Hello this is my first time posting here.
I have been around this site before looking at tips and advice, but right now I need some immediate help.
Some time very late last night while one of my goslings was hatching this one got pretty injured. When I checked on it it was bleeding from...
Yesterday morning, when we let the ducks out into the yard, my husband noticed blood splattered on the sides of two of our ducks. They had no visible injuries, but we found additional blood splatter in their bedding, near where the girls drop their eggs, and on the wall above. We carefully...
This is my first time incubating eggs. These are pekin ducklings.
I’ve done a ton or research. It’s day 29 and these babies have pipped last night on day 28. On one of the eggs I’ve noticed a red clot of blood, is this normal? It is not bleeding, I just see the spot and it’s making me nervous...
I have four chickens living like queens in a big shed (their outdoor area isn’t ready yet). They have multiple waterers and feeders and normally seem to be happy, besides some pecking from our top girl Gwen who’s a few years older than the other three.
The order was Gwen, Chichi, Inari, &...
Hello!
I've noticed a bit of red / pink in in the general poop in the coop. I know it is normal for birds to have some red in their poop, I've seen it before. Just wanted to make sure this isn't anything I should be worried about. The potential bird(s) affected have already been in quarantine...
While I was at work a neighbor's kids trespassed on the land and their dog got into the chicken pen. My landlord was able to scare the mutt away before any of them were killed. There were a lot of feathers. The police were called (rightfully so: trespassing, neglect of the leash law, possible...
I got a couple of new chicks this month: 2 faverolles and 5 silkies. They're all 2 weeks old (hatched Nov 1st). While doing my daily check-up I got a tiny drop of chicken blood on my hand. Upon closer inspection I noticed...something on the smaller faverolle's foot. Is this some sort of ingrown...
Hi friends! I have four beautiful hens, and tonight when I was putting them to bed, I noticed one was injured. It was one of my other birds picking on her, not a wild animal. She has a wound on her comb which is bleeding a lot all over the place. I have had this issue in the past and didn’t...
Hi everyone. We had just taken our duck out of his bath and he flapped his wings a bit, and this developing feather fell to the ground.
There was blood at the tip of it, but we can’t find where it came from on his body, since he doesn’t seem to be bleeding from wherever it fell out. There was...
I have a small mixed straight run flock: two Silkies, an Orpington, and five low quality salmon faverolle. They are all about 1-2 months old. I went to feed them this morning and noticed two of faverolle that I am guessing are male look like this. What is happening?!? What do I do!
Hello! I'm a new chicken owner. I currently have 16 chickens of various breeds. Yesterday I noticed my Splash Cochin Bantam 9 weeks old, (I think that is the breed I know it's a bantam) was lame and not running in the yard with the flock. I picked her up to give her a look over and found that...
My best and most favorite hen, Joy broke an egg inside of her a week ago. After some meds to keep her from getting infected it happened again. Each time slowly the yolk would drain out of her system- but today she payed an egg shell with he insides full of blood and bloody outside. What is this...
I have been seeing some red in my chicken's poop for a few days now, and have thought nothing of it because they have been enjoying a summer treat of watermelon. This time it had been a few days and I was still seeing small bubbles of red in my chicken's poop. Not often, but not too...
Hello, we are new to chickens and bought 4 chicks of about 2 weeks old last week. I have one concern and one question (haha for right now).
1. Concern: I’ve found blood in their brooder a few times (starting the day after we brought them home). They were in one of those large rubber storage...
We recently introduced our new chicks to our two older chickens. They would run around the yard and see each other, and now they are in the same coop and run. Since we put them together, nothing bad has happened, but the older chickens are very territorial about both feeders. But this morning...
Good morning! I have one chick (naked neck partridge silkie) who continuously has pasty butt. I clean her off multiple times a day, they have probiotics in their water, I change the water 2 times a day, the temperature is steady, I have her on an in medicated organic starter feed, and she has...
Hi! My family and I recently got our first four chicks! We are first time chick owners. One of our chicks looks like their feathers are being plucked! It was bleeding more yesterday and I took these pics this morning. We aren’t really sure what to do! The chicks are about 2 months old. We think...
Hello!
When I went to clean the henhouse today I found that half the henhouse was speckled with blood. There was blood all around the night roosting area, the walls and over the wood shavings between the roosting area and the pop door. One chicken was covered in blood speckles in its face and...
