Help! My favorite girl was just attacked by a dog and I think her crop may have been severely injured. Needing some advice before I put her down. Does this look like her crop has been eaten away? Graphic pic!

So... I have been lurking on this site for quite some time throughout the 12 days i’ve owned ducklings. I am definitely one to freak out at the smallest sign of illness or issue in my animals- and I have SO MANY questions. Bare with me while i give some background but for now, i’m going to try...

If anybody can help!!! It’s very early in the morning and the smallest chick of my two week old clutch is too weak to stand, won’t open his eyes and is gasping periodically. He had an incident earlier where he was nearly killed ( as he is the runt) but he seemed to be doing okay up, walking...

I have a6 year old rooster that started limping a few weeks ago, thought nothing of it at the time since he had no noted injuries. Few days ago he is having very hard time walking as if his joints are painful, his wattles are swollen and he has dark spots on his comp/mild swelling as well. His...

I have a egg bound hen, she’s been acting weird since Thursday but it wasn’t until today that I realized that was why. Her abdomen is really hard, and she’s very lethargic and doesn’t really eat or drink. I read about soaking her in warm water and giving her some extra calcium and her own dark...

My chicken (unknown-mixed breed) that I recently rescued has always appeared in perfect health but this morning she started limping. She still has her appetite and she’s still sassy as ever, I thought she might have Bumblefoot and looked for all the tale-tell signs and didn’t see anything after...

I have a little one year old Silkie that I believe is egg bound. A few days ago I felt a Gary lump in her abdomen and I got really excited for her first egg... It's been a few days and still no egg. She's stopped eating a lot and she will barely walk. When I feel her abdomen the egg is...

hi there, This is my first time incubating and hatching all on my own. Other times was the agriculture class project at school a couple of years ago. I have one egg who has made a hole in is shell, I can see it’s beak and he is chirping away. It was like this for 2 days so I thought I should...

Hello. Yesterday we noticed that one of our girls had a protruding vent. We separated her from the other cleaned the area with warm water and salt and than applied honey and isolated her in a crate in the dark so she could heal. Well this morning my mom noticed she was egg bound and...

We had a snake crisis this afternoon. At about 3:00 I went to go feed our chickens and saw a black snake in our quail pen. It had already killed and ate one of our 10 quail. (We took this one down the road to relocate).We went to TSC to go get rabbit wire to replace the chicken wire on the quail...

I got my first chicks ever six days ago. I fed them some mealworms yesterday and today without realizing that they needed grit! I can go to the feed store first thing tomorrow to get some, but I'm really worried about them between now and then. Should they be fine between now and then? One of...
