I hatched some quail chicks 4 days ago and they were all doing perfect but when I got home from work today 4 of them had died. The other chicks all looked pretty lethargic so I took them outside on some grass and they perked up alot but once I put them back in the brooder box they all returned...

Sometime maybe last week, could have been longer than that, we had one of the ISA browns lay a wrinkled Egg. Fast forward to this past Friday and I noticed one of the ISA browns very sluggish, swaggering, and lethargic. Her feathers seem easy to fall out, her comb is off in color. I'm guessing...

Two days ago I went to let our chickens out to roam a bit while I cleaned up their pen. One chicken didnt come out with the others but just stood in the run doorway which caught my attention. I notices she was just standing there with one eye closed so I hustled the other chickens back into the...

We've been raising ducklings (two Pekins and two that look like mallards) for about a week and a half now (they're about three weeks old), and recently things have been off in our flock. It all started Thursday (It's Sunday now), and throughout the day everything had been fine and good. That...

I have three Americana hens who are all about 5 to 6 years old. But I noticed just today that one of them has a lot of clear brownish liquid coming from her beak like she's throwing up. I called my vet and she said to call back in 24 hours if she is still doing it, cause there is a chance she is...

Hi everybody. I have a 6-7 month old Black Australorp hen, she is really sweet and friendly with us and got sick suddenly. She gets bullied a lot by the other hens and a few days ago when we saw her a little weak, we brought her inside to eat and drink. Right now she is inside in a cage. She...

I have a 1.5 year old Silkie Rooster that is extremely lethargic, fluffed-up, drinking lots of water, not eating and runny, clear poo. I brought him in about a week ago as I noticed he was separating from the flock and was a bit “off”. No signs of mites. Through the week he’s not gotten...

My poor baby susu is a NN silkie bantam. She has always been on the struggle bus. She had a lame leg when I first got her at 5 months and we helped heal that. As soon as she got healthy and walking again, she became our bantam NN silkie roosters favorite. She would often lay on her side when...
