Hello, A few days ago neighbors found an injured Muscovy duck and brought her to me because I have been raising ducks and chickens in my backyard. However, I have never had a bird with such a terrible injury; the duck seemed to have been bitten by something around her tail area, and the cuts...

Our biggest rooster overheated a few days ago, he's big and active and doesn't stop to care for himself if he feels "at risk" ... We're fighting a big rat problem this summer and he's killed a few himself already, so I assume he's been worried about the rats and not drinking ... Well he decided...

Howdy yall small herd guy been doing it for just under 2 years so you could say I am pretty new. Our cows just calved on Sunday and today I noticed on one of the new female calves there seemed to be at least one small white wiggler in her underneath. Should I be concerned about this? What is...

Hi Chicken lovers. My friends chicken was bitten by its sweet border collie that has never bitten a chicken before. She now has a wound just above her vent, it's round, about the size of a fingernail, and very open. It was crawling with maggots today when I had a look at it. I washed her in...

Hi all, I'm looking for some advice after discovering a maggot infested wound on one of our hens yesterday. We initially panicked at the sheer horror of the injury, it seems that the maggots had been tunneling away under her skin on her belly for quite awhile, and we only became aware when the...

Hello, I have a silky rooster who, about a week ago, started limping. It was very slight the first day, then the next he was lying down to eat, and on the third day i had turned a dog kennel into a hospital because he wouldnt get up at all. He also eats very minimum and only notceably drinks...

I don’t know if this is the right section to post this but I hope it is.. I’m not sure how much of a threat flies or maggots pose to guinea fowl or chickens but ever since I placed my guineas outside in their pen flies have swarmed and swarmed. A few weeks ago I noticed maggots in the mud/dirt...

So I got oral ivermectin and gave a dose to my sweet runner. She had more maggots this morning than last night. About when should I be expecting the maggots to die? And I read that I need to give another dose in 10 days. Should I also be adding sea salt to her soaks?

We have a 5 or 6 year old hen, Bernadette, Bernie for short. We got her 3 years ago. We didn't know when we got her but she was infested with mites. She almost died from them. She recovered and has done well. She has laid some of the largest hen eggs I have ever seen, like the size of large...

On Friday, I shared with you all about the eagles attacking our neighborhood chickens. I lost one and had another wounded. I thought my biggest problem was figuring out how to create obstacles in my orchard, where they live, and put some Veterycin on the quarter sized wound, the only wound I...
