    Broken shell in vent, vet visit, antibiotics, etc.

    This morning, there was a shell-less (and rather scrambled) egg under the roost. I figured out the culprit was my Ameraucauna, Henrietta, pretty quickly because she had a piece of egg stuck to her vent. She's two years old, a reliable egg layer, very docile good girl. I got her in a shallow tub...

    Duck Wheezing?

    I have a 6 week old duckling that sleeps and wheezes? Like it sounds like a long quack. It’s only when she sleeps. Is this normal? I have some poultry medication I can rub on her nostrils. Any advice or help?

    Respiratory or gapeworm? HELP!

    Hi! I have had two chickens start doing this (see video)... I haven’t noticed any other symptoms, just this. With weather changes I’m thinking it could be respiratory, or is it gapeworm? Should I treat for both just to be cautious? Thanks in advance!
