    Hen's comb has died, and no, it is not frostbite. Could it be fungus or other ??

    Quail hatchling still curled in "egg" position. Could vitamins help????

    We had a quail chick hatch unassisted over night that curls itself back into the fetal egg position. It is dry but won't flatten out/stand, and moves itself back into this curled position. It opens it's eyes and peeps, then wiggles until it is curled up again. We're pretty new to quail but I...

    Upper beak came off cockerel (had bad dry pox). Solutions? Should we put down?!?

    This cockerel had dry pox over his upper beak, and when the scabs fell off, so did his upper beak! I think his upper beak 'died' a while ago but just now came off (it stayed small as his head and body grew). I think part of his nasal cavity is open on one side, too I had noticed his lower...

    I have a couple of chicks that appear to have fowl pox. The chicks are about a month old. They are now inside. Two of them have developed dry pox lesions in the past 3 days, but same two also are breathing heavy so I'm checking their mouths/throats for wet pox lesions. I've been daubbing...

    Lame Modern Game hen/tendon/knee?? remedies?

    Hi all, two days ago one of our Modern Game hens had a slight limp. The next morning (yesterday), I noticed it was worse so put her in a dog kennel to limit her running around since our flock free ranges. She can't really stand on it. I can't feel or see anything wrong. I kinda think it's...
