emergency

Today there was a huge power outage in my area. It went from 7:30am to 3:15pm! At first I wasn’t worried, and put towels over my quail incubator, which had a day old quail baby, a quail egg that was hatching, one pipped egg and two externally pipped eggs. All seemed well, but then disaster...

I was incubating some quail eggs and all of them had hatched except one. I waited 5 days but there was still no signs of life, and it had a thick shell so I couldn't see anything when I candled it. I performed an eggtopsy but was still careful, just Incase it was still alive. I broke through and...

I already had a forum going for this but it hasn’t got much attention and this problem is still persisting. I have a baby chicken with a ruptured air sac which I have been treating for WEEKS now and it just isn’t healing. We went to a vet first thing and she said to just drain the air a few...

Hi! I have a pekin duck that has had a severe niacin deficiency since I got it as a duckling. She’s about three months old. I was giving her duck pellets with brewers yeast and liquid b3. But she’s gotten to the point where she can’t walk. She was flipping onto the back of her feet and getting...

I have a four year old hen who has been sick for the last week and a half. Her face and comb are purple but don't look swollen up and she's breathing very heavily, especially when she's sitting down. She's been acting sluggish but she's still been eating and drinking, although a little less than...

My hen's eye has been closed this past week & we've been treating her with Terramycin & Saline water in her eye. Only the right eye is closed & she only opens it when I pick her up, managed to get a picture of it. Left eye is perfectly fine. She's doing this weird jerking in her head which I'm...

Recently my coturnix quail developed a squinty, irritated eye. Now I found his ear covered in a scab-type material with his ear hole clogged. I cleaned the area with saline and applied a little bit of Triple Polysporin, but I didn't want to dig anything out of his ear just in case. My regular...

I am trying to hatch my first couple ducks. Friday afternoon both my eggs pipped and yesterday my first duck hatched perfectly fine and is doing great. Today my second duck hatched and it appears to still have it's yolk. It's legs don't look right either, it can't walk. I'll attach pictures...

This flock of barred rocks are not yet a year old, but they have reached laying maturity and have been laying for a few weeks now. One of them had a poopy butt which I thought was normal because their was no evidence for vent gleet. Tonight I found a hen shaking underneath the coop's house/roost...

I was trimming my chickens nails with a dremel, holding her on her side. I was holding one leg while my girlfriend was holding the other because that was the only way to keep her from kicking. She started panting but i figured it was normal because she was scared/ Hot. I kept it under 5 minutes...

1) partridge cochin, about 3 days old, just mailed to us 2) smaller, weaker, would burrow under others but seemed disoriented, bumping into brooder wall, open closing beak, sort of lunging head forward for a sec, keeps eyes closed most of the time (more so today), vent was blocked but I cleaned...

Started noticing him yesterday just standing there, he's got a bit of foam on his beak. Any suggestions on what it could be? All other chickens are fine and those are his only symptoms.

Woke up this morning. Did my usual routine. Come to sit at my desk in my room and notice this dust stuff everywhere. Okay here I conclude it’s just because the chicken feed bag is on top of the desk and maybe the dust got everywhere. I’m sitting here looking at my black phone screen and notice...

I have 8 chickens - 6 are about 8 months old, and 2 are over 2 years. Let me preface by saying I went to get feed yesterday and accidentally bought pellets when I usually get crumble. I threw it all away because I fear this killed and made them sick somehow. I've given them crumble every day...

Help, my duck seems to be trying to lay an egg, but she laid this I believe??? She’s been really broody lately and I’m worried. What is this, and how can I help her?

I have 7 eggs. 3 hatched today— day 21. But the other 4 just stopped. No pips, peeps, movement, nothing since approximately 12-1pm. It’s 4:22pm now EST. Hatching with a broody. What could possibly be happening? Did they die??? What do I do? First time btw. Thanks in advance!

Wrong forum I know, but I can’t get my email to work to sign up for any other rabbit forum or BYH. My doe has been having trouble with nesting and kindling. She did not make a nest and ended up having her first kit on the cage floor, so I took it into the house to warm it up because it was...

I have one about two-week-old Jumbo Brown Coturnix quail chick that has a leg/foot injury. I'm not sure what's wrong with him/her. S/he is really, really strong. S/he walks (hobbles) around to get food, water, and gets where it is warm, but s/he isn't walking like the other ones. We bought...

Hello, I bought a couple dozen month old quail, last sunday and they seemed to be doing fine until I checked on them this morning and one of them was on it's side in the corner, I picked it up and it could barely walk, I seperated it and put it in it's own crate, but it died a couple hours ago...

Someone please clarify. Pretty sure My hen is egg bound. I've read the page about giving her calcium citrate +D3 and Epsom salt baths. I'm not sure if I can get the kind from Walmart for people, or if the CC+D3 has to be a chicken type. Google Is no help, please Someone point me in the right...
