Hi, everyone.
So, I went to TSC for food, and decided to get some assorted Bantam chicks. TSC had some slightly older Cornish Cross chicks mixed in, and when I went to get their water container so an employee to fill it, on of the Cronish ran up to me and I ended up falling on love with it and...
Hello all. I'm new to indoor chick raising. My other chicks were raised by hens, and my uncle had a large brooder due to incubating. Well, I went to TSC and adopted 6 chicks. 5 bantams and 1 Cornish Rock. I've browsed on here and I am guessing they're all between 10 and 16 days, give or take. (I...
So I have 6 Khaki Campbell ducks. I have 2 drakes, one of which will be rehomed soon as he's too aggressive with the hens. I'm keeping the other, which has a temperament I want. Anyway, one of the hens, she'll be 1 this July, has a drooping wing. I believe it's from Agent Orange being too rough...
It seems like I'm always in here with possibly sick birds. This one is a Dominique hen. She's about 2 or perhaps 3 years old. She's molting, with the others, so we've been giving them game bird food and tuna every other day.
She started showing symptoms of a possible illness today, which we...
I posted here earlier about my rooster, Goodnight.
The last month I've noticed now that all of my chickens are loosing weight. I have a mixed flock ranging in age from 3 years to a chick who's about 4 months old. The only one gaining any weight is the chick. The others look and act fine, but...
Hi, again. Another post about the duckling I asked about earlier. We're giving her and the other ducks the vitamins in the water. It's really hard for me to try and get her to open her beak with just myself, since my mother injured herself.
Anyway, I was asking if she might be blind. And when I...
Hello. I bought 10 ducklings from Murray McMurray Hatchery and received them July 7 of this year. When we put them in the brooder we had set up, just for them, I noticed one was sort of walking in circles and bumping into our hands and peeping at us. At that time, we just assumed that it was...
I have a frizzy rooster named Goodnight. I think he's 1 or 2 years old. The last two weeks he's seemed listless, laying in the sun and not really doing much. No one else seems to be affected, though we had a Dominique male and 2 older Dominique chicks die suddenly on us.
Goodnight's skin feels...
We have a 2 year old hen that we have been treating for a cough and wheezing with 150cc of Tylan 50 every day and we're on the 4th or 5th day, and Sav-A-Chick probiotics & electrolytes in her water.
Today we went to give her the shots, and her wattle was swollen. I've searched and none of the...
We've got a budgie that is having an issue and we're not sure what it is. Does anyone have any ideas? Here's a link to a picture I took this afternoon. According to my mom, it was worse yesterday, all wet and oozy. And she gave it a shot of Tylan.
I've got a cockateil male who's tounge is swollen, and he's not moving very well. Is he dehydrated or maybe had a stroke? My mom found him upside down on the bottom of the cage. He can't fly. We're attempting to give him pedialyte. (Sorry for mispelling, I'm on a tablet with no spell check help.)
Hi! My name is Cindy. I've been using this site about twice a week for the last year, so I finally decided to kit up. I'm in Lake Gaston, North Carolina. My great uncle runs the Lake Gaston Bird Farm and I've been volunteering over there, and so I've been using this site when a 'HELP WHAT DO?!'...
