    Penguining, Swollen Belly, White Bumps??

    Bumps are getting better! The belly is still swollen and very red. Her behavior is normal, but she's produced some strange looking diarrhea just now-- could these be lumps of yolk? They're yellow. She has had a history of egg yolk peritonitis where she eventually expelled what looked like egg...

    Penguining, Swollen Belly, White Bumps??

    Thanks for the quick responses! We're going to give her a break from the soaks for a bit, and when we checked this morning those spots seem to be a bit better. We're thinking it must be irritation from all those salt soaks when she had bumblefoot. Her swollen belly continues to be a great...

    Penguining, Swollen Belly, White Bumps??

    Hello BYC, Our 3 year old hen Lagniappe was discovered this morning to be penguining. At first we thought she was egg bound so we soaked her in an epsom salt bath and gave her 400mg of calcium, but upon further inspection we discovered that her featherless belly was swollen, distended, and...

    Duckling Bite - Flesh Wound

    I appreciate the advice and info - we have done our best to keep the wound clean and medicated with ointment. We tried wrapping and applying pressure on the wound but we were unsuccessful. Just wanted to provide a current update: this fella is doing exceedingly well! Currently, the wound has...

    Duckling Bite - Flesh Wound

    There was a group of baby ducklings (likely around a day old) in the backyard lake and no mother in sight. When these were taken out of the water, one of them had a flesh wound, presumably from a fish bite. Currently, there has been some herniation of internal organs/flesh (see below). We have...

    Chicken Eye - Spot/Discharge?

    Howdy BYC, One of our fine hens, Dorothy, a suspected Rhode Island Red hen who is 1 year and 3 months old, was spotted having an abnormal right eye recently. It appears there a cloudy and hazy spot bordering the bottom of her pupil and iris along with some fluid discharge. We noticed this...

    Hen acting like she's egg bound but no egg?

    We've started her on Calcium Citrate + Vitamin D as recommended and overall her temperament seems to be the same for the most part. She's still penguining and lethargic, but there were moments where she moved and ate some feed and vegetables. We caught her poop in the picture above and it was...

    Hen acting like she's egg bound but no egg?

    Hey BYC! One of our fine hens, Lagniappe, has been acting a bit off for the past couple days. She's 9 months old and has started laying, though we don't know when she last laid. In the coop, we've noticed her droop and sort of penguin, quite unlike herself previously. When we placed her in the...

    Rooster's comb is becoming more purple / feels cool to the touch?

    Hey BYC, Our trusty alpha rooster, Big Red, has a comb that usually runs purple at the tips and the back. We are not sure of his breed, but we believe he is at least 2-3 years old. We have suspected this may be due to some circulation issues, but this has never hindered him. We have not noticed...

    Squeeble (Hen) Death

    Thank you @Tookie and @Wyorp Rock for the timely responses. After a thorough discussion, we decided to forgo the necropsy to cremate her. We don't suspect she had any contagious/infectious diseases given how she has been, though we have read online they can hide illness well. We thoroughly...

    Squeeble (Hen) Death

    Hey BYC, Unfortunately one of our young hens, Squeeble, passed away suddenly today. Earlier in the day she was noticed to be a bit lethargic momentarily but she was otherwise completely normal. She was almost 6 months old, and was a sex-link chicken. There's no signs of physical trauma or...

    Entry #4 - Squeeble (her nickname is Screechy, and I personally prefer this). She's quite the vocal lady and she loves having a chat with us! She is presumed to be a gold sex-link chicken and she will be turning 6 months old at the start of next week!
