    Eyelid infection?

    Hello everyone! Today I noticed our Speckled Sussex had a white looking eye. I'm not sure how to describe it, so please see picture below. No pus, but looks like the inner eyelid is injured or infected. Adding a video soon. Is there anything I can do to help with this?

    The happiest chicken

    Wanted to post a little joy here. Meet Derp. He is the happiest chicken. Long story short, we ordered some Freedom Rangers from our local chick shop (meat intention) and after getting them in the brooder, I didn't think this one was going to make it. I noticed the crossed beak right away...

Ruth was rehomed to us by a family who didn't want their birds anymore, so sadly we don't know her age or vaccination status. There's only one place...

No idea what her age or breed is...

    Lethargic chicken

    Last year, we had a golden sexlink that became very lethargic suddenly. She went from happy and healthy to pushing her head against the coop wall and being non responsive. As it was winter, we brought her inside and she perked right up. We acclimated her back outside with the flock and found she...

    Surprise! Lisa is a boy. Now what?

    We started our first flock this year with 6 golden sexlink hens, and 2 Ancona ducks. One duck had a raspy quack, but was healthy. Seemed like a female whimper. The ducks are almost 4 mos old now, and the raspy duck, Lisa, now has curled tail feather, which we were told is a dead give away that...

    Ancona duck wheezing?

    Hello there friends, We have two Ancona ducks a little over two months old. Both seem very happy and healthy, minus the fact that one seems to wheeze rather than quack. And she seems to be wheezing more often now. Doesn't appear to have any blockages, no runny eyes or nose, and not overweight...
