    Help (injured quail, possibly graphic photos)

    Hello, I need some help with what to do with my quail. She had a head injury and had half her scalp pecked off. It was hanging on barely as a flap and I cleaned her up and gave her a bandaid hat to keep it clean and everything in place. I expected that as she healed it would re-attach (I had...

    Chicks hatched with unabsorbed yolk!

    It appears that my broody hen "helped" two chicks hatch today by pecking their shells away after they creating the first external pip. This resulted in both having a partially unabsorbed yolk, one is a little bloody, and one has a head injury (probably from an accidental peck). They are...

    Chicken Shut in Coop Door!

    So one of my teenage chicks was trying to escape the coop as my sister was leaving and got herself shut in the door...at first we thought she had a broken neck and wasn't going to make it but she then was able to move just fine so we threw out that idea. However, there was a lot of blood around...

    Hello, I have 9 muscovy ducklings ranging in age from 5-7 weeks. Last night our pet ferret escaped from the house, made her way to the duck coop, and attacked one of our ducklings. The duckling, named Eggy, was bitten on the back of it's head. There are no large chunks missing but he does have...

    Cockeral With a Head Wound (pictures included)

    When I went out to the coop earlier tonight I peeked inside and saw one of my roos (his name is Finn) on the bottom roost, which is unusual for him. When I looked closer I saw he had blood all over his comb and face, some dried and some fresher. When we got him inside he was in shock and didn't...

    Quail with lump on head?

    I am concerned about my coturnix quail. She lives in the bottom of my aviary with four other quails; three are her daughters who she's just finished raising, one is a rescue I introduced yesterday. They are all girls (only one I'm not 100% sure about). I just noticed however that she has a lump...

    Help! Will he live?

    Our rooster got attacked the night before last. By a opossum we believe. I was running late for work in the morning so they didn’t get checked until 1:30pm. They always still have food and water so I wasn’t worried. When I found him he already had maggots in the wound, we cleaned him up as best...

    Head injury on rooster

    We just rescued 7 roosters a few days ago and it seems that 6 of them think that the 7th is a hen. This does make sense because none of them have ever seen a hen. This poor guy has a huge hard bump on the top of his head where the other roosters keep trying to grab him when they attempt to mount...

    5 yr. Hen injured, now has dislocated beak

    So my 5 year old Easter Egger was picked up by my mother about 2.5 ft. above the ground before she fidgeted and tumbled out of her arms, and landed on her back in the grass and rolled over onto her feet. I examined her face and neck area and she seemed perfectly fine - no signs of injury as far...

    My 2 month old chicken head injured

    She got her head stuck between 2 walls in our coop and the back of her neck looks scraped off basically. How should I go about treating this so it doesn’t get infected?

    Injured rooster

    I woke up this morning to my rooster pretty banged up but only on his head and comb. His eyes are shut from the shock I presume. I have given him water and electrolytes and cared for the wounds what would do damage like this only to his head area?? He is in a coop and run and only with 2 hens...

    My Chicken is Twisting Her Neck and Seizing.

    So, my two year old chicken went blind about six months ago after hitting her head. I was taking care of her, she was eating and drinking on her own, but still had head injury because of that. Well, about three weeks ago she flew out of the grazing pen that I would leave her in so she could...

    Ive recently hatched two silkie chicks out of 10 eggs. One of them really loves pecking the other one on the head, it had been happening since they first hatched, 4 days ago i noticed the one getting pecked acts really weird. He often tilts his head side by side weirdly like it was heavy or...

    (Warning photos attached) Head injury on chick caused by older chicks and hen - worried about brain

    Hi! I recently had a couple chicks hatch in the coop and I found one with a slight head injury so I brought it inside. It somehow wiggled itself into the older chicks side of the brooder and they attacked it while I was out. The wound is pretty significant. They pecked at the entire head and it...

    Have you seen this before? Head injury shock

    My silkie cockerel jumped up startled and banged his head on a bench, he flailed on the floor for a minute and since then (over an hour) has been unconscious but as if he is fast asleep roosting. His head is upright, his feathers are fluffed like he's on his perch and he snuffles his beak like...
