I’m unsure of how my baby chick got hurt but the mamma was getting stressed and we believe she accidentally hurt her baby when she flew out her cage. Is there anything we can do to stop the bleeding? The baby has began picking at it tasing the blood. Her wing also looks limp.
My bully chicken has been harassing my flock for quite a while now. I decided to put chicken blinders on her, once I placed them on I checked up on her the first few days and didn’t see any problems so I continued to keep them on her. I have now realized that her skin seems to be receding on top...
Hey,
I let my flock out to free range today which they often do but noticed my Rooster (1y/o) seems sick and I say this because he hasn't crowed all day and that is not typical along with his behavior being sluggish and keeping to himself and not really guiding his ladies or making sounds for a...

Hi all! I have an ayam cemani hen that is only a little over a year old. About a month ago, she started being the last hen to come in after free ranging. I’d usually have to go find her and pick her up to bring her over to the coop. She was still walking around at this point, but weirdly easy to...
After going out to my coop to check on my birds today I noticed my Rhode Island Red cross Orange wasn’t moving around much or showing any interest in the feed. I’ve brought her inside at this point and administered an epsom salt bath just in case she was egg bound, and currently trying to get...
I was outside watching my girls free range when I saw one of them raise their foot and start to pull off some dirt/poop. I noticed a small dark spot on her foot and immediately thought of bumble foot. After looking at her I made sure to check the rest of my girls and found that more of them have...

Currently treating my geese for a respiratory infection and purchased water soluble Tylosin. I’m wanting to give it in single dosages orally to make sure the medication is being taken adequately.
The package says add 5g per gallon of drinking water, but nothing about single dosages.

One of my geese recently became pretty ill over the past few days. A month ago both of my geese had a respiratory infection and was treated with Baytril. The symptoms mostly cleared up and after the 5 days I stopped medicating them. 2 days ago I noticed my 2 month old goose (Gilly) was breathing...
My 14 week old silkie hen got her toe injured. It’s totally my fault and I’m so upset and don’t know what to do. I’m a new chicken mom so i don’t really have a medical kit on hand yet.
Here’s what happened. I went out to check them all out for bed and put some fans in the coop because it’s hot...

Hi everyone! I have a chicken that is sick. I think she may be egg bound. I have her separated, soaked in warm bath, and gave her dissolved tums in water. I can’t feel any bound egg. She has not lost any color yet and still looks healthy. I am wondering if I am missing something or that it...

Has anyone had any issues with vitamin deficiency or any illnesses related to CO-OP starter grower feed? I have sick chickens and I’m trying to rule out all causes. I had baby chicks get wry neck… once I changed their feed and supplemented vitamins they got better. I didn’t want the feed to go...
My 10 week old lavender Orpington has been off the last 3ish days. I checked her feet, legs, back feathers, vent and felt as best as i could around her and i don’t see anything visibly wrong with her. She’s been acting lame, not walking long and then laying down, kinda limping at times, a bit...
