    My 9 mo old hen rolling like a football.. :-(

    December 1st I noticed she would lay in the corner on the floor of the coop. I didn't see anything to be concerned. Later I noticed she had a limp. I thought she may have been trampled. We have 2 guinea roosters that can play rough. I don't think they're bullies but they seem to be careless in...

    Eye infection in bantam chick

    Hi all. One of our bantam chicks has an eye infection. (What I think is conjunctivitis) I am putting her on an antibiotic and washing the eye out with warm water. Is there anything else I can do? Also, is it contagious or can she be reunited with the other chicks?

    Unknown deaths, what may be happening and where can rhode island get free necropsies?

    The only thing I know is that upon death the birds are only skin and bones, like they haven't been eating. Even though we feed them every day. We wormed them twice, but that didn't help, medicated them, but again that didn't help, treated for lice and mites, but again, not difference. All of...

    Sick chookie, possible respiratory illness?

    I've had my first 'flock' of two bantam chickens for about 4 months now, and they'd be about 8 months old - so I'm still very much a newbie.

    Sick Ducklings HELP PLEASE

    I NEED HELP!! EDIT: Could this be paint toxicity?! We painted the coop and the only thing I can think of that could’ve gotten them sick other than natural reasons is maybe they got into the paint? UPDATE #1: Black duckling is inside under the heat lamp, laying completely flat. Don’t think...

    Respiratory Illness? Serious?

    My 1-year-old Silkie Hen has had a swollen face the past few days. I just thought the mosquitos had gotten her, but I noticed today that she has thick white mucus in one of her eyes. And ideas as to what this could be? Should I separate her? Is it serious?
