    Please help right away!!!

    Okay- I've put antibiotic cream on the broken skin and carefully wrapped her in gauze and self-sticking vet tape. It's throwing her off-balance so she's having a hard time walking but at least she can't hurt her wing any further. I just wish I knew if she was going to be okay. And thank you all...

    Please help right away!!!

    One of my week old chicks has a badly-broken wing. I'm guessing momma stepped on her. The bone is snapped. She's still active but dragging the wing. Surprisingly not distressed. There's blood but she's not still bleeding. What should I do? Should I put an antibacterial on it? Secure the wing to...

    Can you identify this crooked beak?

    Quote: The cross beak CAN be passed down if the underlying cause is genetic. Many cross beaks occur during development in the egg. The problem is that you don't know for sure what the cause is and that's why they should be excluded from the breeding pool. When I first started here on BYC, I...

    Want to dip my toes in the breeding pool (opinions appreciated) (long)

    Hi, all! A little nervous about posting in this particular forum- I know many of you are breeding to type for showing and other purposes. Those of you who do that may want to smack me for talking about crosses. For that, I apologize in advance. I have had my flock for almost two years now. I...

    Standard Buff Cochin roo to a good home- Savannah GA

    Here's a bit of an older picture of my beautiful Banty (I thought he was a Bantam when he was a few days old but he's a standard- the name stuck though). He was our "exotic chick" from McMurray. He is absolutely the sweetest roo and I would keep him if I could but we're already keeping two...

    Thanks for the info! I'll start treating them as soon as I can figure out the dosage. Once again, the vet was no help.

    ticked off , please help

    1. Get a new girlfriend. Anyone who willingly lets chicks starve for two days isn't someone you want around. 2. Wash your mouth out with soap. You kiss your mama with that mouth? 3. Separate out any bleeding chicks until healed and watch closely for continuing pecking. Make sure that they...

    Could someone help me interpret these lab results? My vet can't!

    Finally got the bloody diarrhea results back from the lab and my vet doesn't deal with birds so was unhelpful. I suspected coccidiosis and that's what they tested for (I think). Here are the results: Giardia (ELISA) Negative Isospora Oocysts 1+ (which supposedly means 2-4 eggs or...
