Hi guys. This is Waffles my crested rouen. She suffers from neurological problems due to the crest. She gets nutridrench and it does seem to help her a ton! ❤️ My only other concern is as her feathers are coming in and her crest is growing it is really falling to the left and covers her eye...
I have a Russian Orloff Rooster that is almost 3 years old. I have had him since he was 3 days old. Today I went in the stall and he is extremely wobbly and having trouble even walking. He is usually very active and has always been my most dominant rooster. A few weeks ago he had some dried...
I have a hen that is a couple years old. Rescued/adopted from an animal sanctuary near me.
In the mornings, when she comes out of her coop, I notice her body pulling to the right and left while her head stays in place. It happens repeatedly. She isn't doing it all the time. Her neck doesn't...
Hi, I’ve had chickens for a while, but recently decided to raise chicks. They are now 6 weeks, but something seems strange with our blue production. I transfer her out of the brooder (along with all the chicks) and she started to freak out (erratic behavior). She buried her head in her feathers...
I'm a first time duckling mom to 6 lovely ducklings. They are two weeks old today & straight out of the shipping box one was smaller and clearly weaker than the rest. She was also covered in green dye from the grow gel so I suspect since her legs were weak, she spent a lot of the trip at the...
I have a 7 month old EE girl who is doing EXACTLY what the hen in the video does- walking backward repeatedly with her head down. (My video would not load).
Shes last in the pecking order, gets pecked often, and keeps to herself quite a bit.
I've checked her over, no bugs, ears look fine. I've...
This is an especially rough one to ask about for me.
Silkie hen, age unknown. Sold to me as a "9 month old" when I was younger and dumber 2 years ago. Suspect she is at least 5 now, if not older.
Last Wednesday her rooster pecked her pretty good/bad at the back of the head, not sure why as we...
I am writing to basically give some general information on a duck situation. Over the last month and a half or so I have done research online and sought information regarding a duck I have who has presented with some pretty odd behavior. We...myself and a knowledgeable member here on BYC...have...
hi there, I figured I’d join the site since the last few days I’ve been on the forums searching for hours.
We hatched just one egg, the others never hatched sadly. And the one chick I thought would gain mobility after a day or so but it never did. Now that it is 3 days old I’m realizing...
Hey guys i picked up some chicks today from store and they had just been delivered, still in shipping box. Got a few different breeds but one Road Island Red when i got home noticed it was acting VERY strange. It is acting like when a kid gets spun around a tire swing and their head kinda moves...
hi guys
i had a duckling hatch early last week from a breach position which at first I thought had curled toes. But it now sems like either some sort of leg deformity that I cant find any info on, or a neurological issue, which seems to be getting worse the stronger the duckling gets.
Since...
