I think my one goose, different from before, has a blockage of some kind. She's not a year yet but will be in May.
She's been having diarrhea yesterday night but I noticed this morning her trying to push and her vent pushing out completely. She has mucus or something coming out. She also has a...

She’s 27 weeks old, hasn’t started laying yet. Video attached because I have no idea what she is going through. She’s eating and drinking. She’s pooping. I’m in New Zealand where it’s summer at the moment and gapeworm is rare. Regardless I’ll worm her today anyway but I wondered if anyone has...
I posted the question with the video on reddit, please help:

Chicken is 10 months old, lays an egg usually every day. She free ranges an acre and has high protein chicken feed along with broken egg shells for calcium. Description of the symptoms...
Hello friends,
wonderful people here helped me with my ducks multiple times, so I ask you for your wisdom once more.
TL;DR : my indian runners have been sick since they were about 2 weeks old - detailed symptoms below - They are doing ok from what I can tell, the vet said they are ok and to...
My duck woke up with a cough. Is it normal or does it sound sick? If it’s sick what should I do? They have lots of access to deep water. I currently have pine shavings in their coop but am changing that to straw.

We all know how much dust those birds can create, so I'm just wondering who wears some kind of respiratory protection when they are in and around the coop - and when!
Have you had any issues from not wearing a mask?

Yesterday when I was working in the yard I noticed one of my bronze turkey hens face was swollen. About a month or two ago all my birds caught some respiratory infection which I treated with some amoxicillin I had on hand. After about 10 days on it and some tlc everyone was feeling and looking...
Hi there! I’ve noticed one of my chickens, whenever she drinks water, she coughs a bit back up along with a fair bit of saliva and also has a bit of dribble down her chin most days. She’s also smells a little stinky. (Probably weird but) I normally like the smell of my chickens, they remind me...
Hello everyone, I had a worm overload in my flock, so I’ve been treating with fendbendazole, all the birds that were lethargic and had swollen crops are no longer swollen and definitely show more energy.
Today however, my buff Orpington/cross roo was sneezing/coughing. His head was in the oyster...
Hi all,
I have a very old girl that I rescued two or so months ago and have been nursing back to health. She’s been going really well until maybe two weeks ago when she started coughing. The coughing seem to happen most when she’s eating too quickly or if she over exerts herself. She also...
I have 5 chickens that have been battling a respiratory infection for about 3 weeks. They are about 15 weeks old. We've done a round of TerraVet in their water and they're still sick. They have coughs and clear nasal drainage. They are still active, eating, and drinking. We went to the vet today...
Hi all!
So I noticed this probably yesterday or the day before hand when she was sifting through the grass but this morning it’s being done when she isn’t even eating or grazing. They have deep enough water, her nares are clean and I’ve looked to see if anything is lodged in her mouth and it’s...
Our roo has shown some eye discharge and crustiness around his eye. He has also developed a nasty cough. Any ideas as to what this could be? I attached pictures of his eye. I should also add that I am not able to examine the bird myself, since I am off at college. Thanks in advance!
hey everyone, i have posted about these ducklings but i might have posted about the wrong symptoms and only one of them had it. So they are about a week old, two of them i haven't had as long as one as the lone one had lost a sibling. the sibling that died was a bit lethargic but not overly...
Hey all,
I’ve been noticing my three drakes have been “sneezing” like this. I can’t confirm all three are doing it for certain because it’s tough for me to tell the pekins apart, but at least one of the pekins and the welsh harlequin have been doing it.
I’ve noticed it very occasionally for...
I know this has been written on here a hundred million times already. I've read so much and am confused how to go forward...
We had been on vacation for a week, neighbor looking after our hens, came back to these two wheezing/rattle breathing. I'm not sure if my neighbour maybe didn't spend as...
Earlier this week we had to cull the smallest chicken, who had become extremely lethargic, runny liquid poop, feathers ruffled, not moving at all and not eating. He was my daughter’s favourite chicken and she was terribly affected by the loss. The little cockerel was a pet to her.
That left us...
There isn’t a lot of information out there about mycoplasma, or chronic respiratory disease in geese and ducks other than vague descriptions that are often copy pasted from few sources, so I thought I’d post a useful article I found about it...
