Hi all, need help fast with our 3 year old Spitz.
This fall we noticed some bubbling in her eye. We took her to the vet and they gave us antibiotics to help. It did not seem to do much and as winter came around her weight and behavior stayed healthy so we hoped it may just run its course...
I came out to the coop this morning to find my absolute favorite girl maple under a hawk. She was 3 years old. She was the last remaining of my original 6 and had always been my favorite girl jumping on my lap and taking treats from my hand (and the bag).

Hello, we have a 2.5 year old Easter egger who is currently molting. Her typical weight is 5lb 3oz. During this molt, I have noticed a drastic weight/mass loss. She has in 2 weeks fallen to 3lb 10 oz and I’m not sure how much more she can lose. Her poop is mostly clumps of undigested grass with...

We have recently lost a chicken to whatever this disease is and are possibly about to lose one more. Chicken is eating a ton but not gaining weight. All signs point to coccidiosis but Corid and Sulfa have not done the trick. Any advice or suggestions as a last ditch effort to save our old girl...
Our sweet girl pepper was attacked by an opossum last night in the coop. Thankfully I heard the commotion and got out there before it killed her, but she’s very shaken up and has some lacerations on her head. Many feathers removed as well. The main worry right now is that she isn’t opening...
