    one of my hens can't move her LEFT leg at all. From my knowledge, I don't think she broke her leg as she's in a cage? her leg doesn't have any signs of swelling or bumble-foot so I don't know what her diagnosis is. I isolated her from the flock and gave her some starter crumble and water, I...

    Roosters leg.

    Does anyone know what's going on with his leg? If you do, do you know how I can treat it at home?

    I would really like more information on these bumps and maybe a "how to treat at home" guide because of the virus, everything is really hard to get to so I dont know if a vet is a possibility but if I have to bring her in. I will! They are two relatively small bald bumps on her back. I think...

    Lead Poisoning in Hen

    Hi all! So I have a 3-year-old Buff Brahma hen named Paisley. She’s an absolute sweetheart, more like a dog than a chicken to be honest. She’s one of my favorite girls. Recently I noticed that she seemed a bit lethargic. She was eating and drinking normally but just didn’t seem like herself. She...

    Can I Go To A Vet?

    Do vets take chickens? Perhaps that seems like a silly question, but I've never raised chicks before. A big concern of mine is not getting them care if they need it. I also worry it must be horribly expensive, because they aren't animals people typically take in. Anyone with experience with sick...

    Goat Prolapse; Lute or C-Section??

    Let me start off by saying that this is a Nigerian Dwarf doe who had three 4 pound babies last year, two of which were born dead. This year she's been having almost constant moderate prolapses (about 2-3 inches out), which are more apparent when she lays down (about 3-4 inches out). Her mom had...

    Taking ducks to the vet

    Could someone who has experience with raising ducks message me? I have some ducks and I'm not quite sure what's wrong with them. I'm not sure if it's a deficiency, injured legs, or a neurogical problem. I also have questions about vet costs.

    Rooster's extreme reaction to vet visit

    Hi all, I took our two Seramas for their routine nail clipping yesterday and things went a little differently than usual: normally she has a mad flap and won't settle down and he looks after her. This time, she quietly took the clipping (guess she's getting used to it) but he went into stress...

    My duck can't hold her head up

    A while ago I caught my white call duck Munchkin having what I thought was a seizure. After some research, I decided it was a niacin deficiency and she has been getting sunflowers seeds/spinach for that. But she still has been having this problem where all of a sudden she can't hold her head up...
