The chick (Ghost) won't hardly eat and can barely drink. She can't stand by herself. She won't open her eyes. I'm not sure how to help her. She is in a brooder with a heat lamp but she has to share the heat lamp with the chicken in the box next to her. So it's probably not as warm as it needs to...
Someone please help me,
My birds have recently started losing feathers near the base of their tail. They are quite young, turning a year old next month. They have been laying a lot of eggs regardless of illness (all my birds have a history of so, the two that died in the past laid eggs on their...

i hate to ask for help but I’m pretty worried 😰
My chicken is a 3 year old wyandotte who began acting strangely roughly 2 days ago. She's been lethargic, puffing out her feathers, and not eating properly. I have not been able to inspect her poop as of yet. The strangest symptom is blood coming from her nose, but there is no injury to her...
So two of my emu eggs (day 57) were hatching and one came out with no compilations and is doing well but the other one I think rushed himself or hurt himself while coming out of the egg, he is bleeding and I think I see his intestines coming out from where is umbilical cord was, his egg was...
Hi all. So this pekin isn't mine, but stays in the stall with my fostered orphan goose. They've been together since my goose was still a gosling because she had a bad staff infection and had to be separated from her flock back in I believe April or the very beginning of the summer. They get...

When I saw my chicken this morning (11am I accidentally slept in) I noticed her comb was purple (only the top half.) What does this mean? What should I do? Yesterday she didn’t eat much food which is odd for her and she hasn’t laid an egg in over a week. Please help me. Her energy is good and...
My daughter found and rescued a neighborhood chicken. Owner said she thought it was dead for months. The other chickens had attacked it and chased it away. After getting warm and eating at our house, the hen perked up, and I thought there was nothing much wrong with her. She is very...
Hi I went in to my chickens coop this morning and I looked on The floor and I saw this. It looks like worms in a pile of bloody poo there was more but I must've stepped on it. Can anyone tell me what this means and how to treat it

Here's the timeline so far:

10 little duck eggs waiting to hatch. In lockdown.
Someone recommended glass gems or stones to better regulate heat. I have a large glass mug and three shot glasses. They also are holding water for humidity.
As always the incubator was full cleansed after last use.
Trying to watch the temp &...
So I had it all planned. Lol
One incubator, one crappy Styrofoam back up and as lockdown hatcher.
I had both set up to incubate eggs... then our eggs got the boot from the good incubator to make way for quail eggs. So...
We debated about buying another Styrofoam incubator --> but in all...

Hey everyone! I am new to this forum and this is my first year raising chickens - so I am pretty inexperienced. Yesterday I rescued a chicken from my husbands work. He works at an auto shop on a very busy road. She was there for at least a week. Chickens are not allowed in this area of town and...
