So I got two new baby chickens recently (Rhode Island Reds) and they are doing very good. They have grown in most of their feathers and are lively and don't show any typical signs of disease or bugs. They're lively and curious and just all-around happy.
One of them, though, sometimes throws some...
I gave my 3 week old fawn and white Indian runner duck from metzer farms a fright tonight by trying to change the duckling’s water whilst they were sleeping and she appeared to have a seizure.. she kind of squealed when she saw me and then fell over and twitched for several seconds. I thought...
So, my two year old chicken went blind about six months ago after hitting her head. I was taking care of her, she was eating and drinking on her own, but still had head injury because of that. Well, about three weeks ago she flew out of the grazing pen that I would leave her in so she could...

My 1 year old silkie chicken has been having seizures since mid January, so around two months. At first she was acting strange and we brought her in and separated from the others. She wasn't cleaning herself so we gave her an epsom salt bath and noticed an injury on her foot. The foot was...
We just hatched some new silkies, all very healthy.
Two days ago I noticed that one of the silkies, who we call Batman, was getting picked on by the others. Batman is a female (dna tested) and is slightly smaller than the rest of the chicks she hatched with.
Yesterday while working night...
Hi everyone! I have 4 welsh harlequin ducklings and 3 of them are pretty outgoing, friendly, and are always eating and drinking. One of them seems terrified of me and chirps the entire time I'm in the room, she's smaller than the rest of them and I haven't seen her eat very much, but I'm not...
So..I purchased four 8-12 week old Chinese painted quail over the weekend. They were settling in just fine, drinking, eating and dust bathing. They do not have too much sun but it isn’t cold either, they have all figured out how to get up into the netting box aswell, there is loads of space for...
Hey everyone,
I just hatched a brood of quail chicks last Saturday. Everything seemed fine, and up until now they were all bouncing happy quail chicks, full of energy and life. About an hour and a half ago I went to check up on them and all was well, everyone was eating, drinking and playing...
Update #1, July 6, 2017:
I contacted our State Veterinarian's office to report this issue and am expecting to hear back from our regional inspector some time today or tomorrow to further discuss and determine whether/when they will come out and assess and see what recommendations they may have...
Hello all... I'm brand new to this site- first forum I've ever joined! I live on 6 acres in Northern Alberta, Canada and have a flock of 19 very spoiled chickens- 11 mature laying hens and 8 juveniles. One of my 8-week old silkies (Her name is Ninja) has "wry neck", and I have been scouring your...
clutch hatched yesterday. I found them after they were all dry. One chick was not moving around like the others. Toes looked curled under and appeared to seize when placed on back.
I tape/splinted her toes. She is now able to somewhat stand, but still not walking (kind of hobbling about)...
So to start off with, the chicken in question in question is a 4 year old Americuana, slightly underweight, she's been separated from the rest of the flock for a while so we could treat a torn ligament that had prevented her from walking and abscess on the bottom of her foot. She got better...
On Wednesday night my Rouen chick (I'm not sure how old she is maybe around 11-10 weeks?) had a seizure at around 9:30 pm. I was letting her stay in a cardboard box with her mate and I heard a loud thump from inside as I let them sleep in my room for just that reason in case anything goes wrong...
