I've got a pair of Welsh Harlequins, and they've had a successful brood before, but this time every single one of her eggs has started dying. They all stopped developing either right before getting feathers or right after, but she still sat on them until they rotted to the point of breaking open...

One of my ducks, dave, couldnt even walk in for the night yesterday. His foot was extremely swollen, had a little cut on the bottom. I'm assuming it got infected ? But it swelled up so fast, the cut was still bleeding a little, that could it be something else? He can't bare weight on it and he's...

She has a super pale comb and big pupils. She is lethargic/wont get up, her breathing is big/labored breaths. She was fine and great yesterday and today she wont eat or move. My local feed store thinkgs maybe she got into posion, so they gave me some charchol biscuits to crush and put in...

I've got some chickens limping, I don't know why, but I heard half a baby asprin would help with pain and telling if it is pain or something else. I'm not sure if what I heard was true so I'd love to find out if it is or isn't! Thanks

Thought it was cocci and treated for it they got better for a few days and now are worse. Then thought mites but only found one questionable looking bug, it was questionable though so I'm looking into other things. Their symptoms are: Pale comb and face Closed eyes (sleepy like) Laying away...

I've got nine babies a month old and they're new feathers are coming in, is there any way to tell what sex they are by feathers yet? We want to keep one female.

One of my six chickens is acting very strange, slow moving, pale face, tail limp. I thought maybe it was sour crop but her breath smells fine and she seems to eat, at least corn when I bring it out, and she 'talks' too. Then someone said it could be coccidiosis, same symptoms but with diarrhea...

We have this one chicken (all of them are barred rocks) and she's really sweet and gives hugs and such but today is acting very strange standing in one spot with her tail down not moving or talking at all. We had to bring her out of the coop today, I don't know what could be wrong, or if there's...

My male Welsh Harlequin is one year old, and we have six chickens. He used to get along with them fine, but ever since my female Welsh went broody and hatched out nine babies he's been mean. Not just to the chickens, but to her and the babies. We have the momma duck and babies in a kennel and...

My male has the top half brown and the bottom half blue on his left eye and on his right it's half blue and brown too but vertically not horizontally. Is this normal or just super cool? My female welsh has only brown eyes

Nine of Fourteen eggs hatched Monday. I did the float test today to check the five that didn't hatch and they all checked out as good eggs. The momma duck still sits on them but it's been almost three days since the others hatched and two seem to be rotten. What do I do?

9 of my Welsh harlequin eggs hatched yesterday and the mommas been pretty protective, which is understandable, but when she brought them out of the nesting spot the daddy duck picked one up and shook it before throwing it down. I ran over and got him before he could do it again but now I'm...

This is my first time with ducklings and the mom is keeping the hatched eggs under her, she gets mad when I try to take them. There are still some un hatched eggs that have started pipping and they're getting a little pushed out, is this normal?

I know this question has been asked loads, but I've not found a straight answer to it. The eggs are due to hatch sometime through tomorrow and Tuesday. I've read it could be rotting or it could be ready to hatch as it is too big for the egg. Is there anything else it could be? I don't know if...

My Welsh Harlequin has been sitting on eggs and they're due sometime between tomorrow and Tuesday, I went out to check on the female today and our male came quaking across the yard really fast and loud. I thought this was odd as he never goes over there, he's usually on the other side near her...

My Welsh Harlequin is sitting on 15 eggs and they're due sometime between Sunday and Tuesday. I have a few questions as this will be my first time with ducklings (We bought the female and our male when they were already older). The male is also a Welsh Harlequin and they are both just over a...
