    Adult silkie with splay leg

    My little black silkie hen has splay leg. IDK how she got it, since I got her as an adult, but she seems to have trouble walking. Can splay leg be treated when they're adults? Would binding the legs together help? She can walk on her own, but she seems to have a lot of trouble. For the most...

    Possible water belly

    I think one of my old English game bantams has the beginning stages of water belly. Her abdomen looks slightly swollen and feels like it's got water inside. Her cloaca looks bigger than it should. She's acting fine. She's eating and drinking normally, isn't showing any signs of respiratory...

    Silkie falls over easily

    I've got a black silkie that's less than a year old who seems to be having some balancing issues. She falls over easily, but can usually get up by herself shortly afterwards. It usually happens when she's running and trips, but I've also seen her do it when she lands from a favorite perching...

    Somethings killing my ducks

    I've lost 6 ducks over the past 2 weeks. They just disappeared without a trace. There's no way they flew out bc their wings are clipped and the run has an 8 foot high fence. I also found one of my poor guineas mauled to death in the run. All of my chickens are fine so far, but I need to find...

    Chick eye infection

    One of my chicks seems to have an eye infection. It's swollen and has pus on top of the eye that I can't get, as well as pus in the eyelid which I can easily squeeze out. She doesn't have nasal discharge or foaming, and her breathing seems to be fine. I think she might have gotten something...

    Back of chickens head torn open

    I just discovered one of my young hens with a nasty gash on the back of her head. There's not enough skin to stich together. I washed it with water and applied some neosporin, but I'm not sure what else I can do for her. All of the vets are closed right now.

    What sex are my guineas

    One of my two guinea fowl has been chasing the other around alot lately. I originally thought I had two girls, but now I'm not sure if I have two males, or if one if them is being chased bc she's the only guinea hen. The one on top has one curled and one straight wattle. The other has two curled...

    Help! Escaped chicken!

    A few days ago, one of my hens got loose and has been very evasive. She's very skittish and runs off as soon as she sees me. I've tried baiting a live animal trap with chicken food to catch her, but the only thing I've caught so far is a raccoon. She still comes around the barn to look for food...

    What kind of chick is this?

    She's about a month old. When I got her a month ago, they told me she was an Easter egger. However, I recently noticed her crest, which I've never seen on a chicken before. I couldn't feel a head knot. She doesn't have ear tufts of a beard either. Any ideas what kind of chicken she could be?

    Bantam hen eye infection

    Hey, my sweet little old English game bantam hen seems to have an eye infection. It originally started in late November. I brought her in bc her eye was crusted over and she had a cold. I think it was crusted over with mucus. Anyway, she got over her cold shortly after Christmas, but her eye...

    Undiagnosed upper respiratory infection

    A couple of weeks ago, I noticed that my old English game bantam hen was sick. She had a cough, was fluffed out and mildly lethargic, and had swollen eyes. She also had one eye that was crusted over with puss. This was during a particularly cold week, so I brought her inside for treatment. She...

    Chick cant keep balance

    I recently adopted a 10 week old chick who's been showing signs of wry neck. She's been backing up with her head tucked between her legs, and doing little summersaults randomly. She also has a psle comb, but that might be bc she's had trouble eating and drinking for the last few days. Her...

    Silkie hen squawking with crooked neck

    My little silkie started acting strange last week. Whenever I feed her, she starts squawking while stretching her neck out at a crooked angle. She still eats and drinks, but repeats that odd behavior in between. When she's not eating, she tends to sit and pant like she's out of breath. I'm not...

    Keep bantams warm in below freezing temps

    Hey guys. I'm going to convert an old shed into a coop for my bantams and wanted some tips on how to make it so that they'll stay warm when the below freezing temps hit. I've got some old English game bamtams, cochin bantams, as wellbas an assortment of other ridiculously tiny chickens, so I'm...

    Chicken swelling around eyes

    Hey guys, I just noticed that my sweet little cochin bantam has some swelling around her eyes. She doesn't have any nasal discharge, and she hasn't been acting lethargic at all. She seems to be perfectly healthy, aside from the swelling around her eyes. Any ideas what could be wrong with her...

    Broody pigeon holding in poop

    Oreo, my pet pigeon, has been broody off and on since March. Almost every time I take her out of her cage to mess with her, she unleashes a nesty poop on me. Is it OK for them to be almost constantly broody? I'm honestly more worried about her holding in her poop all the time. IDK if that's good...

    Bantam chick has tremors

    I recently noticed that one of my old English game bantam chicks has tremors. She's eating and drinking, as well as running around the broader with the rest of the chicks. Apart from the shaking, she seems fine. I gave her some poultry cell and checked the others. So far, she's the only one with...

    Pet dove has lump under butt

    Hey guys, I just noticed that my pet dove has a strange lump under his butt. It's not prolapse, and there's no blood in his stool. He seems to be fine, except for fluffing out the top part of his butt and panting a little. Any ideas what could be wrong.

    Coturnix quail fighting

    I recently noticed that one of my females has been picking on my male. She was chasing him around and pecking him. I have her separated from the others for now, but I'm worried that I might have 2 males on my hands now. I currently have 1 male and 4 females housed in a ferret cage. They've been...

    One of my options cotunrix quail escaped. He's an indoor pet, so he's probably somewhere in the house, bit I haven't been able to find him yet. What can I do to help coax him out?
