Bunny shaking oddly

My 2 month old Pekin (girl I believe) suddenly became unable to walk a week ago today (Saturday). I assumed it was niacin definitely and started adding additional niacin to her (and her sister’s) food. Monday I took her to the vet after she was showing no improvement. The vet said her lungs...

My muscovy has been doing this forever! He is such a sweetheart, have your ever done it? If so what does it mean?

I'm trying to convince myself it's pullet, however heard it crow & saw it crow :hmm It's a Marans/WTB (white splash) and according to the hatch date I was given when I got "her", it's 13wks today. The WTG (red/brown) is 15wks old, I'm sure that's a pullet. Need your expertise ... I know it's...

Hi. I am new to site. I am hoping for help. A 5 week old chick was grabbed by cat-paw not bitten. Rescued today and injury was 3 days ago and betadine was used. I am thinking this may be a degloving. Is this a lost cause or vet intervention will help? She eats/drinks and chirpy. Thx The first...

I have a 2 yo hen that has started laying soft shell eggs. This happens to maybe 60-70% of the eggs she lays. She eats laying crumble and has oyster shells and dried, crushed eggshell at all times. she eats, is alert, of good body weight and exhibits no outward signs of illness. I purchased...

I will preface by saying that I am really screwed up... I start with the story of what happened and end with my plead for help. We purchased two three week old splash silkie chicks to add to our flock of juvenile silkies from a wonderful small local hatchery. They supplied us with what we...

Welcome to the 2019 Halloween/Thanksgiving Hatch-a-Long! Due to the delay in getting this hatch-a-long started, it will run until November 29th to allow for another set to hatch the day after Thanksgiving. Set chicken eggs on November 8th for this hatch date! Ducks, turkeys, peafowl, and some...

So my week old duckling has had what appears to be turned in feet/legs and has since I got him. He is a crested blue Swedish duck. When I had one duckling hatch and the others die during hatch I needed to quickly find same age ducklings locally. I met a lady in the middle and didn’t know that...

Today is the beginning of day 23 it's 7 pm right now and my chick internally pipped at around 9 am yesterday on day 22. About an hour and a half ago I made a small hole into the egg so she has more air to breathe. But I'm wondering would it be a good time to add it this hatch? I'm just worried...

My big concern is my poor rooster is acting very sick, very suddenly! He was acting normal yesterday,.maybe a little clingy but still chasing the girls and eating. Noticed last nite when we put them in the coop that his comb looked darker than usual. Today he seems dizzy,lethargic, not eating...
