    Infection in hens face near ear?

    I noticed 4 days ago a small lump on one side of my 7 month old Blue Andelusion hen’s face. I went out of town, returned tonight. I went to check on her and it’s increased in size, and is affecting her ability to open her eye all the way. The other side of her face is completely normal. I...

    Duck foot injury / illness, need advice

    Recently the humidity has been harder to control in my duck house than usual, and now my boys feet don’t look good. I’m assuming the humidity + cold has done it, or helped do it ? I don’t fully believe it’s bumble foot as some of these cut like things have a scaly / ridged sort of texture. I...

    My recovering rooster - need tips to fight cabin fever

    Hi all! I have an injured rooster with a fractured femur, and he is living inside for the winter in a large dog playpen. His recovery is actually going quite well and he is in good spirits, but I think he is (understandably) bored. Any ideas for how to keep him from going nuts while he...

    URGENT: Torn Skin and a Need for Advice

    About six days ago my girl was mauled and I have been tending to her wounds, one of her injuries was the first layer of skin being ripped off her. What I didn’t notice was she has a very deep flap hiding the second layer of skin that is detached from the second. It looks quite nasty. Our vet is...

    Injury or cooties?

    Today I noticed my little Queen walking sideways. At first I thought she was about to sprawl out in the sun but I noticed her eye is very wet. She isn't displaying any sneezing or sniffles, is walking around fine, but her eye is SUPER wet. Trying to get a good still image of her one handed was...

    Earlier today, a chick by the name of Mazzio (it could have been a different one) a door accidentally smashed on the poor chick’s toe, breaking the bone. We had to amputate the tiny toe, since it was only hanging on by a thread of skin. The poor chick (who’s name we changed to Bethany, like...

    Goose Eye Injury?

    Hello everyone! Long time since I've posted but I have a question for anyone that might know what's going on with an eye of one of my white embden geese.

    Huge Rat Attacked Quail at Night

    Story: So I go outside to check on my flock since I’m kind of traumatized (more paranoid than traumatized) to make sure the previous incident doesn’t happen😢, and I check on all: they’re good, I think till I was about to leave but I think why not check my solo quail buddies (have been trying to...

    Muscovy ducks plucking each other's wings?

    I just noticed an issue with my young Muscovies plucking each other's wings. They'll reach out and grab another birds wing and yank the feathers out in the process. A few were bleeding. 😬. What should I do about this and why are they doing this. I've never had this issue before?

    New Arrivals (Few toe injury pics for those squeamish)

    Gday everyone, yesterday I went out country to pick up some fresh stock of quail. Being in the urban region makes me envious of those types that can run a large farm like this breeder had. I probably picked up a few more male quail than I was supposed to! I was distracted by all the quail flying...

    Rooster Leg Injury Not Healing (pics included)

    Have had this boy for many years - he's a good roo. Sadly, a few months back a predator got into the coop and killed three of my girls. Was either a racoon or a mink, as it just ripped their heads off. RooRoo must have done some defending, as he's been limping ever since. I couldn't see any...
