Hello. I have noticed over the last few days one of my bantams twisting her neck from side to side a lot, as if she's trying to swallow something in her neck. I have seen this before occasionally in other birds, seemingly when they are trying to swallow something large or have eaten a lot of...

One of our hens has had a large looking abdomen for a while no, and I thought nothing of it. But yesterday there was something stuck from her vent, and today there is more. There appears to be a fleshy tube at one side, and what looks like ovaries, or I suppose egg type things at the other? My...

Hi all, I have a hen who has something strange sticking from her vent - it seems like a dry and wrinkled rubbery mass at the end, but with a tube-like fleshy part which extends back into the vent. I could pull it so far, but then it wouldn't come out any further, as if it was connected inside...

I have a 26 week old Black Rock (I think). At first she had one eye shut, but otherwise acted normally. But for the next 2 weeks, she has gone downhill. She has a few scabs on her face/wattles, on the side with the shut eye, and she itches this side of her face sometimes. Now her neck seems to...

One of my bantams has a swollen ear. I think that she hurt it a while ago, and it still has dried blood on the outside, and the ear lobe has swollen underneath. Maybe the swelling is the ear cavity filled with blood? Or the blood is blocking the ear cavity? I don't know whether I should remove...

I have a bantam with a hurt ear. It is crusted with blood, and has been like this for about a week now. I can only assume that she has scratched it on something or one of the others pecked her ear. I don't really know what to do to help her... Any help would be greatly appreciated!

One of my cockerels has been in a fight with another cockerel, and seems to have hurt his eye. He keeps it tight shut, and has only opened it slightly a couple of times. Can anyone suggest anything that could help him?

I have a little Rheinlander (I think) bantam, who seems to have trouble laying. She is NOT eggbound, and she always gets the egg out in the end. It's just that for a considerable while beforehand, she stands around with her tail hanging down and generally looking sad. She has done this for the...

My young (still on growers feed) Croad langshan hen stuck down a small gap this morning. When I pulled her out, her neck drooped almost to the floor. It appears that she must have either injured it falling down the gap, or strained it trying to pull herself out. I presume it isn't broken, and...

I have a bird which I cannot identify... Could anyone please tell me what differences there are between Cuckoo Marans and Black Sex Link Cockerels? They are only a few weeks old. Thanks

What is the difference between a BSL Cockerel and a BR? I have some chicks, and I don't know which they are... They are a few weeks old. Thanks
