Today we noticed one of our turkeys feet are swollen - the entirety of one and a back toe on the other. It doesn't appear to be bumblefoot from what I've seen, as the masses are squishy with no scab. He's not limping and doesn't seem lethargic or showing any other physical symptoms. I'm thinking...
We're in Maine and just had a severely cold weekend (in the negatives) and it looks like two of our roosters have problems. They both have extremely inflamed waddled and one has bugs on him(mites maybe) as well as a new neck problem. I don't know wht to do - no chicken has ever had an...
Yesterday morning at around 10 I found a chicken that passed away inside our coop. She seemed to be an almost full-grown or full-grown light Brahma chicken, but our full-grown Brahma was right next to me at the time. Later that evening I confirmed that 4 of our baby Brahmas with the same...
Alright, so we have a baby duck with a severe peck wound, which I've posted about. He's around a month-2 months old and is just starting to get his white feathers. We want to prevent infection and read up on amoxicillin for ducks. We're not sure what the correct dosage would be for him. I'd say...
I hate to have to post here again this Soon, but we’re not sure what to do. A week ago one of our ducks that is outside had two raw spots on his neck-/head area. We think since he’s not as big as the others, he might’ve gotten caught in the fence. (we got the fence last year and each hole is...
Today we noticed 3 of our ducks were wet and had spilled their water. We try to be careful giving them water because this isn't the first time this has happened. It's a series of a duck having no health issues, then she/he gets wet, has a seizure, and dies. Only 2 of the three that got wet today...
Not sure if this is the right place but it's the best I could find. We have around 20 or so chicks(around 2 months old) inside the house divided into 3 large totes but they're getting too big for them, plus we don't have any more room in the house. We also have around year old hens and roosters...
We have a house chicken named Kevin that we got in around July 2021. She's inside due to a leg injury in November, and we're not sure what caused it. 2 other birds fell ill at the same time with a limp and ended up passing. Kevin is the only one alive, and her leg issue hasn't gone away. She's...
We have a larger flock of around 30 chicks and around 3-4 of them have had something like this happen, Im starting to think there's a disease going along. Last week or so I saw one of the birds limping, so we brought her in. She was doing great, besides the limp and the occasional falling over...
We have 2 roosters named John and Greg. We also have another one named Republic who plays a small part. The other day John had to come inside for a bit due to an injured comb, pretty much just some bleeding that happens with him. We had him in a medium/large dog cage we have so he could have...
We have a beautiful egg I found in one of our cartons sitting on our counter, not sure how long it’s been there. It had a dark spot on it so i got a flashlight and shone it into the egg. Our roosters ride a lot of our chickens, and almost epnever give them a break so we wouldn’t be surprised if...
We have 3 baby chicks(we think?).. All are pretty much pure black. Black feathers that shine green, black eyes, black feet, and red and black waddles and comb.. They're extremely fast and a bit small.. Theyre around 3 or 2 months old? Their names are Happy Feet, Peep, and Ms.Peeperson (in order...
We have another chicken, whose leg is injured. Its been injured for around 2 months and the chicken is half a year old. We have had him separated from the rest of the flock ever since we noticed, and he's been inside. His leg has been getting worse recently. She used to stand with one leg...
Hello. We have a chicken who is very sick and appears to have Wryneck, but we can't identify it. She won't eat at all and only drinks the tiniest bit from a spoon. Her neck is way off to the side, and she won't open her eyes. One of her eyes had swollen up, but we got cream for that and are...
