Hello,
I have a five-year-old hen who I just noticed at the beginning of this week was extremely thin and seemed to have an impacted crop. I treated the crop with olive oil and massages and the impaction seemed to clear. However, today when I was giving her a bath, I felt a hard, fist sized lump...
I have a one year old hen that had sudden onset of one eye lid that has either swelled or looks a bit like pytosis. It is slightly swollen. I rinsed her eye out with a saline wash. No scratches or debris. No crusting or discharge. I added a Vetericyn ophthalmic gel. Any other thoughts?
Best...
I had a pullet, yesterday, have breathing issues with obvious labored breathing, beak open. After 15 minutes she promptly died. I have 27 other pullets and hens. None of them show any signs or symptoms of distress. Could this one pullet have been prisoned? This will be our 3rd pullet who died...

Hello all,
I just noticed today that one of my cockerel’s wattles seems to have a pocket of something (blood, puss, idk) and was wondering if there’s anything I should do for it. There’s a spot on the wattle where it looks like it could have been scratched, it was bleeding earlier, and it got...
My favorite hen (not even a year old yet) stopped laying eggs about a month ago-- I thought it was probably the August heat. But over the last couple weeks she's gotten worse... she's stopped eating and drinking and has neon green, stringy, super smelly poop. Her pupils are constantly dilating...
hi! my one and a half year old female fawn runner had a normal poop (blue from blueberries lol) and something small, yellow and slimy came out with it. i thought upon first looking that it was a small slug, because it looks and feels like one, but she hasn't eaten any slugs that i know of (we've...
My chicken is one year's old I got her when she was probably 4 months old. every since I've had her she has had this weird growth. It is not growing off of her eyelid it is growing from underneath the actual eyeball and it is pushing its way out forcing the lower eyelid down because it's...
So we recently hatched some tuxedo quail chicks from an incubator about a week ago and they were all doing fine. But this morning we noticed one laying down and not walking as much as the others and now he is barely walking, he was fine yesterday! He is using his wings to support himself when...
Found a hurt undomesticated pigeon underneath a car. It's left leg is broken/splayed.
The nearest wildlife rehabilitation center already has 300 pigeons in care -- for this pigeon to be accepted, I'll have to issue a $100 donation. Splint surgery at an animal hospital is also costly. I would...
so on friday (it’s monday) my duck mushu was found in the evening injured and covered in fly eggs. i used a lice comb to get most of the eggs off, but a few straggling maggots made their way into her head wound, which seems to go down to the bone. it is located right between her eyes and right...
Hi. I just went in to check on my quail and one who for the past week and a day couldn't walk has a big infection or SOMETHING on her! I thought it was minor since since she had once before hurt her leg but it was fine in a few days. But then I saw slight red coloration on her feathers and cut...
She won't stop bleeding now from her beak and she's so small it's so much blood for her and corn starch won't stick and I don't know what to do.
She's smearing it everywhere, I think she lost touch blood she sounds like she's having trouble breathing or something I'm not sure.
Edit: she laid an...
HELP!!
My hen today/ last night started acting weird. She usually argues over a spot on the roost before bed with our one other girl but didn’t last night which was good but unusual itself.
Then this morning has been sluggish and walking low to the ground. We were worried she was egg bound...
