This partridge cochin is 8 weeks old and looks nothing like her siblings. I know some birds can be slow growing but this one is almost naked, her bum looks worse than her front. She isnt getting picked on. Is this ok or is there something I can do to help her? She doesnt seem to be in pain but I...
*Edited to add* I highly believe she has Favus based on the appearance of her skin and also her little comb is missing hair behind it. She is breathing heavily but not through her mouth. I am going to put Monistat on her twice a day but what else can I do to try and save this girl? Anything oral...

I’ve had issues with this guy since I got him...and he is my favorite. Of course!
So I tend to panic over everything with him that I wouldn’t with my other 9 chicks.
Does his breathing look fast or ok?
She/he is almost 2 weeks...are these pullet colors?
Does anyone else have favorelles? This one will not stop chirping. Since day one she is very loud, more so than all the other chicks, I can hear her from the other room even. Plenty of food, water, clean brooder, heat is perfect temp, 6...
Hi
I have a 3yr old Maran who I thought had vent gleet so I brought her in to clean her up and start treating her. I quickly realized it was much worse...I thought it was a prolapse but I am now thinking its a lash egg.

I got a silkie roo a week and a half ago and have some questions about his behavior.
When I got him he was sneezing and had a small wheeze after a bath (he was pretty dirty and had lice) so I got him on Tylan...
