Chick hatched early before anyone was up to notice the hen pecking and ruptured the yolk before it could be fully absorbed. I quickly removed all of the eggs and placed them into an incubator. Its been sitting in the incubator for a few hours, moving around still and seems to be doing really...

I was putting my ducks to bed and both of them have thick slimy yellow goop coming out of their mouths, all stuck to their tongues! I'm having a hard time getting it out. I have no idea what to do, they've been outside grazing and swimming all day acting fine

I found one of my ameraucana hens on the floor of the coop unable to stand up or even hold her self up right. She was still eating and drinking last night but now today she's gasping like she can't breath. She can move her legs but she's very weak. She's a little on the thin side. I can feel her...

I have two ducks, a male chocolate runner and a female khaki. The khaki has been laying for almost 3 months, and suddenly she's getting these dark feathers? Like dark brown, much darker than the normal "khaki" light brown that she was. This was her last month This is today I'm not worried...

I have a Sebright hen that for a week or so has been kind of not acting herself, she's not really been lethargic, but she's slowed down? I've seen her eating and drinking with the other as well as going outside on the nicer days. But she seems like she's just not as active and as moving around...

One of my two new ducklings is making a popping, gurgling sound when it breaths/peeps. I've seen in another thread it could be an infection and I'm wondering if there is antibiotics I can get at tractor supply or another store without having to go to a vet?

My grandparents just surprised me with two Khaki Campbell ducklings from tractor supply and we have already had to buy new food for them, I only had medicated chick feed. The problem is solved now after I read they can't have it, but I'm worried that the ducklings are drinking too much now and...

Yesterday I noticed he had a crack and the tip was a little loose when I touched it, I kind of left it alone thinking maybe it would stay on if I just left it alone. I was thinking of putting super glue on it but he was too wiggly to let me do anything to him. Now today I saw the peice broke...

I have a silkie hen sitting on 4 eggs, one just hatched yesterday night. The chick is doing really well, I've seen it eating already but I haven't seen it try to drink yet? I've raised chicks but this is my first time hatching my own eggs with a broody hen. Any advice would be appreciated

I have a 3 month old EE that is always holding her head very close to her body, she's always kind of napping. But I havent seen any red or green poop from her. She isn't sneezing, no sign of sickness other than her being lethargic and holding her head close. I don't know if it might be wry neck...

He is a black tail Japanese mixed mutt, I call him Scruffy. I've read and heard that roosters aren't suppose to have colors like he does. And I've had doubts that he's actually even a real rooster at all. He crows, not as often as his brother and it doesnt sound like a normal crow. This is his...

She is making little sounds but not breathing heavy, I've never seen this before please help

5 week old chicks with very bloody poop. They've been on a medicated food since I got them and only just a few days ago switched them to regular chick feed. Should I get them on corid?

I just ordered 20 chicks and all of them are doing great except for one who I've just noticed now had a very plugged up rear end with diarrhea. I soaked her butt well but now she's so weak she doesn't want to stand. She won't stop peeping. I don't know if she's in pain and I'm not sure what to...

This pullet has had a few issues for last month. First i thought i witness her having siezures, then more recently i noticed she sometimes has very labored breathing like she's opening her mouth very wide and sticking her tongue out. She eats and drinks with the others, her appetite hasn't gone...

It must have started last night because i didn't see anything while she was out yesterday. Just came out this morning to small puddles all over the garage floor and in her nest/sleep box. Please help,

I found her in the coop with blood on the neck around her ear lobe, its only on one side. I don't know what to do, do i take her to a vet? There's a chunk of skin hanging,

I just got 5 new bantam chicks, they are i think around 8 weeks old. The littlest one, i found yesterday looked like the others tried to peck at his comb. It was bloody so i seperated him. Yesterday it was fine, i couldn't wipe anything off to see firther because he's not socialized well, he...

I have 2 Cuckoo Marans, 2 New Hampshire Reds, and 2 Easter Eggers that are now 6 weeks old and they all sound like they're hoarse and their peeps aren't as high pitch as they usually are but they seem healthy and normal. I don't remember my other chickens voices changing this early, should I be...

I had all of my chicks (3 weeks now) on non medicated food and just switched them to medicated feed a few days ago. Since then some of the chicks have had poop that is literally just liquid, but they are acting normal. Eating, drinking, running around acting like chicks. I've also been giving...
