    Beak deformity?

    So, I was holding my little silkie chick and then I noticed that her beak was curving to the side a bit... She is a little over 3 weeks old. Her bottom beak and top beak are aligned right so... What's going on? Sorry, not very good pictures.

    Black Spots/Peeling Beak

    Hey so my Mang has some black spots on his beak. I don't think it's fowl pox , does it have something to do with his beak growing? Because it's also peeling I think.

    Mucus in mouth

    This morning my 5 month old Barred Rock hen was showing signs of lethargy. She was sitting quietly in the corner of the pen. I thought maybe she was trying to lay an egg as she hasn't laid one yet. But then she started shaking her chest and neck like she was gagging. Then I noticed thick...

    WHAT GOOD IS A BEAK

    Poor old Edgar is four years old with a face you can love with a little effort. He has been messed up like this since his second summer of life when he was just over a year old. The moron insisted on getting into multiple fights with other roosters through wire of a pen. He nearly died...

    Sea Gull Has Growth Above Bill

    A sea gull showed up in Culver City, CA, three days ago with a large growth above its bill (in front of its right eye). It is near the bike path along La Ballona Creek (just west of Sepulveda Blvd and south of Lucerne Ave.). Does it need to be treated?
