    Jaw Abscess on Rabbit

    I noticed a small gumball sized bump on my bunny’s lower jaw in May. Took him to the vet, they said it was an abscess. Scheduled surgery - about a month and a half between noticing it and getting him into surgery (only exotic vet nearby and that first appt was a good month wait). They did a CT...

    Angel Wing?

    This is my one month old Duck, Cheese. Not sure what breed - I hatched him (not confirmed yet) from a farm egg on a whim so I don’t know what breed. I have chickens so why not some ducks? 🤪 He’s about 3.6 lbs - grew really fast. The other duck I hatched is a different breed but her pin feathers...

    Hmong Babies

    I’ve brooded six bunches of chicks - far from an expert - but my sixth group is three Hmong that I hatched. They are not down with brooder life and are obsessed with me. They’re in an XL soft sided dog crate and god forbid if they don’t get out to run around the sunroom 3x a day, using me as a...

    Duck or Drake?

    Four weeks old, not sure what breed but maybe a Pekin. Went from tiny duckling to the size of a hen in one month. I have another one chirping in the background so watch the bill move for sound. 🫠

    OE Chick

    Four weeks old - OE dad, RIR mom. Any guesses? Looks like a little cockerel to me (and he lives with ducklings so his feathers are messy).

    What am I?

    Hatched from a farm fresh egg - could be a mix unless she (or he) has any obvious markings of a certain breed? They don’t live in the Omlet - what they’re standing on is a chick pen and they were visiting before going to the pool.

    EE - Pullet?

    I’m 0-1 so here’s another. Six week old EE. The feather variation is, well, really varied. Pullet, cockerel, or too young to tell?

    OE Gender

    Bought as a sexed pullet from Meyer - all of a sudden, the comb popped. Other than the comb, anything scream cockerel? Five weeks old.

    Struggling to breathe

    I noticed my girl Pepper open-mouth breathing this evening when I let the flock out for yard time. I give them access to grass when I’m with them in the evening. Brought her in, gave her water, looked down her beak (nothing in the throat or mouth), and gave her a subq shot of Tylan 50. Note -...

    Niacin Deficiency

    This is my first time with ducks (chickens were my gateway drug). I’ve been feeding my ducks gosling starter with brewer’s yeast since hatching but my bigger duck walks hitchy and her toes turn in. I started supplementing with Durvet B (the IM but give it orally) two days ago. Where can I...

    Sticky Chicks

    I’ve hatched a few eggs before this time, two ducks (set two, both hatched), and a chicken - (set one, one hatched). They all went off without a hitch. Duck eggs were from a local farm for eating and I decided to try it; chicken egg was from my neighbor with a roo…all fairly local / no shipping...

    Wild Chicks

    This is my third time hatching so I’m still quite new. I have three of four Hmong chicks hatched - all three about six hours ago. They are all up and just being wild in the incubator. Like, running around. The past two times, the chicks were active but slept more than walked around. This batch...

    EE Pullet or Cockerel

    I bought this one as a sexed female from a hatchery and its feathers are coming in different from the three others. Dare I ask if it has any telltale signs of either sex? They’re only about three and a half weeks old.

    Breed?

    I hatched two ducklings from a farm whose eggs I bought for baking. Any ideas on breed?

    Mareks Vaccine

    I’m curious if anyone has done their homework on the Mareks vaccine, and if so, could you point me in the direction of independent testing/trials? Not looking for anecdotal evidence, or even studies put out by manufacturers. Independent and without conflict. I want to make an informed decision...

    Crop Emptying Options

    I have another post with details on how we got here, but what are my options to provide relief for a hen whose crop is not emptying? It’s pretty big, she had it flushed at the vet yesterday and it filled right up overnight again. Vet is closed. Meds aren’t doing anything to immediately fix...

    Sick Bird with Crop Issues

    I have a flock of 13. Started with 15, lost one to a predator (my fault) and one to a tumor of some sort (vet confirmed via X-ray, eventually had to put her down, did not do necropsy). Three and a half years of chicken keeping. All but four are from Meyer, all Mareks V. Other four came from...

    What Breed?

    What breed is this roo? Clean (no feathers), dark legs - the rest is pretty visible. Wheaton Marans look to have feathered light legs. ISA brown look to have light. We’re taking care of our neighbors’ chickens and they’re overseas. Worst case, we can ask in another week when they’re back but my...

    Thin poop

    I have found a few of these really long, thin poops on the poop board lately. Wondering if one of my girls has something wrong like when a human has colon cancer and their stool is really thin. Nobody is acting off - they’re on layer feed, free choice calcium, nobody is laying right now and...
