, started laying early (as a 5mo old) has oyster shell, cracked her beak, probably on the run wire. It seems to be doing ok, not very deep, but looks like it might be peeling a bit. I'm wondering if anyone has advice on if I should super glue it or anything else that...

30 day old Silver-laced Wyandotte, had longer tail feathers as a chick, bigger comb and wattles earlier, too. Is it a rooster? That was a bad head shot. I'll try to get another.

I treat for ascarids, sometimes, but I think this is an undigested earthworm. I saw her eat one like it, and she is not digesting well. It was curled up like a screw, and I unwound it. Anybody know how to tell better than I do? I don't want to treat unless she needs it in her condition. (She was...

6yr old Barred Rock, 6 lbs, impacted crop recovered after docusate sodium, but impacted again after trying to lay egg, but no shell felt, yet. Again seems to be recovering. Attaching images of last night's droppings. The yellow plastic background holds droppings scraped off the dropping board...

I joined 3 years ago, and started writing a new member topic, which I think my browser lost. I was dealing with a sick bird at the time, and forgot about this, so I'm late posting here. My parents have had chickens as long as I can remember. Flock size is usually under 10, currently 8...

I am wondering if there is a list of supported extensions or something for file uploads. I've tried several audio formats, which were all rejected. Maybe I should convert it to a video?

Rhode island red, about 4 years old? Bit by fox on tail. Panting, nibbling on food a bit, tooth wounds.

I've been collecting every night. A few have been on the wet side. This morning, I found this, which has a lot of light reddish stuff. It seems a lot of shedding, if it is intestinal lining, but probably not unheard of... What do you think? Could it be something else? Is it time for Corid...

Nearly 2 year old RIR. It feels like 5 lbs or more. She has ascarids. I thought the birds might have increased risk due to the snowy and wet weather, recently. A fecal test found them in another bird. I gave them some garlic water, which often makes them pass some small worms, if they are...

Nearly 2 year old poor buff orpington keeps telling me she is egg bound, but I can't find an egg. I have vaseline, but think a wash followed by another bath may be better, because it could be stuck far back, and they say to use water-based lubricant, instead. I have heard that salt should be...
