Today my fiance and I vendered at the Maryland Poultry swap & Farmer's Market, we sold some and bought some and our last buy was a gorgeous young Black Shoulder Peacock cockerel.

I noticed today this little one was screaming at the top of his bloody lung, he can walk, move but his eyes will not dilate like normal. I am having to feed him and give him water at this point, nothing else seems wrong. I do have him separated from everyone else as a precaution. What do you...

I have had nothing but bad luck with water fowl this year including Goslings. Every time I give them water specially new water, which they have access too 24/7 and all the feed they want not even 10 mins after the fresh water I have at least 2 having water fits. I am using Purina Flock Raiser I...

I'm having an issue, every time I give my ducklings water most of them all of a sudden start seizing and have water in their lungs. We've already lost 2 and a third seems to be giving up, this has been going on for the past week, it doesn't seem to matter what we do for water even if it's...

I got two Cinnamon Queens about two weeks ago and I see a big difference already. One has longer wing feathers and no comb growth and the other has shorter wing feathers and comb growth. Is my assumption correct and that is I have a young Cockerel and a young Pullet? pictures were hard holding...

My fiance and I just lost two of our favorite ducks hens out of the blue. We treated them last month and January for the bimonthly dewormer and the five day cocci, all animals were fine and healthy. But we noticed the passed day one duck was acting off she was normally a very active and loud...

Ok so I have this one very retarted or severely confused English Orpington rooster who will purposely seek out one of my cochin mixed roosters pin him down and brutally rape him, and he isn't the only one this rooster goes after as well as my light brahma boys and cornish cross boys. I've caught...

I just got a gorgeous Indian Runner hen and I want to name her but figured why not have the community help! We got her along with more Anconas and Khaki Campbells, waiting on a call back to claim the rest. She was labled free along with many others but her previous owner wanted to keep some so I...

Hi I am a four to five day old peep. I have 5 toes like a Silky chicken, beard, and pompom like a Polish, my skin is white and that is what has stumped my new mommy and daddy, and the breeder they got me from. Any tips on what I might be or mixed with will greatly help my human parents. I never...

So we noticed the other day my little cuckoo maran dude was limping, we called vet after vet and they think he could have a dislocated hock or slipped tendon and advised us to splint for four months, and keep him indoors. We splinted him tonight with popsicle sticks and ouchless breathable...

one of my silkies isn't doing well. I noticed she didn't come out of their coup yesterday and today so I took the back wall off to take her out and she was barely moving. We brought her in, and have her under a heating pad I think when the cold blast came through she might have pneumonia. We are...
