    Quail chick keeps breathing heavily and weak, don't know if I'm doing this right!

    So I recently hatched 8 adorable quail chicks, and they are all fine until I got back from an hour long shopping trip yesterday and one of them (the most lively and curious) seemed to be struggling to breath. She kept yawning and stretching her neck out, as well as shaking her head violently as...

    Baby Chinese goose not walking unless I help her move by gently picking her up and pushing her butt. She takes a few steps then falls

    We bought her from the store where we buy all of our chickens, ducks, turkeys. This time we thought they where just strange ducks… they where Chinese baby geese. We assume one is male and one is female. One is very tall and loud the other is small and quiet… she is strange looking but she’s very...

    Red Golden Pheasant won’t eat feed

    My dad purchased a Red Golden pheasant a year ago and we have tried repeatedly to get him to eat actual feed. We’ve tried 16% protein mini pellets and crumble, 24% gamebird crumble, scraps, and 6 way scratch. The only thing I have gotten him to eat is scratch. He’ll go for the sunflower seeds...

    Baby Not Eating

    Hi, our baby Banny that we incubated isn't eating no matter what we do. We've tried crushing up their food and they won't eat it. We've tried putting it on a lid, a plate, a little in their hay and on the bottom of their tub. I even tried putting their beak on the food when they were chirping...

    He needs to eat...

    Just another thread about my sick bantam Wyandotte rooster. How can I get some feed in my bird? He has been drinking A LOT of water. Like, he literally stands in front of the water cup and slowly drinks it until it's all gone. His breast feathers stay wet because of all the water he's...

    Lethargic!! Barnevelder - listless, pale comb, won’t eat!

    Our barnevelder is our first girl to go broody about 2-3 weeks ago. She’s around 18 months old and was growling and taking food from my hand up until a few days ago when I got too sick to climb into the coop for a few days to hand feed her. Last night she was in her nest, seemingly her normal...

    Chicks act hungry but refuse to eat anything I give them.

    I have a flock of 12 chicks (5 of them are 2 months old and 7 of them are 1 - 1 1/2 months old) and some of them have just stopped eating. They continue to act hungry and as if they want to eat—reaching their heads out of the coop to peck at the grass, scratching at the food I give them, coming...

    Peachick sleeping and not eating

    Recently acquired three chicks, all now around 6 days old. Two of the three seem to be thriving just fine with healthy progression and activity (though maybe a bit of eyelid tugging which has landed them in birdy jail), however one of them is significantly less active. It's spends the majority...

    Hi my hen is a Rhode Island Red and is only just over a year old. Yesterday she stood around the garden and wouldn’t move but I didn’t think much of it. She usually has a problem laying every so often because she lays double yolks and is always fine. But today was worse. She has stood in the...

    Hen was injured and does not eat/drink/move

    Hello, One of my chickens got attacked and injured on one cheek right below her peak, towards the neck. We’re not sure by what, but we are assuming it might have been a raccoon/possum/hawk or cat. It has been about 7 days since the incident. We quarantined her and had to start force feeding her...

    Chicken barely eating or gaining weight

    She seems to kind of pick at her food before moving on. Her crop is never full like the others and she’s super light. she’s now in the house with free access to food and water all the time but she still just kinda picks at it before walking away. I thought maybe she couldn’t see well being...
