Hello! A few days ago my hen kept closing her left eye. A few days later a white film grew on her eye. Any ideas of possible ailments?(and treatment) I separated her from my other quails for the moment. Pictures provided below :)
Hello all, I have a silkie hen who hatched 5 chicks on April 8th she raised them and stayed by their side until they were 9 weeks old then she went back to just being a sweet little hen she went broody again about 3 weeks ago however I do not want any more chicks this year so she has no eggs to...
Please someone help. I have a hen, around 15 weeks old. She started acting oddly a few days ago, being very lethargic, gasping for air, and not eating much. We thought it might be the heat, and brought her inside for a few days. I checked her crop to see if it’s impacted and it’s not. Now about...
I'm a teen so everything I do has to been monitored/allowed if I want to do it, so does anyone know how to convince my parents to let me start gardening?
If they say yes, I'll get at most 1 acre to garden. I want to get some herbs, basil, oregano, ones like that. Maybe some vegetables. We...
Hello all, My hen has once again gotten sick, None of my other hens have gotten sick so I’m not as experienced as most of you when it comes to diagnosing but so far I’ve noticed she’s been avoiding eating, her crop was soft and squishy when I took her out this morning, she’s been pooping as...
So, I had 5 old english game bantams in the incubator, hatch day is today. Today 3 of the 5 hatched. Just a few minutes ago the 4th hatched but it has a little bit of yolk sac still exposed. The chick is acting fine and it hatched completely on its own. I am going to leave it in the incubator...

I’ve just got into raising chickens and I have a feeling I’m starting to see some roos…… I have 2 silkies and 2 polish - I for sure think the black silkie is a roo due to the flyers out the back of his head. But I’m so so sooo confused on the white Polish chick because I’ve seen photos go both...
Yesterday we got a couple new girls from a local that could no longer keep them. Today I noticed one seems to have pretty bad vent gleet. Or at least I think that is what it is, I have never felt with it before. She is pooping fine no blood or concerns and laying fine. What are your...
i got some duckling a few weeks ago I noticed one of them sneezing and has nasal discharge. I’m getting kind of concerned and I texted a vet tech I know, so we will see what she says but does anyone have any suggestions? Do I take them to a vet? Is there any at home remedies?
Today is day 29. The duckling piped yesterday but the pip never went all they way through. It only cracked the top layer of the egg and there was like a plastic layer. I noticed that the duck was constantly pecking at that plastic looking coat for over 12 hours. So I helped it and opened it a...
Hi. About two days ago I was gifted a baby chick, I named her hamlet. I set up her little place in a box with newspaper, water and rice (we didn't have any feed), hamlet just layed down and slept. Few moments later she started drinking water and became more alert, chirping loudly and ate some of...

HELP! I have a 10 day old duck who is looking quite unwell. I have encountered this before with my previous duckling, who died after about 5 or so hours, and symptoms include: at first, standing unsteadily - they often have to sit down; refusing to eat or drink; putting head down as if they...
I checked her butt for injuries, but I found nothing. I believe the blood is coming from the inside. I separated her from my other chicken and I sprayed Vetericyn on her butt. She is still acting like her normal self but she walks slightly slower because of the pain. I checked on her right now...
Hey y’all,
My chicken just started limping today and her foot is all swollen because of bumblefoot. I soaked her feet in epsom n water for 10-15 and I dressed her feet with antibacterial and gauze. It said that I have to pick out the black ’plug’ after the soak but I didn’t do that because it...
