neck

Is it normal for ducklings to lay like this??

So, my two year old chicken went blind about six months ago after hitting her head. I was taking care of her, she was eating and drinking on her own, but still had head injury because of that. Well, about three weeks ago she flew out of the grazing pen that I would leave her in so she could...

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...

Hey all. Yesterday I went out to feed my goose and noticed that she was stumbling around as if drunk. Once I caught her, I noticed two small puncture wounds on her chest. She is unable to keep her balance and often falls over. She refused to lay down at all the first day and continued to crash...

My 3 year old Muscovian hen duck was attacked by an otter a little over two months ago and it either badly sprained or broke her neck. I took her to the vet and even though she couldn't move her neck at all we decided to try instead of cull. She was stuck on her belly for about a month but is...

My black silkie chicken was born this morning and isn't looking great. It can't walk and it just kind of hops and flaps around. I checked and it doesn't have splayed leg, crooked toes or perosis. It also doesn't really hold it's head up, he has held it up but mostly it's head is just facing...

my three day old little fiesty chick started yawning repetitively, stretching her neck, and scratching her neck aggressively and then falling/rolling over. I noticed it happened after she got her chest a little wet when drinking water. She has been doing this since last night, for about fourteen...

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...

Hi everyone i really need your help! We hatched a chick in an incubator 3 days ago and it still cant stand. This is our 4th batch and we've never had something like this before. It already had some difficulties getting out of its egg at first: it stuck out its beak and could open the rest. At...

my little one year old caramel brahma started doing this weird neck movement thing and i’m really worried about her. does anyone know what it is? there’s no specific time she does it, just kind of whatever she’s doing, she’ll pause to do whatever this is.

Hey there! So its my first time raising back yard chickens they are now three weeks old. The other day I went out to the brooder and they usually all run from me but there was one who didn't, I pulled him out and noticed she holds her head to side and can't fully extend it. When I found her she...

Hi, I am not new to the forums, but this bnb is my first post. I have a bantam hen that is currently sitting on 10 eggs. She started sitting on Sunday so today is only day 5. 2 days ago we picked her up to love on her and noticed a big fleshy spot on the back of her neck, you have to move her...

I am looking for someone who can help me identify what is going on with my roo, and what we can do to help him here at home. I have an Australorp/RIR roo that I hatched out last year, and he is now fully mature. We noticed a few days ago that he could not lift his head and I immediately brought...

One of my teenage Polish hens (about three months old) went from being lively and jumping to being curled up on the ground as if sleeping, but her neck and head is twisted up underneath her breast and she's jerking his head side to side. I've picked her up and tried to straighten her out, but...

Hi! Two days ago there was a big storm here and my chickens were all spooked! The worst two sufferers were my silkie chicks. One of them got herself stuck between two layers of the coop wall (unharmed) and the other one tried to escape and sliced off the back of her neck!! I patted her with a...

My 3 week old chicks are stretching there necks and widening there mouths I dont know what to do to help Im a beginner at this and they dont do it repeatedly they do it once in couple of minutes but they eat drink like normal but I just want to know what could be happening and what to do please...

One on my chickens has feathers that won't grow on her back and neck can someone tell me what it could be from and what to do?

Hi everyone, new here, so I tried to do a search for this problem, but could only find one other that matched it exactly, and it was from 2014, so I hope it is ok to start a new thread. I have 8 Indian runner ducks (started with 11, but life stinks sometimes...) I have only one drake, and the...

This is how Bianca drinks. Everything else is as usual, but her drinking. I thought it might be a version of wry neck, and have been giving her selenium and vitamin E, no change. Besides the drinking position being very bizarre, there is nothing different about Bianca: good eating, pooping...
