I’m finding several diseases with the same symptoms listed, can y’all help me narrow down what they have so I can treat appropriately?
Sneezing, head shaking, runny watery brown poops that are very smelly, puffy eyes and seemingly redder in the face in one of them.
I noticed sneezing yesterday...
We were giving the birds some treats when we noticed a lot of red. Our polish frizzle dislodged a toenail and was losing a lot of blood. I scooped her up, brought her inside, gave her a quick foot bath, wrapped her in a towel, and while applying corn starch and pressure the claw actually came...

What is the egg withdrawal time?
Do I have to treat them...
