My drake is currently prolapsed. I cut some of the dead tissue but there is some more on one side. I clearly need to cut more off I am just scared I am going to hurt him. I have 10 blades and surgical scissors to get the job done. But how much feeling does he have? How much will it bleed? I got...

They will generally hatch all on their own. I stay close and watch them cuz I think it is fun. I do not open the lid unless necessary as the loss of moisture can shrink wrap the chicks.

No leave them in the incubator and keep the lid closed. They need the humidity to hatch

no it was similar thanks!

I saw a picture on (vomit) Pintrest...UGH and it was from somewhere in the 36 pages here. It was a white roosting ladder that held many birds. I am hoping whoever made this would be willing to share the dimensions. I have looked thru several pages here and many of the pictures are unavailable to...

NEVER feed medicated chick starter to ducklings! They eat too much and get too much of the meds! I used nutritional yeast to supplement my ducks. I had 3 that were lame. the Nutritional yeast might have helped some but adding some (a few droppers) of colloidal silver to their food seemed to do...

I will keep my eye on him. So far he is a big love but once the hormones kick in it could be a different story. They have 2+ acres of roam space and everyone but the Tom go into the coop at night. He sits on the fence...

Yes I have 1 tom and 3 hens being raised in a flock of hens and roosters. The young Tom imprinted on my alpacas and mostly follows them around.

My Bourbon Red Tom is 4 months and still chirps... No gobble. He is uninterested in my 2 bourbon red hens and my broad breasted bronze hen. He keeps going for my naked neck hens. They are not enjoying his attention as he will crush them!

I have 2 birds with what I thought was bumblefoot I took them to the vet. She opened one up and found no kernel inside. Diagnosed the hen with Viral Tendinitis. But also said it could be salmonella. Fecal samples have been sent off to the state lab. fingers crossed. Hope your birds all recovered.

I have 2 hens whom I thought had bumble foot. I watched several videos and bought the necessary supplies and then could not do it. I took them to a local Avian vet and while they both have swelling on their foot she said it was not bumble. More likely arthritis due to some virus... But it was...

I have 11 silver appleyard ducklings. They are 2 weeks old and are now enjoying the sunshine. At what age will I be able to sex them? There are a few that are much larger and wonder if they are drakes. In my 11 I got 7 with the classic appleyard pattern 2 that are pure yellow/white and 2 that...

I do not have brewers yeast but I do have Nutritional yeast flakes. Can I use them? BY has 10 mg Niacin per 2 TB and NYF has 56 mg niacin per 2 TB.

I am hatching out ducklings in a couple weeks... I feed my chickens and turkeys no corn no soy layer that I soak the issue is it contains peas. I was told dried legumes were poisonous to ducks but that they love peas... I am confused...Can they eat dried peas? They are ground up and pelleted...

Due to the Silver Appleyard's genotype, it is common for them to produce some solid white offspring. The White Appleyard has identical physical and productive qualities as the Silver and is useful when a pure white duck is desired.

OK thanks for your help.

I got her to eat a small amount of pellets mashed with water and a little wet scrambled egg. but not enough to fill her crop

Her poop is clear with small solids pieces. I do not have any tubes. I will need to buy them finding them locally is proving to be difficult she weighs 11.1 lbs and is 9 months old

How big of a catheter should I use on a 9 month bourbon red hen? She has not been eating or drinking for 2 days...How much food and water?

Once it is dark go out and place them on the roost. It could take several nights of you placing them on the roost before they realize they can do it on their own. Per my Vet ramps with cross bars are bad the bird could slip and jam or break a toe. open rung ladders are safer. or flat ramps with...
