Hiya duck owners! I recently acquired some fertile call duck eggs from a close friend of mine as a gift (She knows I've been wanting to raise call ducks forever!) They arrived safely, individually wrapped with no detached air cells or visible damage whatsoever I am familiar with the incubation...

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but 104 for any prolonged period of time is a death sentence for chicks at any stage of their incubation. If the second thermometer is correct, those eggs most likely will not hatch. Do you mind sharing what kind of incubator she used? Styrofoam incubators...

Hello! Wondering, do you breed for show quality?

Update...and with very bad news! :( She went from walking perfectly fine to no use of her legs at ALL. She has trouble eating and drinking on her own, she cannot stand up at ALL and she barely has any mobility (she flaps around a bit and that's all). She's livigg inside the house for now but I...

So I have an update on the situation. She had been limping for about a week before I posted this. Not a bad limp just a slight fumble every now and then in her gait. I didn't think much of it until she grounded herself and started panting. I have no injectable antibiotics on me, I used oral...

A video for your convienenice. She still hobbles around to some extent but she mostly lies down and pants, occasionally taking a few disoriented steps

I have an Ameraucana hen that is suddenly limping. I've had two chickens in the past suddenly begin to limp, as well as lose weight. They both died within a week of their limp. Now another one of my hens is limping, although she hasn't seemed to loose any weight. In the first two situations I...

She stayed in the box for a little while, I'd say 20-30 minutes? She didn't seem to really be paying attention to them though. Just her usual broody sitting in a corner. She walked out pretty quickly without looking at them. When she came back to the box she sat back in her broody position...

Welp! I tried it. She seemed confused! She didn't seem to act too motherly towards them, she just seemed to act very confused like "What are these things?" I guess out've all my hens, she does seem like the least hen like hen, she acts more like a roo! When she went broody I was pretty shocked...

I have 2 hens that are displaying broody behavior, one is a white Ameraucana and the other is an itty bitty Serama with 3 little chicks that hatched 2 days ago. It so happens that my order of 3 day old chicks came in today. If I gave my serama a few of the chicks, would she "adopt" them? I don't...

Hmm...this does seem like quite the pickle. Unfortunately, in situations like this, I usually move on to a different breeder once the second replacement chicks bite the dust. Be very careful with the other chick breeds that you mentioned, as if they begin showing the same signs its definetly...

Dang that really sucks, they're simply gorgeous. I guess I'm gonna have to settle for a different variety/breed. They really should be admitted though, but last I heard it takes forever

Question- Are lavander orpingtons considered an official color in the American standard of perfection? They're a beautiful color but I raise chickens for FFA fair projects and need to be able to show them. Thanks

Do you think I should worry about the rest of my flock? They haven't shown any symptoms

Looks like whatever killed my white araucana 2-3 weeks ago was infectious. She had a limp and stopped eating. I have a black Araucana that has a limp now, is pooping greenish yellow, and has lost a lot of weight. She will still eat from my hands and such but has trouble getting to food on her...

Thanks for all the help. She passed this morning. She seemed fine yesterday but she indeed did have a limp for about 2 months. After she passed, we cut open the wound and it was filled with a white smelly pus. I really hope it doesn't pass to the others. How is it typically passed? My chickens...

Okay, so one of my young ameraucanas has always seemed to have a slight limp but nothing major, she ate fine and everything. We never could find out what caused it or how to help her, but since she was thriving we figured it hopefully wouldn't get worse. Within the past two days, her state...

Thank you so much! Did some research and found that there isn't really much I can do about it but let the disease run its course. It's helpful to know what it is though because I'm currently brooding some 4 day old chicks and I'll consider vaccinating them against this

Noticed these on my 3 red buff hens faces, they weren't there a few days ago so it must be recent Any ideas on treatment or what it could be?wasnt sure if they were insect stings or some kindve viral infection. Please help!
