I noticed my rooster's eye has a white mass. We have other roosters and thought he had lost it but it's still there but there is some sort of white mass.
Any ideas what this might be and how to treat?
Thank you.
This past Sunday we noticed one of our Rhode Island Reds was not moving from her perch. She had a seriously poopy butt and a swollen squishy belly and green diarrhea.

Hi all,
One of my silky roosters has not been doing well. His breathing is gurgly and had a white mucus in his mouth which smelled really bad.

After doing this twice, I thought she would get over it, but she's back at it for the third time.
