    Quail egg rescue question!!!

    I have two celedon quail that pipped at the opposite end of their egg. One pipped Friday day 16, and today is Sunday haven’t seen any progress. Another pipped yesterday, and I can see movement, but she’s not progressing at all, she may be stuck? I have an NR 360… many have hatched already with...

    Rooster tail feathers broken?

    Hello, I have a two-year-old Cemani boy, who is experiencing really bad broken tail feathers. No one else has them. I’ve checked and treated for any and all kind of mites but we don’t see anything. We’ve done electorPSP, ivermectin and permethrin. I also deworm them earlier this spring. He...

    Slipped Tendon/Leg deformity HELP

    Hello, So I hatched a group of eight eggs from backyard chickens (Marans and RIR). They have Mareks and ALV, a milder virulence, and I was hoping to see if we could gain some immunity in the subsequent generation. Everyone hatched okay March 11, with the exception of one prolapse, and two with...

    Mareks/ALV hock joint tumor

    Hello, Long story short, a year ago we were positively diagnosed with Mareks and ALV (yay). We most likely have a mild form because my losses aren’t that frequent, maybe one every other month. We’ve had many necropsies confirm this in my chickens, and in my quail too. Anyway, I have a 1.5...

    Quail swollen preening gland

    My 1.5 year-old celadon quail hen is in pretty bad shape. She’s lost a lot of her feathers, looks listless and losing the ability to walk. We learned we have Mareks and ALV last summer, and while my chicken losses were and still are minimal, I did lose a half dozen quail until I moved them out...

    Turkeys and Mareks

    Sorry for the naive question; but I’ve read that Turkens may have some immunity to Mareks. So would that apply to Showgirls as well? Thank you!

    Rooster head injury now having seizures! Supplement ideas?

    So my two year old RIR rooster fell off his roosting shelf in his coop a couple weeks ago, from a deep sleep, and experienced some kind of head trauma (I watched the whole thing on the Ring camera). And now he is having frequent seizures, about one every 3-5 min. We took him to the vet, and...

    Is this ringworm? Or what?

    Both my RIR and Cemani boys have this dried white powdery looking stuff on their combs, and missing feathers around the comb. I purchased ringworm medication for chickens, but haven’t been consistent with it admittedly. I just want to be sure it’s nothing else? My RIR was bleeding from it a few...

    Lethargic Hen/Yellow Poop/Fourth One Down

    So we have had four hens in the past six weeks come down with some kind of gut bug I believe. They become lethargic, and have watery yellow/green poops, pic attached. Their crop is squishy too. Three of the hens bounce back within a week on SMZ/TMP and nystatin, and they were back to laying eggs...

    Script needed now for SMZ/TMP????

    I just went to place an order for aqua SMZ/TMP from valley vet.com, which I’ve done in the past, but now they’re saying I need a prescription from my vet??? Since when?? Does anyone know where I can get it without having to do this baloney?? Ugh

    Button Quail Incubation Question

    I have a quick question about button quail hatching. I’ve had success in the past with shipped chicken eggs and keeping them upright in the incubator for seven days. Then I would lay them on their side for turning, and then put them back up again for the last three days of lockdown. My...

    Hello, we are planning on putting a quail addition to the front of our very large chicken coop. it will be 4 wide by 8 feet tall to be cautious with flushing, and probably have an outside door for access. The base will be built up on a frame equal to the coop, with a sand substrate added in...

    8 mo old Jersey Giant Hen has Chronic Nasty Poop!

    Hello, I posted about this a couple months ago and I can’t find the thread (so sorry). Anyway, my Jersey girl who just started laying a few months ago, is presenting with very bad watery poop, on the reg! Not one is good at all. For several months. She drinks a lot of water too. So I’ve...

    7 mos old JGiant with bad watery poop!

    I’ve got a seven month old Jersey giant that just started laying a few weeks ago. Well coincidentally around the same time, I noticed her poop has just been this splooty, watery mess! I sent in a sample to the state lab, who only test for parasites, and they said they didn’t find anything. She...

    Can I give my chickens the rest of the compost in barrel?

    I have a round compost barrel, that’s only been used for food scraps, and browns and greens. It has a ton of grubs and worms. I was going dump it out and give it to the chickens, but is it safe? I just wasn’t sure with all the different kinds of bacteria in there…?

    My chicken is sick

    since yesterday, my buff Orpington has been acting very subdued, drinking a lot. This morning, she started vomiting and positioning her neck in weird and unnatural ways (wry neck symptom?) , and her crop has a foul odor. Poop is watery as well. I started this morning giving her poultry...

    Hatching BCM concern!

    I have a BCM that pimped yesterday at about 5 PM. It’s almost 24 hours later. She managed to get through a lot of the shell, and maybe the babies bouncing around her helped too, but she still hasn’t come through the membrane? It looks moist, she is breathing, but I do see a lot of veins so I...

    One Year Rookie 🐓

    Hello, I live in the mountains of Asheville, NC with my family of four, and started my chicken-keeping journey a year ago, with ten mail order hens and a rooster (that 10%er lol 😝) . He is a RIR, and the girls are leghorns, cuckoo Marans, Ameraucana, Easter Eggers and a golden comet. It has been...
