    Goose sudden illness/ seizure help

    I have 7 four month old African geese. Today one goose suddenly started to have neck spasms and twisting. She stopped before I could reach her, as they are free range, and walked off normally. She just did it again while I was changing their waters. So I was able to get a better look. She lays...

    Chicken Sneezing?

    I have a chicken named Stella who I have been noticing will sneeze. I’ve noticed it for the past week and a half or so. She’s 15 weeks old like the other chickens. It’s worrying me because all the things I see that deal with sneezing immediately seem to lead to a respiratory infection. I don’t...

    Chicken wheezing non stop, respiratory, worms, or something else?

    On Thursday we mowed the lawn and threw a lot of dust in the air since there isnt any grass right next to the coop. Friday after work I noticed my 5 month old chicken wheezing almost like an accordion and occasionally barks (see video). We also had a slight increase in temperature after several...

    Help! Scabs all over chicken

    A few days ago, I noticed our Delaware was losing feathers. She's a few months over a year so I thought she was having an off first molt and didn't notice anything on a cursory check. Yesterday, she was lethargic and drinking a lot of water. Upon checking her, I found horrible dark gray scabs...

    Hen with a swollen eye (with photo)

    Hello all, My hen has a swollen eyelid. I didn’t see anything stuck in her eye and I’m wondering if anybody knows what could be the cause —I’m hoping it is not related to a respiratory infection. She’s been healthy and is about four years old. She is acting normally, the only change in her is...

    Green Urate/Poop Death

    One of my coturnix quail dropped dead out of nowhere- perfect health, she was old, except I noticed green poop around the pen. The urate is green, I think, not the poop itself. Should I be worried about my other quail? What could cause this?

    Goslings act fine, but can’t walk...

    My ten day-old goslings are falling ill, and I don’t know of what or why. They are currently on a chick starter formula with supplemented brewer’s yeast- not optimal, I know, but it is what’s available to me. They’ve also been receiving fresh grass with chick grit, oyster shell, and occasionally...

    Is my chicken sick?

    My Silkie hen has been panting a lot, and no longer likes eating mealworms? She gets excited and kills them, but then just leaves them and shakes her head at them. I still see her eating seeds and other feed so it's not like she isn't eating at all. She's not sneezing, but her cluck does sound a...
