    Chicks ears look swollen?

    This new flock is giving me a run for my money. The flock is twitching their heads, occasionally sneezing and scratching their heads. I separated two because they were showing signs before any of the others. Well now I look and it seems like around their ears are swollen and missing feathers...

    Camille is twitching her head, not drinking, not eating, lethargic

    Please give any advice as soon as possible, I don't think she will last long without some RAPID improvement. One of my hens, a RIR, has started having a severe problem. She was already mostly blind, and we have been keeping her inside with us. Until a few days ago she seemed happy and...

    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...

    Newborn Chick Twisting neck and Twitching

    Newly arrived SLW she is twisting her neck at this weird angle and twitching randomly. Drinking seems to trigger it sometimes but it can come on randomly. Looks like her head is on backwards and she chirps loudly while it's happening. No other abnormalities that I can see. When not twisted she...
