This chicken turns 3 weeks of age 2 days ago. In the coop of 30 chickens hatched at the same time.
The case was I found the lights in the coop broke so there's no warmth from the lights for around 4 hours after sun sets. It was around 70° outside. They were gathered together for warmth and...
My 3-4 week old duckling has been having these seizures a couple of timed per day and I'm so afraid she might die from it. What she does is she suddenly starts shaking her neck, falling down and throwing her neck on her back. One such seizures from today is on the video linked below. I am...
Hello chicken lovers!
Yesterday, my favorite pullet passed. Obviously it’s too late to do anything for her, but I need to know the rest of my flock is at risk. On Tuesday I found my favorite girl acting off. She didn’t have any injuries, but she didn’t want to stand and her comb was quite pale...
Hello everyone, meet Crookie- one of my chocolate Orpington hens. She is nearly a year old now, and last December she began stargazing, walking backwards and separating herself from the flock. So, she moved into the “hospital” in our garage and has been there all winter. Initially she was in...
Earlier today I went to check on my chickens, and I found one of them laying on her stomach on the poop shelf under where they sleep. She had her eyes closed and didn’t react when I petted her, but when I picked her up she opened her eyes. She had saliva dripping from her mouth. And also some...
My duckling has had 2 seizure episodes today. It seems tired and won’t eat. Although it has been drinking water. It has walked around a bit but still seems tired and warm. What do I do?!
Pounce first had a lump on his head, watery eyes, and rattle breath. My grandma and I put triple antibiotic on his head lump which decreased in size. We also built him a mini coop with a hot water bottle as a steamer which seemed to improve his watery eyes and breathing.
But then he started...
I have 5 new quail chick that are 18 days old. Today I noticed one of them having something like a seizure. It holds its head near to the ground, its behind up high, runs backwards and wiggles its head from one side to the other. After these attacks, it stayed still for quite a while with its...
This is my first hatch, from which only four Khaki Campbell ducklings came out. Three siblings hatched on the 6th of March and this one took one more day to hatch. He was the first one to make a dent on his shell but then it stayed like that for two or three days until it finally hatched without...
Hi, my boyfriend got me a baby duck, he is about 15 days, he was a normal duck, but yesterday he was swimming and then stopped breathing and I had to give him CPR, he was already taking multivitamin in drops because he had a leg weird contraction... He has a vet and I want him to have a...
So I have seen many threads for seizures and wanted to add one of our experiences and solutions. In our location chickens, ducks and other domesticated foul are considered "exotic" and 0, I mean 0 vets will work with them. We have to go down to Georgia or up north to find a vet willing to help...
One of my old english game bantam hens flipped on her back tonight. I heard a lot of wing flapping and thrashing all of a sudden, and looked to see her laying on her back. I immediately picked her up and cradled her. She just sat there panting with her eyes closed, and for a minute I thought I...

Hi!
I'm trying to understand what's going on with one of my hen, I'll do summary over 5 days in case it can be helpful:
Day 1: She was slightly weaker and wobbly, nothing concerning.
Day 2: I decided to give her dewormer and deworm the whole flock, just in case. About 2 hours after deworming...

So I got this Silkie rooster summer of 2020 from a farm who wanted to get rid of him because he was attacking the other hens and people. He’s almost 2 years old. He is kinda an ass... we have another rooster that the hens would run to when the silkie wasn’t treating them right...
This afternoon I noticed my hen was looking very lethargic and wouldn't stand up on her own. Her face was paler than usual, and her backend was a little rounder than usual. I though she might be egg bound, so I put her in a warm, dimly lit room. I checked on her every now and then, but she was...
I have 7 four month old African geese. Today one goose suddenly started to have neck spasms and twisting. She stopped before I could reach her, as they are free range, and walked off normally. She just did it again while I was changing their waters. So I was able to get a better look. She lays...
