My roosters leg recently went limp, but now he has movement in his hip. However, his leg has started to heal pointing inward underneath him and it is crossing over his good leg so it makes even hopping difficult. He doesn't seem to be in pain. He's eating, drinking, and when I set him out for a...
My Barnevelder hen is very unwell. She has always been more to herself and not very friendly but I noticed her staying completely by herself a couple days ago. Was able to catch her and she feels very thin and lethargic. Her poop is green pellet like and watery. I have recently dewormed all...

I have RED MITES!🐞🤢
I am deeply worried about mites because I have been googling them and it seems like the one thing I keep seeing over and over is that they are impossible to get rid of and that they can be deadly to...
I am not a chicken specialist by any means but my family’s flock had a sick rooster they finally told me about after he had been sick two and a half days and I don’t know what it is.
He is in the prime of his life
His chest/crop area feels like a water balloon
His legs look bad and are stiff

Hello all!
My duck is 7 months old and started laying on july 20. She was egg bound with her first egg and after that was laying normally. After her tenth egg, she started experiencing some worrying symptoms such as shaking, excessive panting, wings twitching (a bit spread out as well), raspy...
We’ve had this chicken for almost a year now and it’s leg or I think it is the knock is bending outward when she puts pressure on it.I need to know what this is and how to fix it, please we’re running out of time. We took it to the vet and it has no broken bones. If you need any more information...
Hi friends,
This may be a bit of a strange one...the UK government sure think it is anyway.
I am a duck Mom to two beautiful scovy boys who will be 4 soon. Due to health reasons, I have to move back to the UK from Canada and can't imagine my life without them. I've hand raised them since they...

Last night one of my drakes was attacked by a raccoon. All of the feathers and skin have been ripped off of the back of his neck, I'm not sure if the same goes for the front. I also believe that he is now blind in one eye as I can see his right eye socket stick out from his head. He's not moving...
My Silkie chick hatched on the 18th, and today it’s starting to shake its head. Do anyone of you guys know if it’s a disease or something that should be fixed?

My silkie hen was attacked by something today (12/27) around 12pm is when I found her. she has a very large "hole" in the back of her neck. I believe that I can see blood vessels and her trachea/esophagus (whichever one sits in the back of the neck). she is alive and...
Good day to all, I found a Gosling on our relatives farm with bowed legs and it was in a very bad condition. I started feeding it a starter diet, she is doing much better now but her legs are still bowed. I have done some research and found that it can be due to a niacin deficiency.
How can I...
Hi! I've never hatched an egg in general so this is a first - I've always wanted to hatch a duck myself and was given fertile egg from a farm I volunteer at (it's an Indian runner).
The temperature has been fluctuating between 37.3 and 37.7 but it's set to 37.5.
On day 10 I did mist the egg...
So, I had 6 duck eggs in an incubator and about 4 of them died early on. 2 of them hatched but 1 of the 2 died when I was gone. Now the other one is alone and constantly crying out for a momma or sibling but I cant always be with it. I’d love to give her to her original mom but that’s how the...
Hey everyone!
So back in late august I noticed 3 of my hens’ laying slowed down. Then in September it completely stopped. They were growing noon feathers and losing feathers (especially large wing feathers). Now, those three hens haven’t laid, except for maybe 3 eggs, one or two a broken/soft...

I have a female BB Turkey that has stopped eating and I'm currently at my wits end on what to do. I do not feel any blockage in her crop. She was recently dewormed with the SafeGuard goat dewormer. She does not have sour crop. She drinks a lot of water, so much so that it collects in her...
I found a chick in my coop this morning that had hatched and died, and I suspect my broody hen had something to do with the death, so I took a pipping egg from her to try to hatch and save the chick on my own, but I have no incubator and have never hatched eggs before.
I’ve been sitting with a...
