    Potential blockage in nares.

    This is Bernadette. She is a 4 year old Brahma hen. About 2 years ago, she had a respiratory infection that caused pus to collect in her right nare. I was able to get a large chunk of it out, but ever since then I have felt like there was more. For the past year or so, that same nare has been...

    Frostbitten Toe Healed Over but Still Hurting

    I have a Brahma hen who got frostbite on her toes this past December (2022). I have had her in my guest room since then while she's been healing. Amazingly, only 2 of her toe tips have come off and the rest are fine. One of the toes has healed up with no issue, but the other one was a little...

    Hen is missing a LOT of feathers but didn't molt. Can I do anything?

    I received a Lavender Orpington hen late this summer from an acquaintance of mine. She had warned me the hen was not in the best feather shape because the rooster she had been with was quite overzealous. Ok...I have saddles, feathers grow back...etc. Well, it's now winter in Wisconsin and this...

    Broody BBW Hen keeps crushing her eggs T.T

    Hello! I have a yearling BBW hen who is intent upon hatching her eggs. Let's put aside all the "what if's" in this instance regarding whether or not these eggs are actually fertile... The current problem is that she's a broad-breasted breed, so she keeps squishing her eggs when she's trying to...

    Please help! Is this a prolapsed vent?

    This poult unfortunately came down with vent gleet quite young. I finished treating that about a month ago, but her vent has kept needing constant applications of vaseline or neosporin otherwise it gets crusty/scabby. I realized I don't know what a "healthy" vent is supposed to look...

    I don't think it's a bumble, but I need more opinions.

    Hello all. This foot actually belongs to a nearly-2-month-old turkey. I've named her Goose. Anyway, about 1 or 1 1/2 weeks ago I was soaking her bum for vent gleet. As I was drying her off I found this: My very first thought was that it was bumblefoot. But it wasn't a scab and upon further...

    Swollen Hock...not Slipped Tendon?

    I have a 4-5 week old Ameraucana chick...she had been stuck in with meat chicks for a week when she was fresh from the hatchery. When I got her out she didn't want to use her left leg. I had suspected a slipped tendon but I could never tell for sure. I gave B12 and she perked up a lot over the...
