eyes

Please help! I don't know if you help with ducks but I need advice. I've had a duckling for about 4 weeks (is about only four weeks and a few days old),Lilou, and today I got another to be its companion. The new one, Cosmos, is much smaller and only about one week old. But Lilou keeps pecking...

All, I’ve never seen this before in lots of years with hens. Our Welsummer hen is noticeably breathing using muscles in the neck/?? not sure, but I think it might be that neck air sac expansion and contraction is very obvious. The rest of the flock is fine/ not showing any similar signs. In...

Hi hi Is this wet feather? The ducks take a while to dry after but i have a space heater blowing warm air. I read if this happens to wash them with Dawn so they can restart the preening process. Thoughts? Also i assume this is a blood feather. Are they normal and okay as long as it doesnt...

My chickens eyes have crusted over and we’ve had 2 of our usual eggs today!! Some chickens have 2 eyes crusted some only have one and some have none but I need to know what’s wrong. My dad keeps saying it’s dust but that dosent justify the egg drop so I feel like there’s something more. We have...

I have one approx 10 week old buff orpington that readily goes for my eyes if she is close enough. I am now recovering from a scratched cornea. I know that she is just pecking at a shiny object and not purposely trying to hurt me but the others don't do that. I now wear safety glasses if she...

Hi all, I'm very new to chicken ownership so obviously I haven't seen this before, but my boyfriend is pretty experienced with chickens and he hasn't seen it either. Our hen (she's young, rhode island red, not sure about her exact age but definitely under 6 months. Still hasn't laid her first...

Has anyone ever notice how almost all chickens eyes are orange and yellow?

How well do you know your Animals? Of course almost everyone has been outside in the dark with a flashlight. And if it is held just right at the perfect level, animal's eyes will reflect back a color. Example: I wear a head strap light at night now because of the shorter days and day light...

I have noticed my Australorps closing their eyes seemingly at random. I have also noticed sneezing, but that seems to be while eating, so not so worried about that. Could this be as simple as the wind or sun in their eyes? Or something else?

I noticed last night that one of my Isa Brown hens (1yr and 4 mos) had 2 almost completely gray iris. She walked around seemingly fine except in medium sized circles. In the coop, she was able to find the roost after bumping into it and hopped up to go to bed. This morning, I noticed my second...

I adopted a 5 month old pullet today (copper maran) that has an obvious eye disease but I am unable to google and identify the cause. Hoping I can get help here. One eye is encased in a hard shell of discharge the other is still supple (I have put some antibiotic vet eye cream on it so it...
