    Hen fight, one harmed, how to help her

    I was putting my chickens to sleep today when I noticed that two of them had bloody beaks and one had a bloody crest. I went and separated the one with the bloody crest and brought her inside my house. How can I treat the wound properly? I have a lot of antibiotic creams but nothing chicken related.

    Do I need to take my rabbit to the vet?

    Hey, I am almost entirely positive that my three-year-old giant angora rabbit has Weepy-Eye. He has been lethargic, and has refused to eat anything that isn't sugary other than alfalfa pellets. I checked his teeth and gums; they all look great. His nose isn't runny and looks good. But his eyes...

    My chick has an eye problem

    This chick of mine got pecked really badly by its mother on the scalp when it was younger. I'm talking about nearly losing its scalp. I managed to save it, and it's been doing really well. Eating, drinking, and overall just behaving like a chick. I've noticed that its eye became foggy. I assumed...

    I think my Rabbit is sick

    Hey, can anyone help me determine whether or not I should take my rabbit to the vet? He is a three-year-old Giant Angora named Wimmy, and I've had him for almost a year. He hasn't been super active in the first place, but I have hardly seen him out of a laying position. I haven't seen him eating...

    I’m completely new. I don’t own any button quails yet but I want to know what to expect. Where should I get them? What food should I get for them? What should their enclosure look like?

    My darkling Beatles look so weird.

    I don't believe this is normal? And it's the majority of them. They're half pupa and half Beatle? (Alot of them were without food and oats for a long time so I'm thinking it has something to do with nutrition? ) Can I fix them or is it a deformity. I also have like a few more mealworms (around...

    Pregnant pig or just in heat?

    Hi everyone we recently adopted a pot belly from someone getting rid of all their animals due to a bad divorce. We've had her about 23 days now and her lady parts have started turning red and swelling and I feel like she's gotten bigger since the day we got her. How can I tell if she's pregnant...

    Help! Hen is sick/dying

    When I got up this morning to let out my chickens, I found one on the floor not being able to move. I brought her in immediately and tried to find out what was wrong. I don’t think she’s egg bound because she just pooped a few minutes ago. And I don’t think it’s bumblefoot stopping her from...

    What should I give my chicken

    I have a polish rooster, he is still young but I see he’s having problems. When I check his crop it’s never full and I can feel bits of food but very little. He’s also been sneezing a lot.

    Chicken wobbly - found hole on butt

    One of my girls nearly fell over when I gave her pets yesterday so I brought her inside to see why she was unstable on her feet. I found a big hole on her butt. I cleaned her as best as I could and have kept her inside away from my other girls so she stays warm, calm and clean while I try to...

    Hard lump in Pullet’s neck! Impacted Crop? Please help.

    This is our Phoebe, a 12-week-old Buff Orpington pullet. Recently, our coop got attacked by an owl and we lost one. Ever since then, Phoebe’s been acting strange (lethargic, quiet, weirdly dilated eyes). We chalked it up to her being traumatized, as we recently learned chickens can get mental...

    Rooster bleeding/broken blood feather?

    My rooster was covered in blood yesterday on his left side. I investigated the coop and found nothing that could have caused it so I took him inside to rinse him off and get a better look. There is a big hole that looks like where a large flight feather used to be. I've tried cornstarch, plain...
