So I only have 2 male runner ducks right now. They were fairly friendly and a little skittish of people until about 2 months ago, they now attack my feet and chase my kids around. They make it very hard to walk because they are always underfoot. They nip at fingers and arms. Someone...

So I have lost a few hens in the past few months. I think it is Mereks, but not sure. Right now, I have a hen that seemed to be going broody, she was not very active, would just sit in the nesting box. I have noticed she is very thin and a few days ago she started twisting her neck and her...

So today I noticed on my hens wing, a big hard mass, kind of like a scab, but thick like golfball sized. It has drops of yellow serum on it. I had this happen to the breast of another chicken years ago. It is awful feeling, very hard and lumpy. It does not seem to bother her, and she is...

So, I am hoping to get some advice for a sick hen. She is a one year old mixed breed banty. She is limping on one leg, kind of dragging it behind her, she kind of flaps and falls when trying to get somewhere. She just lays quietly with her eyes shut, and she is quite thin. I can feel her...

Just wondering what you think of my 2 month old chick. The father is a Cochin banty, mom is a polish cross. There is only one chick. It's comb has hardly developed at all yet. It kind of jumps up at my hand when I bring it close to it too quickly. When do roos start crowing? Any ideas?

So I was wondering if anyone has seen such a thing before? It is hard but not like a scab, it's more like a mass of tight tissue. She constantly pecks at it. I don't think it was ever an injury. She is still eating ok, although she is not quite herself. She sometimes lifts her one leg...

I have been treating my hen (3 yo Cochin X bantam) for scaley leg mite with Vaseline because her legs were looking thick and she was starting to limp. I checked her feet for Bumblefoot and could not see anything. She has also gotten a bit skinny but still eating well. She constantly picks...

My 3 year old Cochin X Ameracauna banty hen has stopped laying, and hasn't left the hen house for about 2 weeks now. She eats very little, some apple. Her comb and wattle is very pale and she is lethargic. Just sits there puffed up with eyes closed. I have tried Piperizine and fenbendazole...

1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.) 3 year old Amaracauna/Cochin X bantam, losing weight 2) What is the behavior, exactly. About 2 weeks ago, my Silkie hen wouldn't go out of the coop, just sat there on her perch I gave...

I have no idea what is going on with my little hen, Goldie. She suddenly got ill 9 days ago. Not eating or drinking at all, eyes closed, feathers puffed up. I've been syringe feeding her and treating her with every thing I have. She laid an egg on the 2nd day of the illness, but nothing...

Well last week our pet wether Ike had to be put down by the vet. He was suffering from renal stones that completely stopped him from peeing. We now only have a female pygmy goat (Molly) We are now looking for a friend for her. We were thinking we should get another female, mainly because of...

These are my cute 5 week old frizzle cochin bantys. They look the same, so I believe they are the same sex. They jump and chest bump each other quite alot and are very active. Can anyone tell if they are looking more like girls or boys?

So my Silkie has been sitting on eggs and hatched 2 now. She is still sitting on 6 eggs. I took one of her chicks out and held it where she could see it and she pecked it really hard, like she was going to kill it. She is usually really nice and timid. I waited til she settled back on her...
