Ok well to say that someone needs to do something rather then ranting ( which I was not doing) just sounds snarky. I came here for help not wanting her to die rather looking for advice from people who were more experienced. To say I was ranting and unfortunately I never saw the earlier post (...

Thank you for help no need to be snarky just feel a bit helpless watching her so sick. I am still fairly new to keeping a flock and need direction not snark

I do not have any vet around that will see poultry makes me so upset. Her face has yellow crust more than her eyes. With the ban from the FDA on obtaining antibiotics without a vet we have to stand by and watch them die when I have no access. Considering selling my entire flock

my bantam started about a week ago stumbling. I removed her from the flock but se ms to be getting worse. She's eating and drinking but can't stand or falls over. Today I found her almost buried under her chips but she was alive. When I picked her up her face is swollen almost bald with yellow...

She doesn't do poultry I have called before. I will try again and see but I have a feeling there isn't going to be much that can be done. I pulled them both and thier feet smell horrible and are black. Still happy little critters but the feet are beyond saving and a one legged duck is not not...

None of the vet's will see poultry in my area. I feel so sorry for her, I can see the circulation has been restricted since her foot is blue

I am not sure about #2 as I was getting full on attacked by Mom and Dad after inspection of #1 duckling. I finally saw them yesterday when mom brought them out of the coop to March them around for inspection that we had two that looked like they had splay leg. I grabbed one this morning and was...

I am at a loss. I thought that my first girl had been attacked by the neighbors dog or maybe my overzealous male goose. I separated her fed her, watered and gave her everything I could, but she eventually just completely faded away she stopped eating and drinking. It took over a three weeks...

Thanks so much for your reply. I can say the rest of the ducks now move on out when the geese move on in. I love the geese and two days before I had lost my muscovy drake and hen to a fox or dog attack so to find her like this was a double slap. The muscovy drake always kept the geese in line...

I have not found the fox so we still have the problem. We are not sure if it is a fox or my next door neighbors dogs who keep coming into the yard, We have spoken to him about the issue as we have lost quite a bit this season. We are currently changing set ups. We originally free ranged during...

I know I know why does anyone like the uglies I do! I would like to get them before August!

I have three geese that I was talked into last year that I was assured they would chase off the foxes . I think they must see them coming and push the ducks and chickens in front of them. Anyway, they have always been very sweet to us but with the chickens and ducks they are bossy and with the...

I came home last week to a frantic flock with most of my ducks gone and one runner laying on her breast. My runners are not overly people friendly so as I approached and she didn't head for the hills I knew something was really off. I picked her up and she was hissing away. When I put her back...

So something got to my ducks yesterday my beautiful muscovy drake and hen gone. One runner gone and another runner was crying when I pulled up. She had a bit if blood coming from her beak. She couldn't stand without falling forward and her legs splaying. I put her in her own kennel with heat...

We are a small farm with mixed chickens. Ducks and geese. We have naturally hatched a few from our hens but would LOVE to hatch a few of each including the geese. However we don't know anything about incubators except they can be fairly inexpensive to ungodly expensive. We would like to stay on...

Lovely guess nobody wants to talk to me! I was hoping..

Well I guess I stink

My hen just hatched muscovy duckling today and the muscovy hen is sitting on chicken eggs. We don know which eggs are going to hatch. Should we pull the duckling so they will continue to sit?

Ok we got really lazy and it started with a broody muscovy then spread to a hen we named terminator. She was attacked by a fox a few months we lost about half of the flock and as I was setting traps that night found her crawling back in the dark with at least 8 bad bites. Well she survived and...

Hello to all! I am new to the chicken world and have become chicken obsessed ( with ducks following) I have a bit if everything from full size heritage to bantam frizzles) I have 8 ducks but I really love my muscovys. I moved to the country 3 years ago and bought a small coop. That was three...
