I don’t know what my pheasant caught from my chicken but he’s not doing well last week his forehead got a bump then burst into a lesion. It’s been healing but his beak is turning black and looks like it’s thin and chipping away. Yesterday his beak itself formed a yellow bump then today it burst...

I’ve had a pheasant living indoors with me for around two years I’ve also had a chicken living with me for a year now due to being lame (likely from mareks said the vet). They have their own bins but are in the same room of the house. I’m assuming he picked something up from her? How do I help...

I have a ringneck pheasant in my room. He’s lived in here for almost 2 years. For the past seven months I’ve had a chicken living indoors as well because she became limp. After a few months he moved into her bin, and he goes back-and-forth from his to hers. Last week I noticed one of his eyelids...

I have a white silky rooster who bred with my black sex link hen the egg was then hatched by my blue laced Wyandotte. I was sad doing research and finding out that my black sex link and Amber links likely won’t live long due to their egg production. I don’t really care about eggs, and I...

I found a pheasant on the side of the road a little over a year ago with his tail missing. He’s been living in an open bin in my room since. He’s well behaved and feels most secure in his bin so he never leaves until recently… I had to bring one of my hens home due to noticing her becoming lame...

I had a chicken pass away on me I had been treating her for cocci with Corid. After her passing I took her body to the vet to find the couse of death. The reports stated cocci and parasites. She has a sister she lives with I’m thinking I should treat her and maybe the whole flock? (Their mother...

So i have 4 roosters that have been separated from my hens (at the time only had 4 hens). This spring I got 8 more pullets and two guinea keets that have been raised together. They now live with the older hens and all is well. I’m also positive that my two guinea hens are female. What will my...

I have an Easter egger pullet that I treated for cocci due to her pooping straight blood I treated her for 7 days then stoped because she stoped bleeding. A week or two passes and she’s shooting blood again! She’s very light, pale, limp to pick up and she’s also panting even though it’s...

she was pooping blood two weeks ago so I treated her with Corid for 7 days per this site’s instructions (I made a post about this previously). She was good for a week poops a little watery but now it’s straight back to blood! Do I start treatment again. She doesn’t look tiny but she weighs...

Whenever I watch my baby Silkies, all they’re ever doing is shaking their heads every couple of seconds nonstop and endlessly. I honestly feel bad for them. Can an animal have a decent quality life when they’re constantly shaking their brains like that. Two of my silkies scare themselves...

I just found my pullet Amber hiding all bloody. She has no skin or feathers on the back of her neck. I’ve never treated wounds before my dad’s telling me to wash it but that sounds painful and soap on such a big fresh wound??? I need more opinions. I don’t have a car so I can’t drive anywhere...

I have two chickens inside at the moment until I can introduce them back into the coop. I’ve been noticing some red dropping but what I woke up to today is crazy! Red liquid shot all over my floor didn’t even land on the paper towels. What’s wrong with them? And how to I help?

I have a a male button quail who’s lady passed away over a year ago. I’ve been looking for people willing to sell and ship a lady but I could only find people selling them with males and I don’t want more boys! His screaming and growling has been endless. Now I have a local fair that I saw...

I got home today and my dad told me to go check the coop and chickens. All was fine until I found one of my Easter egger pullets sprawled out not moving in the coop under the nesting box shelves. I tried to give her water but her neck is so long and limp. It did reach 85 here today. Reason I’m...

I have a little silkie showgirl that I’ve made a good about of posts about on here due to her EXTREME stunted growth, skin condition, and respiratory issues. After lots of intensive care and trial and error shes finally doing good. No more meds, no more hand feedings needed, and no more skin...

I have a showgirl silkie that’s around six weeks old. She seems to have failure to thrive and a bad respiratory and whatever this skin condition is. Here’s a list of everything I've been giving her: *1/4 metronidole dissolved in 1 ml of water *1 drop of enfamil polyvisol multivitamin drops a...

I was thinking about maybe taking one of my Roos to a show this summer I was wondering if they would do any good or if this is just for giggles. Blue my main rooster was sold to me as an Ameraucana but I’m sure he is just an Easter egger (anyone know what his coloration would be called?) Then...
