I have a chicken with a severely deformed neck. Issue presented itself about 4 days ago and all I've been able to think and do is isolate, give her asprin and soak her food...she looks to be in severe pain and I don't have any idea what is wrong with her. Would it be a broken neck? She doesn't...
This is Becky, my mallard. She has always had a very spirited and sassy personality, but lately, she has been very stand-offish, doing some very gruff quacking and hunching her neck down/ruffling her feathers every time she sees me. In the picture, you can see that her neck is hunched down—I...
(First paragraph is about hatching process of all the eggs, second paragraph talks about the duckling in need) So, I ordered my duck eggs from Metzer farms (First time hatching or owning ducks) on July 1st and received them late on July 6th or 7th. On Monday, August 3rd (about 28 days), most of...

Our “Harley” Walsh Harlequin is almost 2 months old. Our dog scared her and I think maybe stepped on something but I’m not sure we were chasing her away. But she is having a hard time lifting her head. And something scared her yesterday - have no clue what it was because I was outside with them...

Hi everyone!
Thanks for reading and those who respond, I have a chicken who recently has an upside-down head.... other than that, she's happily clucking, her eyes are clear, she flaps and walks equally, can drink / eat / poop ok. I'm wondering if there's hope for her to return to the flock and...
I just hatched a batch of coturnix quail chicks and at least one of them got stuck in the egg. Two were fine once I helped get the shell off, but the third must have been like that for a while because it's neck is still twisted to the side like it's still in the egg. All chicks are now in the...
We have a 10 month old Silkie rooster that had wry neck as a chick. We treated with Poly-Vi-Sol per info we found online with good results and he went on with his business. About a month ago the condition returned with severity and that's when I found this website and we did lots of reading...
My wacko cockerel was "fine" yesterday... but today my sister picked him up and he stretched out his head on her lap and just lay there. He's an active little thing and has never done this before. Never been sick before, still eating/drinking/pooping. Still barely over a month, but his face is...

I have two Rouen ducks. Not sure of their sex yet but am concerned about one that has deep grooves/lines on his neck. Can anyone tell me if this is something to be concerned about? I also have noticed feathers on his legs. Is this normal?
My 3 yr old muscovy male has developed a neck problem in the last 3 months. He can no longer lift his head above his body. He frequently rests his head on the ground. The radiologist says he shows signs of inflammation in his neck vertebrae. Unfortunately neither the radiologist nor any of...
