    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...

    Cross Beak Chicken Losing Feathers

    I have an Ameraucana chick that has developed cross/scissor beak so I've been mixing up baby bird formula and chicken food for her to eat. She (not sure the gender yet but I'm hoping for a pullet) comes to the door when she's hungry and has been consistently gaining weight. She's still half the...

    Marek’s and Healthy Appetite

    Hello Fellow Chicken Lovers, Twyla, my 4 month old scissor beak chicken, is possibly exhibiting signs of Marek’s Disease. A few days ago, I had noticed she was limping a bit. I assumed one of us may have accidentally stepped on her foot, since she enthusiastically comes running out to us every...

I brought her inside to watch her. I ruled out bumble foot since I see no evidence. My next thought was a possible injury, and I...

    Rooster would rather starve than eat chicken food.

    So I have have a rooster who refuses to eat chicken feed, although he will eat table scraps. I keep a bowl of feed (changed every other day) in his coop, and feed him a treat (usually leftovers) once a day. I only feed him a small handful of treats estimated at 50-125 calories a day. In the...

    Egg Eaters - Filling Blown Eggs?

    I’m having problems with some of my RIRs (I have 4) eating just about every egg they lay. My leghorn, who’s younger, doesn’t seem interested in it yet, but I’ve seen my RIRs eat the others’ eggs as soon as they’re laid, or if one falls or cracks accidentally, they swoop right in to eat it all...
