    Broody or Egg Bound?

    I have had two khaki Campbell ducks for a bit over a year. They were previously separated from my drake and lived with my disabled drake, but he passed away in December and my remaining drake was lonely and sad so I opened up the run and they now live with him full time. One of the two khakis...

    Fox in the ‘hood

    There’s a fox in my neighborhood- I’ve heard it for weeks but it seems now it’s in my backyard/the neighbors found poop that “looked like dog poop” in their yard and heard it close by too the past few nights. I have my chickens and ducks in separate enclosed runs (chicken wire with hardware...

    Help identifying if egg bound

    Hey all, I tend to be an over reactor / jump the gunner and end up usually making things more complicated. That being said- I’m trying to step back and see how things go but wanted to run this by those maybe more experienced to see if I should be worried. All of my chickens stopped laying...

    Suspecting self injury - help with stopping it

    on New Years Eve my 1.5ish year old hen got an impacted crop. I treated it, gave her a crop bra, forgot to take it off and she basically ripped herself (and drop) open. She was stitched up at the vet and made a full recovery. She integrated back with the other hens and seemed to be doing ok...

    Exposed but intact crop

    My chicken has been through it this past week. It started with impacted crop; vet cleared a bunch of feathers and prescribed antibiotics and meloxicam post procedure. Couldn’t get it all out, so he asked me to get mineral oil and give her about 5ml, massage crop, and see if the rest cleared...

    Crop problems

    I have a big olive egger that I adopted from a friend, she was bullied. She doesn’t lay since we got her in May 2024, we suspected stress from the bullying but then remembered she had an incident of bleeding quite profusely from her vent; the friend brought her to the vet who recommended X-rays...

    Loss of companion

    I raised two jumbo pekins together (both males) who ultimately did have to be separated (but able to see and interact) due to hormones / fighting. They slept together every night. One passed away Monday. I can’t describe how sad I am, but I’ve also noticed that while we have two other...

    Pekin not eating

    Hey everyone, I have a Pekin who battles septic arthritis/chronic joint infections (this will be his 3rd). He has had such a good run infection free and moving around well, but Thursday he stopped walking and a visit to the vet and X-rays showed tendonitis in his bad leg, and a possible...

    Another limping duck

    I have a 9 month old khaki Campbell who started limping this morning. She doesn’t have any swelling, heat or anything else that is visibly wrong with her legs or feet (this is not our first rodeo, I have a jumbo Pekin who has suspected osteomyelitis) but I did notice after an epsom salt bath...

    Fatty Liver Hemorrhagic Disease

    Hey all, I inherited a pretty big lady from a friend. She was being picked on and we successfully introduced her to our flock where she’s still pretty reserved / lowest on the pecking order, but is no longer bullied. She’s an olive egger, and bigger or comparable in size to my barred rock hen...

    Weird behavior

    My khaki Campbells are both females and about 6 months old. They’ve been laying for about 2 months. Sometimes I’ll find an egg in the middle of the run during the day but usually they lay at night/early morning sometime in their house, which is closed during the day. Right before bed time one...

    Bloody Pin Feather

    My jumbo Pekin is going through a hard molt. He has big blood filled pin feathers on both wings. He’s also disabled and will sometimes use a wing to catch himself if he stumbles while walking. I was away from home today and at some point he must have injured one of the pin feathers because it...

    Duck is limping

    I don’t see bumblefoot. What I do feel is maybe a swollen toe joint. It happened between 8-9am yesterday, I deduced, by camera - we had a pet sitter that’s familiar with the ducks over this weekend as we were away. The girls came out of their house and walked / ran around the run fine, and...

    Hens stopped laying

    My chickens were on antibiotics for 10 days for GI infection. They’ve been off since Sunday (today is Wednesday), and were laying pretty consistently for the duration of their treatment but now all but 1 of them has stopped, for the past 3 days. Is this normal? Expected to be throwing them...

    Internal layer

    I inherited a ~1.5 year old hen from a friend, that was being bullied severely and was separated from the flock. Reintroductions didn’t work, so we took her in and after a rough couple of weeks she’s integrated well now. During the bullying, she stopped laying eggs. Her prior owner believed...

    Chlorhexidine ingested

    Yall, I am going through it. With the sudden death of a chicken this week and rain non-stop for essentially, two weeks but constant downpour for the last 4 consecutive days. All FOUR of my ducks now have bumblefoot. Despite my best efforts, their sand run has been damp for the entire week...

    Sudden death

    Good evening, One of my hens (1.5 years old) suddenly died today. She was fine, except that she and several others are missing feathers that we didn’t see a cause for (mites, lice, etc). She did have the most missing feathers of all of them, but she was laying up until the time she passed...

    Prolapsed phallus

    Me again with a never ending issue with Stan the disabled Pekin! His penis came out and stayed out. It happened once and went in on its own after about 10/15 min. Today it was an hour so I had to take matters into my own hands. You should have seen the door dash order- KY jelly, saline...

    Foamy eye

    I posted about my dude Stan back in the fall/winter, he was wheezing and had a foamy eye. To be honest, not sure if the two were related but both resolved and he’s been great. Actually, he’s been really great lately despite a bad leg and going through it in the winter- he lost almost all his...

    New chicken- not ideal situation

    Need some help (or a therapist idk). A friend had a chicken that was being bullied so badly she was bleeding and injured. She separated her from the flock and she was so stressed she stopped laying. She tried to reintroduce her a few times and it was unsuccessful so she rehomed her to me-...
