I just assisted hatched a baby and she has a gash on her head and what appears to be wry neck. I’ve dealt with bad wry neck before for about 3 months with another bird who recovered and is great now but never one that is this young. Do we think the wry neck is from the head trauma? If so what...
Hey I went out and found my girl limping. She is still eating and drinking and goes up to roost at night. Sits on ground on upper level. The upper level is accessed by a ladder so part of me thinks she miss stepped. A video is below. Some one help me figure what’s wrong. It is not bumblefoot. I...
Hey I have bantam Cochins and one is much smaller than the rest. I would say they are 3 weeks? What can I do to improve growth. I’ve had them on vitamins for a week now and hand feed her a vitamin E pill every day
I really want to hatch a frizzle, I currently have Cochins, silkies, and barred rocks. If I breed a barred rock roo x silkie hen will it produce a frizzle?
So my 16 week old was lethargic yesterday, dropped wings, lethargic. We think it was from the heat. Today we found her layed out and not in good shape. We brought her in and but her under a fan. She has perked up but has stopped eating and won’t drink. My mom gave her water down her throat and...
I have 1 18 week old, 1 16 week old, 4 13 week old, 1 11 week old and 2 5 week olds..... what do I do when the 18 week old and 16 week old start laying and they need layer feed? Because I have babies do I just keep them all on starter and grower?
So first question what is the best brand of starter and grower to get? I used dumor but they aren’t producing starter and grower any more.
Next: Is it ok to mix brands of feed? Like I have a locally packaged starter and grower that I’m trying to finish up and then I’m also using Naturewise in...

My legbar started acting lethargic yesterday. It’s almost like she goes into sleep spells. She was super hot yesterday and had her wings hanging but I put her in with a fan and she is now not hot. I have electrolytes in her water and rooster booster on her food. She still is acting very...
For safety reasons I want to test a new bird that my friend got and we want to make sure that she is salmonella free since the other birds have recently been tested. I have a bottle of antigen but expired and was wondering if it would react?
Thoughts?
Her diet contains egg and crumble. She’s not a big eater at all and sometimes doesn’t want to eat at all. The poop is watery but I’m wondering if that if the heat. It is 95 degrees. I do not know why it’s green and watery. Some poops are more solid but there are more watery green poops. Should I...
So my Cochin developed Wry neck at 3 weeks. She got better by week 6 but is not eatting like she should. Btw she was emaciated when she was sick so we fed her on a feeding schedule. She is VERY picky and won’t eat like normal birds. She seems to only like egg and sometimes her crumble. NOW she...
