A strange bump developed on my chicken Amber 6 days ago. She stopped eating or drinking. Cannot walk or balance herself when she stands. Poop is very green and liquid. Has fever all the time - over 110 F. She's been on Tylan 50 for 4 days. Today she isn't opening her eyes and is very weak...
I need suggestion for treating a sick turkey, please! Turkey raising newbie...
I received an order of day old turkeys, guinea fowl, and chickens from a hatchery on July 18th. One turkey never seemed to grow but was eating and drinking. This turkey is now obviously sick - half the size of the...
In July 2017, we bought 7 chicks, including 4 gold laced Wyandottes, 2 Barnevelders, and 1 Cream Legbar. 6 grew up to be healthy, productive hens (one Wyandotte was killed by the neighbour's dog when we had just put them in the yard). However, our Cream Legbar, originally active and producing...
I currently own 10 chickens and they are in dire need of a new coop, I found a really nice one but it says that it’s suitable for 8 chickens. Would it be possible for them to fit in there comfortably? Or would it be inhuman or would it be possible?
So..I purchased four 8-12 week old Chinese painted quail over the weekend. They were settling in just fine, drinking, eating and dust bathing. They do not have too much sun but it isn’t cold either, they have all figured out how to get up into the netting box aswell, there is loads of space for...
So I recently started raising my own chickens and I originally got them from a neighbor. I want to introduce some more into my flock and decided to order online and I stumbled across My Pet Chicken.com. I was planning on buying 10, day-old chicks from them but wish to know if I should or not...
Hello fellow chicken peeps! I'm new here, and I need some help. Sorry in advance for this being so long.
I have been raising chickens for over 2 years now, and I have a dilemma. One of my black austrolorp hens started acting weird about 4 or 5 months ago. She started mounting other hens...

Hello BYC!
I have a female black swedish who hasn't layed in a 3-4 days, and she usually lays every 1-2 days. It's very unusual to see her not laying. I ordered oyster shells and they arrived today. Would feeding them to her be a good idea? Would it help her lay eggs again? Please respond if...
I very recently started a thread about my year and a half old black Swedish, April. She was having some problems with her poop and she was passing on these weird rubbery leathery white hollow looking things. I received a lot of suggestions and answers, so thank you so much for all of the...
My year and a half old female black Swedish duck started to get really quiet and she is having these really weird poops. A picture of one of her recent poops is shown above. Their white and rubbery and some liquid comes out of her but the main part is the weird rubbery white part. I don’t know...

Hi Everyone,
If anyone has seen this behavior before and/or has any suggestions, I'd be so appreciative!
THE SITUATION:
I have a pair of nearly-4-year old Sebastopol geese. This year, my goose finally hatched a few goslings. Long story short, there were only two healthy ones -- female I...
Hi all,
I work for a homeowners association and one day about a year ago a little chick appeared, we began feeding it as we do with our ducks. We've grown attached to our little chicken and we think she has a case of botulism, we've seen it happen with two ducks here before. The cases in the...
i have a female mallard a little over a year old and today when i went out to say hi to them all she seemed sort of off. I brought her inside to watch her, her eyes seem squinty, she keeps slightly shaking her head and mouth keeps moving, she pants like it’s hot but it is not hot at all and she...
I work at the local tractor supply and took home a baby duck that's in terrible shape. It has a splayed leg, shivers constantly and has labored breathing. Plus a strange wound on its beak. It's not even two days old, it arrived with its toes stuck together. Yet it is still feisty and poops and...
Over the last few weeks I’ve had three chickens just drop dead out of nowhere. I found that one of the chickens had the area around their vent severely mangled to the point where you could clearly see into her. This could be on the other chickens that had passed away, but I didn’t get to check...
hi all
I just went to put some of my ducks indoors for the night and discovered one of them dead and I have no idea what happened.
Hoping someone is online now who can give me any thoughts on what it might be or what I can do in the morning to try and work out if it was anything contagious And...
My Easter Egger is stuck in a very tall tree, way out of reach of a ladder. She has been up there all night in the cold. She is still alive, but will not come down from the branch. Any ideas???
