Found a female California quail in the road on the way home yesterday, stopped and scooped her up, I noticed immediately that she was having trouble with both her legs. Both of her wings however seem to be fine. We didn't think she would make it through the night but now that she has I'm...
Hello, I have a pet Cayuga duck named Big Mama who has dislocated her hip overnight. I have had this happen to a previous duck, and due to where I live (extremely rural island with no mainland access except boat) there is only one, very busy vet, and he was not able to see her within the 24 hour...
Today my 6 month old plolish rooster attacked my 5 month old Silkie mix…. I went out to check on the chickens and he was on top of her pinning her down and pecking her at her face. I kicked the rooster off and now have him separated in a kennel from the rest of my flock……. I’ve been trying to...
While I was out of town and hubby was minding the flock, my largest, heaviest cinnamon queen disappeared! She just showed up this morning! She has been gone 5 days! Needless to say, she has lost weight and looks awful! It looks like something grabbed her on her back, around the base of her...
Found my rooster with these weird bumps on his face, look kinda like bug bites to me, his behavior is normal and he seems healthy, none of the other chickens have the same sores but I went ahead and quarantined him just in case, anyone know what it is or what causes these kind of sores?

I am hoping to get some help regarding the injury of my chicken. We have a single chicken that was given to us when it was a chick. Yesterday, one of my family members found the chicken in its coop was injured and it had blood near its eyes and on its head. I wasn’t present when it happened but...
Im ready to toss the two nasty aunts and daddy duck into the frigging stew pot.
I gave away my ducklings, keeping the all white one. All was going well until yesterday when i noticed the drake chasing the bany (little over one month old).
This what i found this morning:
We have no vets...
Help me figure out what's up with my roo boy!
This is the second day in a row now that he has plopped out of the coop in the morning and takes encouragement to get up and move. His comb and wattles are turning pale and limp, and his feathers on his lower back area seem to be jumbled up...
We were giving the birds some treats when we noticed a lot of red. Our polish frizzle dislodged a toenail and was losing a lot of blood. I scooped her up, brought her inside, gave her a quick foot bath, wrapped her in a towel, and while applying corn starch and pressure the claw actually came...
I have 2 white pekins I believe one male and one female. Saturday morning my in laws came over for a visit and brought their dogs (I have 4 of my own none of which bother my ducks). When I woke up they were here first thing I do in the morning is go and care for them. Well my nephews were...
this is Spooky Moon. She lays like this often. On her side with one leg stuck outwards. She eats, drinks, poops, walks fine, runs around and plays with the others and then reaches a point where she just stops and lays down like this. Everything else is normal. Just that she lays funky. I’m...
I have 3 chicks and one is being a total bully. It picks on just one chick specifically. I didnt realize it could get this bad but while we were out one day the chick apparently beat up the other one so bad that blood was drawn and and we had to have the poor baby’s eye looked at. We separated...
HI i have a year old male pekin duck named billy. as of late he has been putting little to no weight on his left leg other than to walk which i can see is a struggle for him. when he stands still his left leg will start to turn inward more than usual as he starts to tip over but he tries to stay...
Checking my quail today I noticed that the smallest had a strange growth on its two feet, I'm sure it's not bubblefoot, they seem to be startled skin scales. the quail shows no discomfort when walking, it eats and drinks normally, I see that its feet seem redder than the rest. I checked my other...
We bought 25 chicks this spring and have discovered one possibly two roosters.
I’ve seen one starting pull feathers on some of the hens so I’m assuming it was him but one have my hens had a spot at the top of her tail feathers where they were plucked out. It was a bit bloody and I saw some...
This chick was hatched this morning. I’m thinking that the mother hen attacked it. Which really confuses me, because she loves her other chicks so much
and is very protective of them. But this one appears to have been attacked. We’ve also lost 2 others but they were dead when I found them. I’m...
My chick, River, is dragging her leg after a cat attack. She is not eating or drinking and we are syringe feeding her and using an eye dropper to give her water. We have been putting Neosporin and Vetricyn on the tiny wound. (It’s not bad) I really need help QUICK. What should I do. I’m raising...
Hi, I have had ducks for a few years now. My female Rouen I have had is part of my original flock (4 years). On Sunday I noticed she had a broken/sprained wing as it was hanging down, I caught her and examined it, she didn’t have any visible break but she also didn’t have any strength in it so I...
hi everyone I was just after a bit of information that possibly someone on here may know.
My little miss quail has injured her leg. She will not put weight on it at all and awkwardly hops on one leg to move (even though her food and water is right in front of her in her hospital box) 😒
Although...
I went to feed my pet quail this morning and found my silver one with a bloody head, skin pulled up (see images), and another with blood under the eye. I don't know what to do to help these guys and help is very much appreciated and needed.
