Monday I picked up three Cream Legbars from a local breeder. They were all hatched on Sunday and only a day old. They were all very close in size but one noticeably bigger and with that had the bigger personality. Tuesday I received a devastating shipment from MPC. The two surviving (Blue...
Hi, we have a sick Silkie named Creampuff that has become ill :(
She does not want to walk, her legs tend to push out when she stands, and she rolls over a tiny bit when she lays down. Other than that her abdomen seems a bit swollen and she seems very tired but still alert. I've tried looking...

Hello all! I have a sick hen. I noticed the last few days that she had been sitting around a lot, but didn't think much of it since it's been very hot. She was very responsive and would get up when I came out. Then yesterday morning I noticed she couldn't keep her balance. When she is standing...
I just noticed last night that my chicken of 4 years has a swollen eye and today when I checked on her it looked worse. I have read about people giving their chickens antibiotics but I am not able to get any. Is there anything else I can do? Is this fatal or will it clear up? Please help. Thank you.

About a month ago, before I knew about this website, I lost 13 bantam chickens/chicks and 7 brand new, just from the brooder, Silver Penciled Wyandotte's. I was devastated because I love my chickens and I hate losing them. there was only one time that I found a chick laying dead in run and it...
Today I found my 16 week chickens bleeding from their comb. One is pretty bad. I am having trouble identifying where the other one is bleeding from. I do not know what to do, this is my first flock of chickens. I have them separated and I attempted to wash their combs with warm water and a rag...
I have three little ducklings that have been doing amazing! They are growing fast. I use water bowls to give them their water, and since they are growing so rapidly, I changed their water bowl to a bigger size. When they saw the bowl they got terrified and wouldn't go near it even if I held them...
