I’ve got a frizzle chicken that because of her past experience with chickens she is an honorary duck and has decided to hatch out three duck eggs. She has been very good at sitting on them everyday and today is supposedly hatch day. I candled them a week ago to make sure they were still alive...

This is my first time ever hatching in an incubator. It’s day 21 and two eggs have pipped so far, but one of them has blood leaking from the crack. Not pouring out by any means, but enough that it’s easily noticeable from such a tiny crack. Should I intervene? Leave it alone and see what...

We just hatched a baby chick in my class, and it seems like one of its legs isn’t working properly, but it’s can still move. The chick was stuck in the egg for about 3 days, but she did get out. It has had a couple good drink of water, but now is peeping because she can’t get up. We think her...

I have two ducklings that I just got a day ago from tractor supply. One is completely fine, but the other is stumbling and every time he exhales I’m hearing a singular click. It all started today and he was fine about an hour before this all started happening. I checked his legs and feet for any...

This baby chick is a crested polish. I am unsure what is happening but the chick is chirping really loudly as if it was fine but it can’t move, it’s legs are really numb. What can I do?

I’m not sure if my chicken is egg bound, she has been panting/breathing heavily with her mouth CLOSED, she’s been walking wobbly always behind the other chickens through she seems very enthusiastic trying to catch up but her body is struggling. I’m not sure when was the last time she laid an...

Hello, I've got a 10 1/2 month old Andalusian looking hen, who feels very eggbound and full, named Billie Joe. We noticed last Sunday afternoon when we'd picked her up. She's been separate from the other chickens in dog crate with plenty of pine shavings, water, and food. Billie Joe circles and...

PLEASE HELP!!! I just brought home a wynodette baby with splay leg and I bandaged it with vet wrap. She won’t stop crying and she won’t stand all the way up… please please help!

Hi, recently one of my 2 year old hens passed away after a necropsy and testing another hen. Both tests show that have/had mereks disease. I know most people typically vaccinate chicks as soon as possible, unfortunately in this case I do not believe they were vaccinated. I’ve seen a lot of back...

The chick keeps kicking its feet forward and touching its head and refuses to try to put pressure on their legs. It been doing this from day one, it hatched while we...

So last night my family came home with 8 WILD EGGS! I don’t remember where they said they found them but it was covered in dirt. We tried candling it before realizing we have no clue on what means what when candling. My cousin decided to open one very slightly. It was only a small crack. That’s...

I have 9 chicks in total the 1 I'm referring to is a Lavender Orphintan who is not doing well. They recently have started refusing food or water so I'm using a syringe to feed them. They are a quarter size of the others I have. They can't walk and I noticed 1 of there leg joint seems swollen and...

So periwinkle has something going on with her foot and as far as I can find, I haven’t seen any cases of bumblefoot that look like hers. Two of her toes are like short and fat with a hard black scab on the tips. We are about to suit up for surgery unless anyone thinks it could be something...

Hello, I need some help with my chicken. She has been laying some pretty weird eggs for about 4 months. They are wrinkly but hard (I will post pictures). But today I noticed that when she was pooping there was this white thing hanging out of her vent. I tried to investigate but it got sucked...

Hi, I'm wanting to get into breeding chickens, but I've never tried anything outside of casually letting by broodies hatch whatever eggs they found. I can order some American white Bresse chicks, but kind of want to try crossing them with something that grows bigger. I'm looking to keep the...

I have a less than 1-year-old rooster who has black spots all over his comb and the back of his head has been pecked at by one of our other roosters. His comb was sort of purple only at the tip about a week ago and we weren't sure what was wrong, recently it turned black and is more widespread...
