    Wry neck or something else?

    I have about a week-old chick with a head tilt. It will also spin in circles if it's startled. I was assuming it had wry neck and have been giving it Vit E and B Complex. So far, it's been doing really well. It doesn't seem to have any issues eating or drinking, it's very active and growing...

    Sour Crop?

    I have a 2.5 year old Easter Egger that has fluid coming from her mouth. I noticed yesterday that she was making a weird sound and was just standing there with her mouth open. I brought her inside and have been keeping an eye on her. She's very alert and acts almost normal. I felt her crop and...

    Rooster behavior with new mama hen

    I had a question about the way our rooster has been acting. We had a broody hen hatch some chicks last week. I have them separated from the rest of the flock, but they can still see them. Henry, our rooster, has always been been friendly. He has never liked to be touched, but has never tried to...

    duckling with curled foot

    Hi, I had a question about our little duckling. I was testing out a new incubator with 3 duck eggs. Only 1 developed and pipped on Sun (March 5th). Yesterday (the 8th), it still hadn't made any progress so I assumed it had died. But, when I picked up the egg, it started chirping and trying to...

    sick duck

    I have a possibly sick duck. She looks ok, but she's not eating much and just not acting right. This is probably the 3rd or 4th day that I've noticed her acting different. She's not following the other ducks around. She's spending a lot of time just laying down. I did see her attempt to forage a...

    lethargic chicken with watery poo

    I hope someone can help. I'm still pretty new to chickens. I have a Speckled Sussex that's almost 6 months old. She's been laying eggs for about 3-4 weeks now. I noticed yesterday that she kept hiding in the spot where she likes to lay eggs. I thought maybe she was trying to go broody. Then...

    Broody quail & predator questions

    I realize there are several posts about broody quail, but I do have some questions that I don't think have been asked before. Ok, I have a quail with eggs that are due to start hatching in the next day or two. We've been raising quail for a little over a year now, but this is the first time one...

    Injured wing?

    Hi everyone! I posted about a month ago about our 3 quail chicks that we hatched. They have all been doing great and growing like weeds. :) This morning, I noticed that 1 of them is holding her wing funny. I watched her stretch and she wouldn't move it much at all. I checked her out and the...

    quail chick help

    We hatched 3 quail chicks earlier this week. The last one hatched Tues afternoon. I picked him up a few mins ago and he had some fluid coming out of his mouth. He's been eating and drinking, but I also noticed that when he pooped, it was watery. His breathing also seems a bit more labored than...

    male/female by call?

    Hi! I'm a newbie when it comes to quail and I was hoping someone could help me out. Is it possible to tell the difference between male and female by the sound they make? We bought 10 straight run quail from MyShire and they're about 9-10 weeks old now. I thought we had 5 males and 5 females, but...

    How to get ordinance changed?

    Hi! I'm new here and hoping someone can help point me in the right direction. I live in north GA on an acre of land. There is farmland all around us and we can hear cows and donkeys from our porch. We've even had wild geese stop to rest in our backyard. Despite all this, our property is zoned as...
