    Lethargic hen

    Hey all, One of my hens appeared especially lethargic today (seemed totally fine yesterday). Lots of standing still with her eyes closed, and little interest in food. When her eyes are open, they do appear bright, and she is responsive to gentle pokes. It's pretty cold here (23 F), so I've...

    Sick Peach Golden?

    My male peach golden pheasant is 2 years old. Always been healthy, he’s recently started throwing his head backwards and his feathers are ruffled and keeps eyes closed. I originally thought gape worm, but I’m not sure that’s it. He’s been given dewormer. It’s like his crop is full? What should I...

Just quarantined it and gave it a scrambled egg which it ate with vigor and some feed and sunflower seeds which it...

    RIP: AngryGirl, light Brahma, odd behavior

    I did not place this in the emergency/injuries because it's not urgent. Noticed AngryGirl was off Saturday, but we have five or six going through a molt. Checked on her yesterday, she just seemed off. Wasn't moving much, extremely pale and her wattles/comb were nearly the color of her eyes...

    Matte egg?

    one of our two olive eggers was pretty sleepy earlier and squatting weirdly so I checked for a prolapse and nothing was there so I left her alone. Later I went out to get the eggs and I got hers. I know it’s hers because she lays bigger eggs than her sister who started laying very recently. It’s...

    I added 5 pullets and a cockerel to my flock of 5 hens over a month ago, and recently had to tube feed one of the pullets because she became lethargic and I realized she wasn’t eating. Upon watching them, none of them eat nearly enough, and it appears to be that they’re afraid of the hens. There...
