    What is wrong with my duck?

    My duck has been breathing like this for a week now and it seems to get worse then it’ll be better but I’m worried now she isn’t going to make it. Could it be aspergillus exposure? I have 1 other duck and 5 chickens that are all perfectly fine. What can I do to help her?

    Help! My chicken could have a broken neck!

    This morning when I let out the chickens, I found my Brahma chicken lying on the ground. She cannot walk (when she tries, she falls over continually and panics) and her neck and head keep falling to her chest. Also, the right side of her face is bruised and marked.
