    Single swollen leg (lower shank), head shaking, pale comb

    My speckled Sussex Beebee has been looking worse and worse. Her comb has been pale for a while, but she's been molting. Now, though, one of her legs is swollen and she has that sick, hunched over look. She's starting to shake her head every few seconds when she's standing still, and every now...

    Please help! Why is my duck’s dropping light orange and white?

    She last ate mussels. We’ve been feeding her it regularly since we’re out of duck feed, but this has never happened before. I believe there isn’t any orange in mussels, so I’m not sure why she’s had an orange dropping or what it’s indicating. She’s also been shaking her head and generally...

    Please help! Why does my duck keep shaking her head with her mouth open?

    It’s been two days already and it keeps happening. I don’t think anything is stuck in her mouth, but maybe her own tiny feathers? She hasn’t left the house for some days, so she couldn’t have found food from outside. It’s only started happening recently. She’s a Pekin duck and one years old...

    Rouen Duck shaking head, separating itself from companions.

    So I’ve had this Rouen duck for 8 years. I made a previous thread on him, healthy before, has a brother who seems unphased. At first, he had some issues with feathers, and wasn’t able to get out of the pond, but seemed to be recovering. However recently his head has been shaking a lot, and he...

    Vibrating duck?

    Hi! A few minutes ago I was cleaning up my ducks' cage where they stay the night when suddenly the youngest one (around 45 days old) started shaking/vibrating from its neck up and then nipping at me. The shake isn't harsh and neither is the nipping, but it was very sudden and it had never done...

    Why are my chickens dying?

    I have had chickens for years, and have never dealt with anything like this! This flock is around 8 months old. I’ve had them since they were chicks. We sold our old flock to start over with younger layers. We haven’t lost a single one until a couple weeks ago. Our fist loss is unrelated to what...

    Raspy Breath, Aspirated?

    Hello, I’m new to chicken keeping and need your help!! I purchased a 13 month old Salmon Faverolle on Friday the 15th along with 4 other 12-14 month birds. I’ve had her for exactly one week.

    Head shaking and crusty butt

    Two questions related to mites and crusty butt: Hello folks, I read through a variety of forums but I did not find specific info regarding these two issues. I have only two chickens, one is an older (7 ish) pet hen who I have had for three years. And two years ago, I got a four-year-old rescue...

    Any advice on making a chicken eat?

    She seems fine except 1) she's shaking her head every few minutes or seconds as if to shake something off and 2) she hasn't eaten with any regularity in a week and a half. She's interested in food in theory - she'll peck at kale, for instance, and until she got too weak and tired, she was...

    Chick URI? Help

    I have a 3 week old chick that has been perfectly fine, until this evening when I found her puffy, eyes closed and frequently shaking her head. There is a slight crackle but sounds like it’s sinus rather than lungs. There doesnt appear to be a nasal discharge but I think when she shakes her...

    Chick shaking head and losing balance

    I have a chick who is 36 days old and for the past two weeks, she has been losing balance and shaking her head. By shaking her head I mean that she looks like she's shivering. I have tried changing her food to give her more vitamin E thinking that that may have been the culprit, but it's been...

    12 day old keeps twitching/shaking her head. Hoping she’s ok.

    Our favorite 12 day old chick started twitching/shaking her head often, seemingly uncontrollably. She’s been the alpha of the brooder since day one and loves her cuddle time. I recognize there is a fair amount of chaos in the house during this video clip so it could be nerves, but that’s not...

    Hen shaking head and lethargic-Help!

    My Salmon Favorelle hen won't stop shaking her head. She keeps lying down, especially under our deck in a cool dark area. She's eating and drinking but not a lot. Every 5-10 seconds she shakes her head. We thought she might have something that's making her go blind, because her best buddy Suzy...

    Lethargic Birds with Yellow Nasal Discharge

    Hey everyone, I have a couple birds inside and outside that have yellow nasal discharge that crusts up and are acting pretty lethargic. Some of them have warts, so I was thinking it could be fowl pox. One of the birds is very lethargic and much thinner than the others, but she’s my moms...

    Duckling troubles: wry neck or not?

    Hello my duck friends.:frow I have a little muscovy that is 6 days old. CUTENESS ALERT: His neck does not look like the wry neck that I have read about. In fact the trouble only comes when he eats or drinks and then that isn't all the time. The little one will hold his head back touching it...

    Silkie chick just hatched. Has vaulted skull. Shaking and chirping non stop.

    Hi everyone! I’m new here and new to hatching. I just hatched my first group of Silkie chicks and one of them seems to be having some problems. First it took almost 30 hours to hatch, it seemed very stuck so I assisted with the hatch a little so it could get its head out. It was hatched with a...
