Hey all!!
So I was never really concerned about this before because Vause has done this her entire life. But recently I have been doing home research on google and got myself worried so I wanted to ask here!
Vause leaks water from her nostrils, or at least it looks like water. It’s all of the...

Hi, im in urgent need of help, i had 4 cockatiels all well and happy and thought they might be happier in a more jungly feel so hung their cages side by side on my fence that grows many plants and has ivory on it so its a nice feature for them. Lately I've been seeing quite a few mice whenever i...
So, today, we were going about our daily business, as you do, when we noticed one of our Muscovy Ducks, Elvis (my favorite) was gone. Our first thought was coyotes, as we've had many birds lost to them, but after checking everywhere for about 10 minutes, we came up with nothing, no blood...
Hi I have a chick with splayed legs and I don't know how to fix them, I've tried a bit of string but she keeps kicking them off, her legs don't seem too bad but they're definitely off somehow.
Please help as I don't know what to do.
Hello, I have some young chicks, and today I took one out to play in grass (which I’ve done with all the other chicks, no issues) but this one made a break for it! I’m terrified. He’s hiding in the woods, we left out food and water and tried to catch him but he just retreated farther. Also...
Hello, I have a heartbreaking question that I would love to get advice on.
My bantam hen is about 5 years old, one of my brooder mamas whose idea of a perfect life is to sit in her nest box all day. She is still laying and hasn't had any trouble before.
Today I notice her vent was extremely...
Our one female Muscovy duck has been laying in the same place for a day or two, she moved a bit earlier but used both her wings to pull herself around. Not sure what it is but she is still eating and drinking fine, but doesn't struggle when I pet her or nudge her. She broke her pelvis when she...
Hi again,
Does anyone have advice for this little baby. Its siblings hatched yesterday and it is chirping and squirming a lot. We had an accident with it after the mother abandoned it.
I have a 19 week old hen, that caught coccidiosis about 3 weeks ago, I treated her, she got much better, but has been going very downhill since. She's still showing signs of coccidiosis, but she also can't walk much anymore and refuses to eat or drink.. I don't know if there's anything I can...
hello, I have a 7 month old Nigerian dwarf who has had runny poops for about a little over a week now, I dewormed and treated with corid and he is getting worse, still has runny poops and is now lathargic and doesn't want to stand and it's doing a twitch. He has been getting electrolytes. He was...
So my quail has been acting up lately. She hasn't left her cage in a long time and whenever she tries to poop nothing comes out. She also does lots of random head movements.
I have an 8-10 week old speckled Sussex and her crop has been massive for about a week. She keeps bobbing her head around too. Her beak doesn't smell sour though. I helped her throw up today and it was just her feed that came up and it didn't really smell. I have her inside now in isolation. I...
Okay so,
I have this silkie hen and this silkie serama rooster.
I just bought the silkie hen, and she is separated from my other large chicken flock and by herself.
She just started laying eggs and stays in the brooder box with no heat lamp but it moved every evening to the duck pen right...
