    Baby chick wound

    Hello all. As my chicks feathers are coming in ive noticed red, almost bleeding bald spots on their backs near shoulder blades. I believe it’s from other chicks pecking at her back.

    Aftermath of Racoon Attack

    I woke up this morning, and usually I have a “ritual” of waving to my flock from the bathroom window upstairs, and usually they’d honk and start getting restless. Today, I noticed little movement in the coop. There were my two Pekins, but they weren’t giving me their usual side eye. I saw brown...

    Head injury on rooster

    We just rescued 7 roosters a few days ago and it seems that 6 of them think that the 7th is a hen. This does make sense because none of them have ever seen a hen. This poor guy has a huge hard bump on the top of his head where the other roosters keep trying to grab him when they attempt to mount...

    Need antibiotic ASAP.

    my chickens and ducks were attacked by a fox. Many died. One duck survived but needed staples. Dr says she needs tetracycline. I can’t find a place that carries that. This is compounded by the fact places are closing due to the hurricane. What else can I use? PLEASE HELP!!

    Entire flock has lacerations on their noses

    I went out to check on my 7 week old chicks today, and was alarmed to see that everyone has cuts and blood on their noses. A few even have some of their comb removed. The most obvious answer for this would be they were attempting to escape the cage and cut their Ceres on the hardware cloth...
