Thank you for responding. She has passed on. She was such a sweet thing.

Hello all, I have a silkie chick that is 10 weeks old today. He/She was found yesterday with a very large abdomen. I can't drain anything from it. It's not eating or drinking. Nothing in his/ her crop. Now it can't breath right. She just sleeps. Can someone give detailed instructions on...

Did you take them to vets that do not treat birds? Do you think they will still take a sample? Given it is parasitic, should I refrigerate it? I would think I shouldn't but I've never taken one to a vet before. They've always come here (for my goats and horses).

I was considering coccidiosis but couldn't determine given that she had peas because I have a husband and children who swears she needs them every time she makes a sound and none of the other ducks appear sick.I will try to catch one in the morning to compare provided the snow has stopped :-( ...

Thank you for all the info. She eats blue seal egg layer crumble. For treats they get cracked corn, and a mix of black oil sunflower seeds, white and red millet and oats, and primarily only get peas or raisins this time of year and any left over veggies the rest of the year. However, she is my...

Ok. For some reason my pictures didn't come through correctly. So here they are again.

Hello all, I put this thread in the disease thread first and am moving it here after someone suggested it might be better placed here. so I apologize if that is not allowed. I have a 3 year old female pekin that is not doing well. Here are Her symptoms: Hasn't laid any eggs in a few weeks...

Hello all, I have a 3 year old female pekin that is not doing well. Here are Her symptoms: Hasn't laid any eggs in a few weeks, even given the time of year, for the past two years she has laid all through out winter, though the weather has been snowy and cold lately and she is getting older...

Thanks. I will pick some up. Or local ts should carry one of those.

No, I did not keep her body. We buried her. I did not know something like that existed. She was a buff brahma bantam that was about 2 yrs old. I forgot to mention that she had her feathers continually puffed up and she hadn't been laying eggs for at least a few days possibly longer. And oddly...

Hello. I have a hen that has sadly passed away. I am trying to identify what may have been wrong with her to determine if it's a vital thing that may affect the rest of my flock. We have no vets in the area that work on chickens. It was extremely hard for me to watch her go and I don't think I...

Hello, I went out this morning and found this egg in my coop. I have cayugas and pekins. My Perkins lay white eggs, my cayugas grey or white. Is this just an egg abnormality or could they have possibly eaten something that caused this? It has a green bloom. Some calcium deposit as well. I also...

More probable a pekin. But could also be a hybrid called sweet Emily I believe. Also a white layer. They look more like young pekins.

Unfortunately I've been collecting the other ones eggs so she hasn't really completely sat for very long periods and gone completely broody. the eggs are probably almost 3 weeks along, will they make it a few days until she gets that way if I switch her? Do you think it would be harmful if I...

Ok. So I have pekin duck...which I didn't think was supposed to be broody, but her and her sister both are, anyway, she hatched 3 babies yesterday. So the leftover eggs I candled before getting rid of them. well, they are fertile and at least a week or more behind in age. Anyone have experience...

I got them at tractor supply. So no real hopes there ..lol I'm starting to think that they are just mixed with something as the light brahma has the right comb but the wrong tail feathers. The unsure one has the right tail feathers but the wrong comb and his feathers are strange. Either way they...

I would have thought so except his waddles and comb are completely different than the brahma and his neck feathers are much narrower, longer, and almost spike like . His tail also sits completely different. They are beginning to grow much longer than the brahma and have much more color, the...

can't help with the chickens but.... The "mallard" duck may also be a call duck. I have two that color myself. They are smaller than a mallard. Call ducks can fly. Roens cannot. If the black duck has a blue or green hue on the wings or head and can NOT fly it's probably a cayuga. They can be...

They are also bantams not standard. And have feathered feet.

Oh forgot to mention they are 17 weeks old.
