I got a pair of buttons for my finch cage again...I noticed that the female's wing was starting to stock out a bit about 2 weeks ago. I thought she had caught it in the cage bars. Today I took her out because it is REALLY sticking out now. I tried aspirating because I suspected an abscess...

Hello--I have a friend tha tis doing a test hatch for me. She has two birds out over the last two days and a few more to go. Can the babies stay in the hatcher as long as chicken babies or do they need to get out after a day or so? I guess they are peeping like crazy and driving her nuts! My...

OK friends--I NEED your help now....I had to butcher another meatie today and I found strange things and I really want some opinions on this! Here are the pics I took. FIrst I thought it was odd that the wing had a very swollen top part (I dont have a pic of this) I get the bird all plucked...

Hi all--I thought my problem was done but it seems it has started up again...sigh. SO I have my bobs and the cots outside in raised pens. We had quite a bit of snow and it got cold here. The cots were fine, the bobs (sho are supposed to be native) started dying 1 or 2 a night. I thought they...

I have a 4 year old OE cross game bird that has been healthy all his life. The other day I didnt see him and found him in the barn hunching...He couldnt see. Eye area is puffy and he has a lump under his beak. There is no foul odor at all. Once I got his eyes opened up he started eating. I...

Hi all--I am going to try this post here because it is but isnt an emergency... I have many broody hens that do most of my hatching for me. This year they are now on their second broods and I am suddenly having problems with the chicks. when they get to be about 2 weeks old suddenly one eye...

So I was cleaning cages earlier and noticed that my YNA had laid an egg at the bottom of the cage. Weird...I put the nest box on two weeks ago. I offered them a peanuts and she wouldnt take it. I took her out and put her in the hospital cage with a 60w bulb above and the cage wrapped in...

Today the wheaten marans eggs were officially 4 days late. I did the float test and had nothing so I cracked them open. I had two black chicks, 2 silvery looking chicks and one yellow. All had quit about 2 and a half weeks in I judged. My question...since I have not hatched this breed...

Hi all--I have been having a very rough time with my goats this season! I had one with a leg back that strangled because I was at work. Another was born (I think dead) with a swollen neck and today another one was born(this time alive) and it also has a swollen neck! Has anyone ever dealt...

I had a man stop the other day that was buying ducks and chickens. When he heard that I had quail he wanted to get a few for his little boy. I had no idea what to charge so I said 3 for $10. I sold him the roos. Now I am thinking of hatching some more birds...is that a good price? Should I...

I have a few young racers (5) that I bred. They have been living with my young guineas in an outside pen screened on all sides. I rigged up a way for them to go out into a little pen and then outside. Two came back in just fine...I am hoping that the other 3 will figure it out! THey were up in...
