I am so embarrassed to post this but am in desperate need of advice - I have overdosed my poor bantam rooster with penicillin and he his hanging on but am unsure of what to do from here.
I have been giving him 3cc for 2 days now and he probably only weighs 3lbs. Yesterday I gave 3cc TWICE and...
Hey so this is my first post on here. I’m a first time duck mom and I have two Pekins. They’re almost a year old. My little girl piglet has been limping for a long while. It hasn’t been that bad and it wasn’t causing her pain. A few days ago I went out to give them fresh water and her foot had...
Please someone help me, my cockerel has just died in my arms and was struggling to breath and making squeaking noises when breathing, he had an extremely dark purple comb amd then died, I have 6 other chickens and really don’t know what to do, I don’t know whether it’s coccidiosis because there...
My duck can’t walk. I’ve had this problem in the past with this duck, which was fixed With Niacin. But it’s not seeming to work. Unfortunately I think we’ll have to put her down, I don’t want to but I think she’s in pain. We’re gonna take her to the vet to see what they can do, but if they can’t...

Hi all!
I have three Peckin Ducks and one White Chinese Goose. The ducks are almost four months old and Frankie (goose) is nearing two months.
When he was a baby, the ducks picked on him A LOT, so we kept them separated. As he’s gotten older and bigger, we let them socialize more hoping they...
We have a small chick - about 1-1.5 months old - and we believe she has fowl pox, a bump on her beak and one by her eye and the bumps keep growing. All the information we've found says there isn't much you can do. The bumps keep getting bigger and bigger and everyone says there's nothing you can...
I work at Tractor Supply and this chick came in today, and my manager allowed me to take her/him home to try and care for it (by the way it's my first time trying to care for a special needs chick), as no one else would/were able to. I have given the chick plenty of water, and have tried to get...
Hello,
My 4 year old Colombian black tail has been unwell for the past week or so. She (and the others) have been wormed, and she’s also had a weeks worth of antibiotics. She’s also taking anti inflammatory medicine for small dogs as this was given to her by the vet last time she was unwell...
This morning I found a dropping from one of my three baby chicks. Not sure if its intestinal lining and I don't know who did it but 2 of my baby chicks make a month in a few days and the youngest one is about 1-2 weeks old. I have the 2 on medicated feed that has the amprolium in it since they...
I had a chicken that was very precious to me. I loved this chicken to death. So, I made her family the “royal” family.
She was “Queen” until she passed away. She had two sons. The oldest became “King”. The oldest had two kids.
One is a boy. The other one is a mystery. I really want it to be a...
I’m new to keeping birds and I don’t know much besides what I googled online. I want to get a Red Golden Pheasant, but I’m not sure on how to go with it. My questions I have are how loud are they, what do they eat exactly, could I have just one bird or could I get two males in one cage, how big...

Hi, I have a production red, age 3 or 4, who I'm pretty confident is eggbound. Ive had this before with her several times 2/3 years ago which she passed shortly after soaking her in basin of warm water.
Today however this method seems to have not worked despite having soaked for nearly 40 mins...
Since yesterday, there is a brownish-black tumour like growth (the size of a blueberry) hanging out from my duck's butt (male) . At first, thinking it was poop, i tried to wash it off with water but realised that it's hard as stone and it won't come off. Is this harmful? Should I do something...
I have a silkie hen that just started laying and I’m pretty sure her eggs are fertile. I do not have a rooster and she is currently separated from the main flock (I separated her a couple weeks ago) because she was getting picked on. Is this normal? Has anyone ever had this happen to them? Are...
Hi, I'm a teacher and we need 2 dozen fertilized chicken eggs somewhere near the Los Angeles area. We had eggs reserved but they were eaten by rats and now we can't find any eggs. If you are selling eggs and are somewhat local, please let me know. We need the eggs ASAP!
Thanks!

Someone brought me wild birds eggs and I don't have an incubator or time to turn eggs. Is it okay to put wild bird eggs in another random wild birds nest?
So I have 10 ISA Brown pullets who just turned 18 weeks old today and 2 of them started laying last week and yesterday. The one that has been laying for about a week now has been laying beautiful dark brown eggs while the other one is laying light eggs with white speckles. I was just wondering...
I have a chick that started zipping about 6 hours ago but stopped and I’m not really sure what to do. I would open up the incubator to help it, but I have 3 other chicks that have pipped and I don’t want to “shrink wrap” them. Should I just wait till the pipped eggs hatch and then help it?
