I have the same problem with a baby Mourning dove that I found a week ago, she's all sleepy and doesn't have any balance when she walks. I tried to feed her chicks feed starter and now she's on bird seed and Milet.
Please tell me what to do!!
Some of the coop here are insane! This is amazing , I've should've of checked here when I first build my chicken coop.
That's mine , built form a little house that my dad made for my sisters but they didn't play with it so we now use it for our chickens!
Thank you all for your answers!
I did take them 10-15 minute outside today and they really enjoyed it. Eating grass , bugs and swimming in he little "pool" of water.
I always dry them up each time they get out of the water with a towel, even if the bath time is inside, I don't want them to...
I did make sure it was without iron, I read too that it wasn't good for ducklings.
Somebody I know said they have some at home , he'll double check for me tomorrow and maybe give me some, and I'm going to double check myself to make sure it's Brewer's yeast. If not I'll continue to search in...
Thanks for your answer @Amiga !
She is still with me , i'm So Happy. She is doing better, she is now capable of drinking water without falling on her back , and she sleep like my two other ducklings ( Not on her back anymore )
Right now I'm giving her 2x a day Poly-Vi-Sol ( Vitamine for...
Hi there!
It's a beautiful day today , and it's going to be about 20-21* degrees outside and I was wondering if I can put my little ducklings that I just got outside ? They're about a week old I'm pretty sure , the store told Us they were 1 day old when we got them but they were so big ... I...
I Diyed a brace around her neck ( Scott towel and scotch tape ) she can't twist her head that much anymore , maybe that will help for the night , and when she fall on her back , the brace seems to help her stand up more easily. Only problem , I don't know if she can drink on her own with it. Is...
Hi there!
Me and my mom are currently raising chickens and we wanted to add 4 littles Ducks to our flock. We ordered some at our local food farm supplies store and we picked them up today.
We ordered 3 females and 1 male. I think that the store sold the duck only for meat at the end, because...
I decided to to pull it out of the incubator and help him out.
He's completely out of the shell and I put him back in the incubator for him to dry out.
Thank you for your help!
I hope he turn out okay!
Hi there !
My eggs due today are hatching but I fear one might need my help! He piped yesterday around 11;30 am , and it's been 24 hours and I think he's stuck because of the membrane has dried out. I cannot open the incubator yet because an other chick has just hatched minute ago and he's all...
Hi there!
One of my chick hatched to week ago but he was the only one out of 3 eggs to hatch. Since then , he has been alone in the brooder with lot of affection and stuff to do ( I gave him a mirror , some baby perch .. ).
Three days ago , I had 2 other little chicks that hatched. They're...

My Hen EE , Rosalie ( Rosa' )
And my little one always in the way

Does anyone heard of Silkies x Easter Eggers? I have one rooster EE and I taught of breeding him with one of my Silkies ! But since the Silkies are kind of fluffy and the EE has more feather I was wondering what kind of chicken would that make!

Thanks for you answer!
I took out the first egg ,and checked it safely and carefully. It's doesn't seem to come from the inside , but while candling it , I saw that the top part was kind of fissured and that the yolk ( The yellow orange part when you put a flashlight ) was less than the half...
