Hi everyone,
First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Dani, I’m from Spain. Here, Serama chickens are very uncommon, and keeping chickens as personal pets is not very popular either. In fact, laws around poultry ownership are becoming increasingly strict, making things more difficult...

Hey guys, I think my silkie chick, Skipper, is having daily seizures. About twice a day, he will be running and playing, and all of a sudden just pause, roll his eyes, and slowly twist his neck a few times, for about 1-3 seconds. He doesn't fall down or anything? I am guessing mini seizures...

My little Old English Game bantam rooster, Vizzini, was fine when I left for the faire this afternoon. When I got home I found him seizing in the coop. He was mostly limp, the tips of his comb were deep purple and he had a small lump on his face under his eye. He passed...
Earlier my broadbreasted turkey was facing off with one of my roosters through a fence. She was trilling and puffing up to intimidate him. My rooster then pecked at the fence and out of shock, she was sent backwards and she fell on her back. She started flapping and flailing and kicking. Her...

I was outside today sitting with my ducks just relaxing and enjoying watching them when I saw my 2 year old Black Swedish Smokey struggling in her kiddie pool. At first I thought she was having a seizure and I was afraid she would drown so I picked her up and put her on the ground. She was limp...
