We noticed on Sunday our baby had a super dirty butt. We brought her inside and noticed her vent had prolapsed. My MIL came over and was able to clean her and push it back in and everything was fine. Yesterday we were worse than the original. Today I feel even though I have done everything I...
Came outside this morning and three of my girls have bloody or broken weeks. I’m assuming they were trying to get something on the other side of the fence, what can I do? Should I separate them so they don’t get picked? Thank you!!
We have had a chicken sitting on eggs for a few weeks and they are now hatching. She kept one chick and stopped sitting on all the other eggs so we have brought them in under a heat lamp. They are doing well now, except for one. He was the coldest but perked up a little after under the warmth...
Hello everyone. My name is Hunter and I have quails. Some boys and some girls. I have noticed that one of the boys has been pecking another boys eye and now the bow has dried blood on one of his eyes and can’t ope it. The other eye is just shut. Is there any suggestions on what I can do to get...
Found in coop. 5 week old chicks that have just been moved outside. Not sure which one it is - so I split the group in half for the night and will try to figure out from there. Kinda crazy bc these guys have only been outside grazing the last 5-7 days and temps haven’t been above 73 so not...
Does anyone know what’s wrong from the pics? I separated him. I gave them vegan macaroni leftovers yesterday. Here’s the link to the recipe, maybe it’s from that? https://detoxinista.com/best-vegan-mac-n-cheese/
Sorry for the disgusting 🤮 pics
Hello Everyone, I hope you're all doing well!
I'm new to quail and birds in general, so I'm hoping to get a little bit of insight from others who may have faced a similar problem before.
I have a 4 month old California Quail who was hatched in an incubator after the nest was abandoned (the...
Hello all! One of our chicks started pooping blood last night. They are about 2 weeks old. Coccidiosis maybe? I have Corid to treat them. I just wasn’t sure the proper dosage as I’ve never done it with chicks before. The chick is acting fine but I want to get it early while I can.
Please see photos. There appears to be dried blood under my ducks feather. She was fine this morning and when I checked on her this afternoon, I noticed flies on her and the blood. There appears to be no active bleeding. She can still move both wings. She is eating and drinking. I separated her...
Hi - last friday I got 2 baby chicks, a buff orpington and a barred rock, the day the store got them, so I believe they are almost a week old now. They are in a little laundry tote with paper towels and a heat lamp.
When we brought them home the next day we spent some time in my yard while it...
I found an abandoned duck egg at a pond and took it home to incubate it. By some miracle it was fertilized and my duckling has fully formed and ready to hatch. Yesterday around 4 p.m. it externally pipped. Today around 6 p.m. there was still no progression. Being the first time i’ve ever hatched...
my 11 week old roo just cough some blood twice today.
he did it once when i tried to put on the collar before going outside. Second time when i grab him while he was running away.
I checked the collar, it was not tight at all. I could stick a full finger in. I still took it off after seeing...
Can anyone tell me why my Gander’s droppings look like this?
There’s flecks of blood and this mucous orange bit, I’ve never seen this with any of my geese before.
Backstory with my Sweet Gander is that he has an ongoing neurological disease, antibiotics may or may not be working, I’m just...
I have a chicken who every week or so has a tail feather broken and then starts bleeding. This has been going on for 5 months or so. I’ve resorted to pulling them. But as soon as they start growing back they break and bleed. I think she’s doing it herself when preening and then her friends go...
I have a Russian Orloff Rooster that is almost 3 years old. I have had him since he was 3 days old. Today I went in the stall and he is extremely wobbly and having trouble even walking. He is usually very active and has always been my most dominant rooster. A few weeks ago he had some dried...
Hey BYC community,
We have 8 month old hens (first time chicken keepers). A couple of the girls are plucking/pecking feathers near the other girls vents and tail feathers to the point where we have made visits to the vet because of the bleeding. We don’t know how to stop this, have bought...
My beloved chicken, Nuggie, has a cut right between her head and her comb. It’s not bleeding anymore but has made a little sticky mess on her. She doesn’t seem to act any differently or even care! I suspect it to be from a rooster, as there are no other areas where it could have happened. No one...
