    Lethargic duckling with neck contracted against body

    I have an approximately 6 week old pekin duckling. She was perfectly fine yesterday. Today her neck is contracted against her body and she seems pretty lethargic. I tried extending her neck and she almost acted as if she was in pain. I’ve tried getting her into a vet but nobody can get her in...

    Baby Trapped In Mother's Feathers

    One of our Silkies, Emperor, recently had four babies, and due to the cold right now where we live, we decided to keep them inside. This morning when I checked on them, one of our babies had gotten completely stuck in their mother's feathers. It took quite a while to get them unstuck. Last time...

    I live in Panama. I started to have chicken for eggs and for eating. Now, since almost one year, I became (almost) vegan so my chicken are my pets now. I refuse to give them to anyone because here they will make a soup out of them. I want them to live a long happy life. I think they deserve it...

    Poor Rex and her wry neck issues

    My baby bardrock chick named rex started showing signs of wry neck at two weeks when she began to get a bit tired/off balance and had a slight hunchback. I didn't notice till she was three weeks old and one day her neck was bent like a horse shoe. Her neck wasn't so bad that she couldn't eat or...
