I am in Laffayette. And you? I would really like these ducks to get some shelter. It doesn't seem like they can fly, and I am assuming they are young, because all but one have fluff sticking out on their heads like ckicks that are almost fully feathered. If you think the winter ail be too touch...

Okay! Sorry for not updating sooner, I'm just really busy. So I've been going to the lake and feeding them after school everyday, and they are looking so much better!! I have counted nine of them and I do a head count every time. There are two brown ones, three black ones, the brown/black laced...

Hello, I have just moved, and noticed some ducks at a lake near my house. When I took a closer look at them, I realized that they were dreadfully thin. Their chests sunk down low, and their torsos are painfully thin. There are about 4-5 black ducks, and one brownish one. The black ones are...

I have an EE hen, Lola, not sure on the age. My guess 2-3? She lays these really pretty nice sized eggs, and she herself is pretty, but her nice fluffy but is always really dirty. I have four other birds and they all have good poo. But Lola has really runny poop. Anything I can do about it?

I had a chick that did thiso, but she only lasted a day. I hope you have much better luck!!

The liquid was clear, right? How is you hen? Mine is now fit as a fiddle and now has no butt again. She had nothing before, so the swelling was super obvious.

Unfortunately, no. I don't have a picture. And it is best to use a syringe, but after they will continue to drain through the holes. My hen is now completley normal, just a little red where we poked her. Also if this is it the swelling should be siquishy.

Not in the vent, but on the butt skin below the vent. It works best when gravity works with you. My mom had to stick a few different places to get most of the fluid out, and you want to make sure the swelling is squishy like a water balloon. If its firm, or if the liquid isn't clear, then you...

Okay,I found out what is wrong with her, it was Ascites. So my mom and I drained most of the liqud, Which ended up being 19 ounces, and now she looks much better, and is walking correctly now. What we had to do was take a syringe and.... drain the liquid out. It should be clear. If it isn't...

I have an EE hen, who is about 2 years old. She has been acting normal, and is begging with the other girls, running around the yard and flying up onto the roost at night with the other girls,but her butt is VERY swollen. My mom and I soaked her in warm water and washed her butt, but all that...

Oh my gosh!!! Shes fluffier than my bantam Cochin!!!!!

I would totally go with Popcorn!!

Awwwww... to bad.... For a while I only got a bantam egg every few days. And one of my EE hens hasn't laid in a year and a half. I know shes not even four.

My Banty Cochin hen has been laying every other day or so... My polish and EE just finished molting and are laying every day now. My Cochin has cranked up to laying every day now!!!!! Always laying at the same time as the others too.... Anyone else have competitive layers?

I've got two EE, two Cochin hens, and a polish hen. Used to have an OEG bantam, Orpington, NHR, and a black star.
