    Horrific Bird Flu Experience Killed My Whole Flock and my Cat

    I'm a hobby farmer from British Columbia, although admittedly my parents do most of the work cause I'm a bit of a germaphobe. I live with my Mom and Dad and a back yard full of fowls near the forest, geese, ducks, muscovies, and many chickens, all free range. I was out for a month to do house...

    Swollen or fat looking belly on Muscovy, should I be concerned?

    My Muscovy hen, Biscuit, seems to have swelling around her vent and in her gut. This is in correlation with the mating season. The drakes (who are not muscovies and are a lot faster than her) have been awful to her and it’s gotten to the point where I’m questioning making a roast duck dinner...

    Why is my duckling dying?

    My ducks hatched a bunch of eggs a couple days ago and ended up with 4 little chicks, but last night one of the chicks got stuck under the coop and died of hypothermia but by some miracle, I managed to revive him using cpr. He was doing so well after this, they had a bit of a tremor but after a...

    Does anyone know where I can get button quail hatching eggs in Canada BC?

    I'm looking to buy some quail/button quail eggs but most stores I'm finding sell more than 12 eggs and my mom doesn't want any more than 5 quail. Can anyone recommend any stores or breeders in Canada, preferably in BC or at least ship to BC. I'd love to get true button quail but I've heard the...

    My silkies keep getting pasty butt

    I've raised baby silkies twice now and both times I've had to deal with pasty butt. Their butts are so fluffy that they accumulate poop until it blocks their vents and I have to bathe them regularly or trim their butt feathers which is difficult on a small bird and I always worry about cutting...

    Chick gasping for air and is only half conscious

    Does anyone know what's wrong with her? She's so lethargic and I don't think she's getting enough oxygen. Her chirps are scratchy and shrill when she does get knocked out of her gasping, dizzy state, usually only ever because she got scared or excited.

    Bald spot on chicks crop

    My 3 day old chick has a bald spot on their crop. I've noticed that their crop looked like it was tilted a little to the right a few days ago and now it's balding, does anyone knows why this is? I was a little worried at first because the last time I saw a slight bump on the side of a baby...

    Chick with paralyzed in feet and eyelid

    One of my newly hatched chicks can't stand or open their eyes. I thought they were just premature and needed time to develop but it's been about a day since hatch and no improvement and I realized that they can't move their feet at all. I can manually move her feet and toes just fine, there...

    Newborn chick with prolapsed cloaca

    My silkie egg just hatched and she looked like she had a clump of flesh near her bottom, after a closer look I think it could be a prolapsed cloaca. This chick is the first chick I've ever hatched, I've never heard of this issue before and I'm not entirely sure what to do about it. For now I'll...

    How do I massage my chickens wry neck?

    I have a chicken with wry neck and no vitamins seem to make a dent in it. I need some information on what other types of diseases she could have and how I can treat them. I also need tips on how to massage her neck.

    Can I feed my chickens salmon berries, blackberries and huckleberries?

    I have 2 month old chickens and they really like berries but what type of berries are they allowed? I feed them huckleberries sometimes but I don't know how much I should be giving them. I have a few salmon berries/blackberries as well but I am not certain if they can safely eat them or not.

    Poor Rex and her wry neck issues

    My baby bardrock chick named rex started showing signs of wry neck at two weeks when she began to get a bit tired/off balance and had a slight hunchback. I didn't notice till she was three weeks old and one day her neck was bent like a horse shoe. Her neck wasn't so bad that she couldn't eat or...
