    Pullet injured by cockerel and is now stargarzing

    One of our 5 month old pullets is stargazing and unable to walk, she just flops around. I am certain it was one of my cockerels as he has been going after the girls very aggressively for a while now. I don't know what to do to help her. I have vitamins and selenium and will give her a dose in...

    Bumblefoot or something else?

    I have a hen whose foot pad is swollen along with the webbing between her toes. We soaked her foot, drained pus from between her middle and right toe, and applied antibiotic cream. I can't feel anything other that the swelling and there are no scabs other than from the small incision we made...

    We had a chick hatch 2 days ago with an extremely small vent which we had a very difficult time finding and no tail that we can seem to find.

    Chick due date but egg looks odd when candled

    I have 2 eggs that were set to hatch today. The first chick has externally pipped but the 2nd egg looks very odd. It hasn't looked right for the past 4-5 days or so and I thought that the embryo had died but I finally saw it move tonight and definitely heard it chirping. The air cell has...

    Chick hatched with one cloudy eye

    Two days ago I had a chick hatch with a cloudy eye, it looks like a cataract....? Sorry I'm not able to get a picture of the eye. I'm not sure the chick can see in that eye either. He/she is only in with 3 other chicks and they don't treat her any differently. Any one ever have this happen...

    Blue and Black Orpington Cockerels

    My hatches this spring consisted of mostly cockerels and as I can only keep one or two I must re-home the rest. I would ideally like to find homes where they will have their own ladies to watch over and not go in the pot. I am located in Frewsburg, NY so please check distance before replying...

    Cause of early embryo death???

    I am finally getting a majority of fertile eggs from my pullets but now every fertile that I have set is dying early. I just checked the last set and all the fertiles looked scrambled with minimal veining upon candling and when I cracked some of the eggs open the embryos appeared to be at about...

    Looking for Blue Orpingtons

    We are looking for a few blue orpingtons. We prefer the english type but are open to any quality birds. We would prefer started and sexed birds but would take chicks, in which case we would need more than just a few. My daughter will be using them for her 4H project so they already need to be...

    Gosling can't walk

    I have a 6 day old gosling that had/has spraddle leg. He was hobbled which did help but I believe there are other things going on as well. He can't seem to balance himself, his head bobbles from side to side, he refuses to walk, only runs on his toes, when he tries to run he runs with his head...

    Setting 14 day old eggs

    I ordered eggs to hatch out and for some reason they were 12 days in transit thanks to the wonderful USPS. When I got the call that they finally had arrived I immediately set up the incubator, got it up to temp, adjusted the humidity and set them in. I had expected them 9-10 days earlier and...
