My baby (shes 2 years old) has been acting strangely since yesterday morning, and im terrified she might be egg bound. I live in an isolated community, and i wont be able to see an avian vet until tomorrow at the earliest. She's going through a pretty big molt right now, which started last...

One of my pigeons was recently diagnosed with a calcium deficiency. She's been on calcium supplements for about 2 weeks now, but she has recently developed a limp. She has a slight limp on her left leg and seems to have a hard time balancing on my shoulder when I move around. She's eating and...

Fiona may be egg bound. This morning, she looked a tiny bit puffed up but ate. Tonight she didnt eat her dinner. She had stuck dried poop over her cloacal opening and seemed to be straining. Put warm water in her cage and gently held her in the water to loosen the wad of dried poop. Am leaving...

I Rescued Happy 2 Years Ago. Developed PMV due to the negligence of it's owner who wouldn't want Happy back and told me to snap Happy's neck. We over came that hurdle. Next was a issue with Happy's feet. They became callus due to not wanting to move much and we got that nipped in the butt. All...

I went down to the aviary this morning and one of my pigeons was on the floor. i initially thought she was dust bathing, but she didn't fly away and let me handle her. her legs are right back under her tail feathers and she can't move. she isn't standing, however her eyes are bright no discharge...

Hello everyone. I'm almost in tears writing this. I've had this dove for over ten years now. Last Saturday, I noticed she was having trouble laying an egg. I checked the web for advice and put her in a warm bath. Didn't work. Then I tried massaging the area with warm oil and didn't work either...

Hi All, I have a hen that suffers from egg binding everytime she is about to lay eggs.What may be the possible reasons behind this and what is the solution ?I am seeking for a permanent solution. Thanks, Nazmul

I bought a pair of pet pigeons on January 12th. They bred that night. It has been fourteen full days and still no sign of eggs, and I'm starting to get worried. I have been trying to figure out how long is normal between breeding and egg-laying. I have heard as little as six days and as much as...

Two of the pigeons I’m treating right now I am at a loss with. One is egg bound and the intestine of the other is not emptying. I am afraid both of them are going to die. Any ideas out there? Thank you!

My dove Afonso is in her egg laying cycle again. She layed one yesterday night after many hours of holding her feces and being all fluffed up and seemingly tired. Today i came to her cage to clean it and she pooped a little but is now on her perch very swollen, tail bobbing and her feathers...

I think one of my birds might be egg bound, how could I confirm and what should I do? As the weather started to warm up, two of my (all girl) birds seemed to pair up. I had heard this could happen even for two girls (or two boys). Right before the last cold snap, one of them laid a pair of...

I have a pair of Birmingham Rollers. When i have purchased them from a breeder, I was also given 2 babies with them but they dies after one day as the parents have stopped looking after them as to change of places. They have matted about 20 days ago but there is still not eggs but the pair have...

Please help. For 1 hr Indiana cannot stand up on her feet. I when touch her vent and white liquid is on my hand. She was mating with her mate for a while. Does it mean the egg broke inside? I don't have wheat germ oil? What can i drop in the vent to soften the egg shells. I would assume is...

Hi, I haven't been able to reach Charis so maybe someione can help. I have a young hen and last month she layed her first egg. They pecked it and I took it out. Day before yesterday she laid another. They broke this one also. Now she seems to be in trouble. She is walking around and her...

Hi all, I have a mated pair of pigeons. The female, Newbird, had one clutch of eggs back in August (which we replaced with false ones), but it was at our vet's office, so I wasn't there when she laid the eggs. She's probably due soon to lay eggs (she mated with her mate, Philly, towards the end...

yesterday i left home for about 4 hours and when i got back i couldn't help but notice all the feathers scattered across my yard...to make a long story short i have 2 new responsibilities to share with a very tame (widowed) father bird. my questions are: how long can 2 eggs survive after they...

I think one my hens has egg bound. What Should I do? Its been more than 3 days she cant lay her second egg.

Say how do you feel for eggs? Does anybody have a diagram? I need to check to see if my hen is having trouble laying.

Hi everyone, Sweet, small, gentle Hen...PPMV survivor...swollen abdomen, 'Lobster Tail' pose, feels like an Egg which is stalled close to the Vent. I spent about half an hour holding her, and holding a "warm" moist cloth up against her tummy there...she seemed to like that. She has a fine...
