My rooster, Bobbo, was accidentally run over by a lawn mower today while it was backing up. It is a Club Cadet tractor mower. I looked at the many feathers he lost, and there wasn’t any blood. He has an eye infection that he is taking medicine for, and the eye has some blood in it. He can walk...
This egg had zipped all the way around when I went to bed at about 1am. At 7am, my husband got up and it still hadn't hatched... Its now 9 and I have not seen any activity at all this morning. I have another egg zipping and a baby that just broke out about 90 minutes ago... Plus two other...
I have two broad breasted bronze turkey Toms who are 13 weeks old. The last couple days I've noticed ones tail has been a bit drooped. He has had some inconsistent diarrhea (between diarrhea and normal poops). More recently I noticed his wings have started drooping a bit and he's definitely not...
Hello all,
We live in the Tampa Bay area of Florida. We had 7 hens of all different breeds. We got them 2 years ago and have never had a problem until last saturday. We found one on the floor of the coop, she couldn't stand on her own and was very weak. By sunday night she was unresponsive and...
I am posting on behalf of a chicken owner who does not have an account here, so bear with me. (Yes, I will inform them this forum exists. :-] )
Said chicken owner noticed their ~3wk old Brahma chick limping suddenly. It is eating and drinking perfectly, and seems to be aware and active despite...
Hi everyone,
Sorry to be so dramatic, but it's true, I am really at my breaking point and have no idea what to do.
I live in a suburban neighborhood and all of our houses are relatively close together. Hens are not illegal to have and, in fact, others in the neighborhood have them but I've...

So around 3pm est today, I noticed Pepper's crop hadn't gone down. I was gonna feed her when I saw hoe big and felt how hard it was, like a rock. I got her to drink water and massage her crop, but after a couple hours on and off, it's very slowly gone down. The weird part is this strange...

My serama rooster about 2 years old was fine yesterday but I was feeding them and changing they’re water like I do every morning when I realized he didn’t come off his perch and I checked on him and he’s pale like most of his face and comb is almost white and I figured out he’s blind too I’ll...

I’ve been soaking her in warm water and Epsom salts and that help bring down the swelling and walk a little easer
I thought it was bumble foot at first but haven’t gotten worse and theres no scab

General Tso was always a much bigger chick than all the rest. We assumed it was a he because of this fact and temperament. This chick was very feisty and kind of in the other chicks faces. General Tso is about 20 weeks old! What do you think? We already had to unfortunately had to re-home 2...
I have a three week old chick who had curled toes when we got her and we tried to fix it, but her legs ended up getting splayed and we tried tying them together with pipe cleaners but it’s causing more problems. We don’t what to do now. She’s definitely smaller than our others of her same age...

I bought a Brinsea Advanced II.
I have chicken eggs inside... I did not put the water in the machine. I honestly thought I was to put the water in during the last two days...
Did I completely mess up?
Can I still save the eggs?
While I solved the one problem with my baby Pepper and her slipped tendon, I'm faced with another. My 6mo silkie roo, Ash, has been fighting something for a while that I thought I knew what it was. For two nights, I noticed he'd be the only one with an empty crop before bed, so I'd have to...
Hey all,
I've got a batch of day old silkie chickens and one has curled toes. Most of them have polydactyl toes but this one also has curled up toes. I think from a traumatic hatch, and I say that because I've read about it in this forum when we first noticed it, only one has both feet- one only...
