worried

I'll post a picture of her later. But I noticed there is a bump or maybe growth on my polish chickens head and I'm super worried. Idk if it's from the hair ties I put in her hair so she could see better or from something else. She is acting normal, she is running around with the other...

Hello! I recently got chicks for my backyard and got two Yokohamas with the ten chicks I got. Sadly one already has passed, I tried every efforts to bring her back to recovery but on day four she was gone. But now I’m left with my last Yokohama who is showing similar symptoms but at the same...

First time posting...hope I'm doing this right. I hatched 3 silkies this morning( first hatch at around 330AM, last two hatched at approx. 9 & 9:30AM.) Shipped eggs. They hatched on day 21, as they should, but 1 of my babies pipped sometime early Friday morning and he was the last to hatch @...

I apologize in advance for the length and for any future clarification questions. I am terrified of making things worse due to thinking I understand and being wrong. I have 4 chickens and a rooster. When I got them mid July they were this year's hens to my understanding and seemed very healthy...

About two months ago we bought some new baby chicks for pets and from the start I knew we were given the wrong breeds but I didn’t mind because I’d love them no matter what. I’ve just come to realize we were given a Cornish hen, nothing close to what we had wanted and I’m very worried for her...

Hello, my little chicken Coki, a wyandotte has weird lumps on her legs that we thought was bumblefoot, I am asking here to maybe identify what my chicken is going through right now and if we can do something ourselves before going to the vet, (it's pretty far and we're young so we don't have...

I have a Maran egg that is in my incubator right now. We had lost track of the days before lockdown, but today when we checked it, the chick was cheeping inside the egg and we can feel it moving, but it hasn't pipped. We just had a chick die inside the egg, although we are not sure why. The hen...

Hello, my one-year-old female duck was found prolapsed? this morning two hours ago, no idea when it occurred but most likely not more than a day ago. Since I found her she's been soaking in a bath we've been applying Prep H, removing stuck feathers from the area and just trying to get it as...

hello, thank you for taking the time to answer and read this question. I have 3 polish chicks. They are 2 months old I noticed that their poo was a dark green today. I’m not sure if it’s normal or not and I was wondering if anyone has any advice or tips if this is normal or not? I’ve never seen...

Hi there! I have 4 Rhode Island Red hens who typically lay brown eggs, but for two days in a row, I’ve gotten one strangely pale egg that is a pinkish white colour. I don’t think this is normal and am worried for my girls... all of the other eggs are normal and fine, and I’ve never had anything...

Hi I'm Heather New mum to a human baby (8 months) and 2 aylesbury ducklings they hatched 5th april. I brought home 3, but We have sadly lost one a few days ago, one is really small and one is huge.. We are now worried about the small duckling as she doesn't appear to be gaining weight. They...

One of my girls has a black streak in her beak. It’s not raised or textured, but it has grown in length. She is perfectly happy and it doesn’t seem to bother her at all. Should I be worried?

Hi! I’m new here. I love farm life. Have always wanted to live on a farm, but settled for a small house with a couple acres. I just got my first two chickens from my bestie who lives on a farm. I’ve been wanting chickens for years but wanted to learn more before I jumped in. Now I have to learn...

I just became aware that my duck has bumblefoot on his left foot that has progressed farther than I'm embarrassed to admit, but it's being treated properly (I bring it up in case it's related to my question). While making this discovery, I took a look at his right foot as well and it had a...

Really need some clear answers for this one. I have three, week and a half buff orphinton chicks in where two of the chicks are shaking their heads every five-fifteen seconds. First it was one, now it’s two. No other symptoms of any disease, balance intact, no mites or other runny eyes and...

So here’s my story, I was checking on my chickens and the broody ones hoping for the chicks to have been hatched and I open up the door and the chicken freaks out the two eggs fall out, both cracked. One wasn’t fertile while the other was. The fertile one has a hole in it as big as fingernail...

Hi everyone, I’ve had my duckling for a little over two weeks, and this morning he was all good, I then went to go change his water, and food. After that I went to go cut up some greens. And when I came back down he was breathing weird, you can hear it kinda like a whistle, and he’s breathing...

I have always had chickens but now I have one with bumblefoot! We noticed that she had a lump on the top of her foot. I looked at the bottom and I saw the black scab. I soaked her foot in Epsom salt and warm water, we cleaned it and used an xacto knife to remove the scab. We also removed any...
