    Growth/tumor? Something on Quail's Head

    So, one of my hens has had this little growth on her head. And I just noticed today that there is a hole in the skin, and underneath its black, and looks like matted hair.... bird doesn't seem to be in distress, even when it's touched. Wondering if anyone has any thoughts as to what it is, or...

    Lavender Orpingtons same age but obvious head and comb size difference.

    Just looking for opinions. The one with smaller head does seem to be on bottom pecking order. I haven’t been able to see if she is laying yet. They are about 8 months old. I thought I could attach a video but guess not. I’ll try to take pictures tomorrow

    Camille is twitching her head, not drinking, not eating, lethargic

    Please give any advice as soon as possible, I don't think she will last long without some RAPID improvement. One of my hens, a RIR, has started having a severe problem. She was already mostly blind, and we have been keeping her inside with us. Until a few days ago she seemed happy and...

    Injured 5 Week Old Chick - Maybe blind

    Alright guys I need some help! One of our chicks got hurt last night and I’m not sure how. I think she may have shoved her head through the chicken wire of their coop and injured herself pulling it out but it’s just a theory. Anyway, this happened a little over 24 hours ago. I’ve got her inside...

    Only the head left - help!

    Hi all, this morning I woke up to find scattered feathers on the ground and the head of the victim on the other side of the yard. She was a young black bantam but robust fast and feisty. Her "sister", a silkie is now lonely and scared. It's my only remaining chicken. The gardner thinks the...

    Poultry lice on my hair!!!

    Sad story, but my Rooster suddenly died on me this morning. I'm like 85% sure he choked while eating. Especially since his comb and wattle was purple the moment i saw him thrashing around. Anyways, long story short, I went to go process him. I periodically check my flock for lice, but looks...

    Should Head-Flicking be a worry?

    My bantam has been flicking her head a lot lately and also her head is looking a bit pale. Her comb is purple because it's been dyed with gentian violet. Here's a video of the flicking. Should I be worried?

    Help! Failed Re-Integration into Flock, Hen Badly Hurt!

    Ok, so if anyone read my previous post a few months back one of my Leghorn hens wasn't feeling too well and I asked for advice and took her to the vet. She recuperated and was in better health at last and then came the real challenge: reintroducing her into the flock. It's been a back and...

    Help with duck with abscess

    last spring I got several khaki Campbells. Late summer I got a Muscovy drake from a lady and introduced him to the ducks. Until recently (3wks ago) he showed no real interest in them. Now he is mounting them repeatedly to the point that the back of one of the duck’s head started to swell. I’ve...

    Silkie chick balding head

    hi there! I’ve read about silkie chicks having head bumps, is this what this chick has? He or she is one of three and the biggest in size, and is the only one with the bald spot. Is this expected? Thanks so much :).

    Turkey - Eye pecked out!

    Help! I came home to find my bronze orlopp turkey (full size, and my favorite bird in my whole flock) sitting in the snow outside in their run with her head down.
