This year had been Hell. Ive rescued and rehomed and given medical treatment to many an animal. But this year has been one to kick a man while he's down, land strike after strike below the belt, and ..... (use your worst torturous imagination to continue the onslaught) The year started strong...

Yesterday my mother brought me a duckling dried and cling wrapped in a stomped egg. The ducklings umbilicus is still protruding slightly and it appears the yolk was completely ruptured. The chick was weak and folded like it wanted to still be in the egg. I didnt expect it to make it, but now...

sooooooo Was given this "coturnix quail" by a lady with chickens because her dog brought it in and she knows you cant house them with chickens... Well it clearly is a baby chicken... and clearly she lacked knowledge for me to comfortably suggest she keep it and try to raise with her chickens...

So... my quail hatched.... 7, yes SEVEN, days early... I have 3 thermometers in my incubator that all matched up staying between 100 and 99.2 the whole process. Well one hatched perfect, healthy happy, full of life. Another... Well she hatched with a bleeding umbilical, and fused toes... I...

hey guys. I am hatching coturnix quail eggs. And out of 105 eggs out 7 batches only ONE egg has made it to hatch day. Im desperate for this little one to hatch, but it is making no noise, and has not progressed with its external pip for 12 hours. If it was a duckling i would not worry at this...

SO... It has finally happened... we got the short straw of the sexed pullet box. I think my jersey giant chick is a cockerel.(lie to me and tell me its just a pretty, masculine girl!) Meet Black Betty... i am disappointed the one with the best name needa to be renamed... or maybe he will keep...

hello backyard chickens! I am incubating duck eggs from my own birds. Gathered fresh and safely stored before adding to the incubator. I checked and candled all eggs before placing for issues and all was well! 10 days before hatch i candled and one egg seems to have had a traveling air cell...

My favorite buff Brahma looks to have had her rear end pecked badly and is struggling to breathe, and has loss of color in comb. What to do. She looks like she might die. 😭 I irrigated it with clorehexidine solution and put silver sufiadazine creme on wound. (My vet prescribed this treatment...

Near Prescott Arizona. Have 11 ducklings in need of new home. They are Pekin between 4 days and 2 weeks old Some are crested (one or two show quality?) I would prefer to be Pets as I have spent a LOT of time socializing to be tame.

I never knew people were this ignorant.... Im trying to re-home ducklings, and a woman messages me saying she wants to release them in a local pond!!!! No! My ducklings are PETS I would rather sell them for slaughter then to be released in a pond defensless! How on Earth am I supposed to re-home...

The last duck to hatch is causing me concern. Her navel was not completely healed, not horrible looking though. I put antibiotic cream on it and into a little bowl in the incubator on a clean wash cloth. Well she has not perked up much, and she has had very wet yellowish poop. Is this a red...

This is an example of what you can expect from breeding a crested duck to a crested duck. The double crested Gene will cause fatal lack of development in the scull causing the brain to be exposed. Here are pictures of the eggtopsy, and why you never want to breed two cresteds together if you...
