Hello everyone, my 2 saddles just arrived today and I tried it first on my EE (easter egger) and she seemed to feel pretty uncomfortable at first. She kept on itching the elastic straps around her wing for like 5-6 minutes, but now she is currently not scratching that much anymore and I THINK...
Hello everyone, my rooster has been recently aggressive with my 3 hens when it comes to mating. I found out to buy a saddle for them and it's coming in 2 days! But the problem is I'm not sure if it will fit on my leghorn and will my leghorn like it? I know that one of my easter eggers will...
So I have a disabled chicken, she has no top beak. I hand feed her twice a day with measured amounts. Shes eating less as the weather warms up but she's begun a new habit- she won't eat until around 8-9am. I want to feed them before work but she just won't eat. Comes out of the coop looking...
Hello everyone, I have 4 cute chickens and one of them "Smiley" (Leghorn) acts like she is broody but I'm not quite sure though. It's very rare for leghorns to be broody from what I know. She has been clucking a little and puffing her feathers out whenever I come close to her, BUT she does NOT...
I've got two chickens in the BC heat wave right now, it's supposed to get between 46C to 48 C in the next couple days, (114 F to 118 F ). I've got three waterers out that are regularly changed throughout the day to keep cool, and one of them is a pan shallow enough to walk through. There's...
Hello everyone. I think my chicken might be paralyzed. Since yesterday it doesn't move... I thought it might be because it is hot, but again her little chicks are fine and she is the only one who isn't moving. I put her somewhere not hot but still she didn't seem to get up. What can I do to help...
Hello everyone, I came on here to ask for help for my poor rooster! I went out this morning seeing my easter egger rooster's ear covered in blood. A little of the blood was on his cheeks/muffs. Then I found out that one of his foot's nails had little blood on it too. I was very concerned, making...
My roster is now 3 months and it's getting up to mid 90s-100 F where I'm located. Just yesterday I noticed that he pooped diarrhea like and now he's pooping out this white liquid. I have also noticed his comb and wattle seem to have a sort of yellowish orange fade and that he sits down a lot...
I found a baby chick on the brink of death. I brought it in my home but idk what to do.
The chick can’t stand and can barely hold its neck up. Its still breathing and all Im doing right now is keeping it warm. I have no experience with chickens but this little one is too cute to let go
I am currently hatching some chicks and I noticed that this one was a little different. This chick has a red vein? Lassoed around its foot which does not allow it to walk properly. It is a newly hatched chick. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what to do and what it is! Thank you so much!!!
I recently saw my sister's chicken, Beb, limping around. I picked her up and checked her foot to see some sort of 'scab'. It might be bumblefoot, but since I'm a new chicken owner, this is my first case of whatever this is. Based on basic images, I can't decide whether it is or not, and what to...
Oh gawd in my last thread I told you about the quail with a broken leg (please view my last thread should be called quail with broken foot). Everyone said not to worry and just wait it out. I put him back with his friends. Today I was watching them and I saw his eye like this. I immediately...
My dad was refilling the food in the quail food. As he closed the door, a quail tried to run through. The leg was squished. It’s been a few hours since this happened. I’m not sure if this is a broken leg or not, but it’s become swollen. He just sits and doesn’t evade my hand. He does kick and...
My 2 months old rooster has been drooping intestinal shed a lot. He is eating and drinking water. Water is coming out of his peck when drinking water which I'm confused if its normal. He has red parts in his feet. Today in the morning was the first time I've heard him roasting. He is very active...

Hey! So one of our birds is very lonely. She's a Silkie. We have 5 other girls but the 3 that she grew up with well, one sadly died of heat stroke and the other was a rooster and was too aggressive so we had to give him away. Now she's always getting kicked out the coop, they won't let her eat...
I'm a first time new mom of two little ducklings. I learned about teflon poisoning from deep diving a few forums and am now super worried. We cooked with some non-stick pans but not at high heat and we tend to keep windows open and the stove top vents on when cooking. Should I be worried? I'm...
Hi, my name is Stephanie and I have some pet chickens, recently I had a serious problem with my chickens, one is showing symptoms that resemble shortness of breath, where I live there are no veterinarians who work with chickens, I have already treated for gapeworm, I am giving antibiotics, but...
I was checking on my quails and one appeared to not move. This was not normal as the quails are very scared of me so they’ll usually be running around, like dodging my hand but now this quail was just laying down, so I just went over and tried to pick her up and she didn’t respond at all. she...
