(Will be linking video in a reply.) This is the second time this month she’s wheezed like this, the first time it happened I gave tylan and it went away the next day. She doesn’t seem to be in emotional distress and the calmer she is, the quieter it gets. No visible physical obstruction in her...

My little disabled silkie Squirt has laid two eggs in two days and seems to be working on a third. She’s always been a two-egg-a-week type of gal and has never laid three days in a row. Is she laying too much? I know it may just be the fact that it’s springtime but we lost a girl from...

Backstory: I'm out of town (driving distance, not a flight) and went to a friend of a friend's house today. Big yard, donkeys, goats, lots of chickens. There were three silkies there, two hens and a roo. They were in a pretty small coop- no real indoor hosting space, only a nesting box, and...

Hi all, my chicken Jojo fell off of my dad's lap yesterday and landed on her back. She just turned a year old. This morning she's not moving much, not eating and generally acting like she feels badly. She also closes her eyes and flinches when it's bright. we think it's a concussion. We're...

One of my chickens, a human-raised indoor chicken, just will not drink water. I’ve tried multiple different waterers, syringes, everything. She just won’t drink and is showing signs of dehydration. I think she just never learned to, being human raised and all. Is unflavored gelatin a...

hen or roo? 4 month old runt with spraddle leg. its head feathers are trimmed so they’re not their natural shape at the moment.

Do indoor chickens need a specific arrangement to sleep? It’s the middle of the night, I heard a noise and checked my camera and my chicken is wide awake. It may be due to her balance issues because she has splayed legs- she may have to stay awake to stay comfortable. Should I build her some...

Not sure if this is the right subforum for this, but does anyone know of any vets in the Houston area that do vent sexing and caponizing?

my silkie chicken has curled toes and as a result walks on some of her foot feather follicles. was looking at her foot this morning, noticed a little fuzz that seemed out of place and pulled on it with tweezers and this monstrosity came out. is this how deep quills go? the bristly part at the...

Let me know if this isn't the best forum for this question since he isn't real, but I was curious- what breed is Hei Hei from Moana? 😅

i live in houston and i have a month-old runt chick with spraddle leg. she stands about 3.5 inches. the four healthy chicks she grew up with are going to live outside soon but squirt can’t walk in grass so she’ll have to live indoors. is anyone selling a chick that’s disabled/special needs in...

one of my bantam silkie chicks is about two weeks old and has splay leg. got her at 2 days old and immediately started on hobbles and hand feeding. took her to the vet and they said the prognosis was iffy. she cries almost constantly and i’m afraid i’m only prolonging her suffering by trying to...
