A friend had one of their 16 week old French Wheaten Marans cockerels die this morning. He'd been visibly sick for 5 days, presented with anorexia, lethargy, ataxia. Crop consistently empty, normal poos. No respiratory symptoms, clear eyes. Was treated for internal & external parasites and...
I’ve just been given this pullet, she hasn’t grown since 12 weeks old. She hatched the first week of May so is now 22 weeks old and weighs 750g.
Unknown breed. However the person my friend got her off has silkies, pekins and frizzles.
Is this shredder gene or double frizzle or something...
What would cause this colour? All acting normal. No recent meds, no major diet change, only new thing I’ve seen them eat was some water milfoil (Australian native Myriophyllum crispatum) from the turtle pond.
I have two muscovies, acquired from a friend who didn’t know about their niacin requirements. It started with one, Duckduck who couldn’t walk anymore, after a fortnight, I got a younger duck (whose name is Goose) from their flock to keep her company.
I’m currently giving both extra niacin...

I’ll preface this by saying I know next to nothing about ducks. I know chooks, and I know they can’t eat the same food as them. Also I’m referring to this duck as a girl, but please correct me if I’m wrong.
My friend asked me to take this duck for dog food because she can’t walk.
Apparently...
I woke up to this hen’s eye looking like this. She has no other symptoms. I posted earlier this week about my 18 week old pullets sneezing, and started everyone on oxytetracyine.
I have contacted authorities again but was told it’s unlikely to be avian influenza so they won’t come out. I do...
Thank you, I think I got it uploaded.
I did check for mould and couldn’t find any. As far as I’m aware there’s nothing poisonous or venomous in/near my yard
Hi all,
This morning I woke to find one of my pullets (hatched 5th November) in death throes. She had started sneezing sporadically three days ago, but had no other symptoms. Her eyes were clear, face normal, eating and drinking and running around fine. She and the rest of the clutch aren’t at...
Hi all, I’m wanting to make some boots for my tiny pekin. She’s getting over a severe case of scaly leg & bumblefoot (I got her with these conditions last week).
I’ve found the little chicken booties online but no one in my country sells or makes them. I could buy them from overseas, but the...
This chick I hatched (I’ve named her maybelline), has a black line behind each eye. I thought it was dirt at first, but it’s bilaterally symmetrical. Anyone know if it’s something that warrants investigation, or is it just a weird feather marking?
Hi all, I had a cat break into my coop on Thursday morning. I lost 3 girls, one was untouched, and 3 injured. One of the injured girls is alright now, but two are still not good.
Nugget: 2yo bantam mutt. Initially couldn’t stand, Friday couldn’t weight bear on right leg, today she can stand...
