    Quail ear canal is impacted with dry wax

    One ear canal on my Coturnix hen is impacted with wax. Her eyes are watery and she nods off a lot, but otherwise will eat and drink. Is it safe to irrigate her ear canal? What's the best way to clean it?

    Female Muscovy Squeaking and Sleeping

    I have 2 indoor female muscovies. Recently one of the girls has been sleeping a lot and seems disinterested in things. When she is excited, she seems fairly normal but she spends most of the day sleeping. She will eat if you bring food to her, but won't get up to get food very often. She's...

    I have had 3 chickens die in the past 2 weeks and I can't figure out what is wrong! They start with droopy wings, and have trouble with balance. They lose a ton of weight but they are eating and drinking. The one that just died was drinking but shaking her head when she drank and the water...

    Wet weather help

    Hello, As many of my UK friends would agree, we're certainly experiencing plenty of rain at the moment. My chickens are getting soaked, and even during the dry days are listless with tails down. Do you think the weather could have anything to do with this, and if so, what could I do to help them?

    We had five chicks that were about three months old. When we moved them outdoors, one of them started dramatically tilting its head to the side. We were worried that it was due to stress from being moved outdoors, so we took her back inside where she had been living before we moved her out. She...

    My hen was attacked by dog, what are her chances of living?

    So our friends brought their dog over and let her off of the leash because she stays pretty close to them. Our hens are free range and weren’t anywhere nearby at the time so we didn’t think much of it. A little while later we heard chickens screaming on the other side of the house. Murphy (the...

    Quail hen won't stand or drink, listless

    This afternoon I found our little quail Ozzy laying down, fluffed, eyes closed, listless. She had an egg stuck to her tummy feathers; apparently she laid it, but was unable to stand enough to get away from it, so it dried to her. She allowed us to pick her up (unusual for her, shows how ill she...

    Lethargic-eating, drinking, pooping normal

    My favorite chicken, Rhoda is once again not doing well. (2 y/o RIR) In May she got sick, (yellow diarrhea, letharic, was not egg bound, I thought it was egg yolk peritonitis, but she bounced back so it was probably worms?) She recovered from her last ordeal to basically back to normal. I don't...
