Hi, our Easter Egger is about 5 years old and Thank The Lord, has always seemed really healthy. Today when we went to feed them, she was extremely lethargic, and very puffed up. We thought it was strange, but went about what we were doing. Then, tonight, she wasn’t on her normal roosting spot...
I have a female pet pigeon, Percy, whom I raised since she was a week or so old. She's almost a year old now. Last night when I covered up her cage for the night, she was completely fine. When I uncovered her cage about half an hour ago, she was looking off. Her wings were drooped, and she was a...

Today, when I went out to feed my chickens, my young pullet was acting strange. She (I think a Brahma bantam) was sluggish and quiet. I took her out of the coop and found she had a piece of straw stuck in her throat, but when I tugged on it, it wouldn't budge. It seemed to give her difficulty...
