I have 3 female khaki campbell ducks, only a year old, and recently I’ve noticed they’re laying a lot of twin eggs. They’re very small ducks, so the eggs are nearly the size of their heads :rolleyes: Just wondering what might cause this, considering about 70% of the eggs are twins. The ducks are...

All goats have access to mineral recommended by the vet as well as alfalfa/clover hay blend.

We were advised by the vet to stop feeding them pellets, so they’re being fed hay now.

He was sure it wasn’t the joint. He said the location of the issue was within the pads, not bones or joints. The actual hoof looks normal, which is why it was such a mystery to us at the beginning. I’m up north in the US, so the temps have ranged from 6F to about 25F. They have both indoor and...

My goat Calvin has been experiencing issues with his front hooves for ages. A few months ago we had a vet come check him out and they gave him antibiotics for a UTI (UTI may have caused some of the walking issues before, but it’s cleared up now) and said his hoof soreness was something that...

I have a one year old EE hen and I noticed she’s considerably smaller than my other hens. She was hatched as a runt and had to be nursed back to health as she was a much weaker and smaller chick. Is this normal? She’s very talkative and energetic, and eats fine. I can’t tell if she’s been laying...

I checked her for bumblefoot since I’ve had other experiences with it. There didn’t appear to be anything wrong. She passed peacefully this morning, just fell asleep and stopped breathing. I could send her in to determine a cause of death, but it seems like she was just getting old.

I have a 5 and a half year old hen who’s been acting lazy for the past couple weeks. It started as roosting earlier than the others, and progressed slowly to sitting on the floor in her nest, not moving with her head tucked under her wing. She’s still breathing, but hardly flinches when I touch...

My EE hen has been limping lately and holding her foot up when standing. I picked her up to check for bumblefoot but there’s no bumps or scabs. I did notice her toe seems to be crooked and could be broken. As you can see there is a small bump over the joint, but I don’t think it’s related to...

My 3 year old goat has recently been walking with very stiff legs, waddling, keeping his head down, and sitting frequently. He’s a fixed Pygmy male. (Black goat with brown stripes on head) He also seems to always sit with one leg extended as seen here: Or down on his knees like this: he’s...

I have three young female ducklings (only a couple months old I think) and we need to move them outside before their indoor pen becomes too small for them. So far, our idea for the setup will include a duck house with their food and water inside, netting covering the super exposed area, a tree...

Last time I checked, her crop was firm (not watery, not rock solid) and she was acting peppy. That’s why we moved her back. I don’t know why she’s so bony and thin if she’s been eating like normal. I will try readdressing her symptoms tonight and see where that gets us. Thanks for the help!

I had a hen who had sour crop about 2 weeks ago. It was BAD. Eventually though we were able to help her recover and she was acting completely normal again. Today we put her in with the rest of the flock and she seemed okay. Tonight I checked on her and she has her wings and tail down, acting...

I have 3 two week old ducklings and we’ve been trying to figure out how to fix an issue with the amount of mess they’re creating in the brooder. It’s almost time to move them to a bigger pen, but for now we have one runt that needs to stay in the brooder a little longer so we’re giving it a...

Thanks! The temperature right now DIRECTLY under the heat lamp is 85F so I’ll raise the lamp a bit. I made sure they have plenty of space to escape the heat if they need it.

I have 3 khaki Campbell 2 week old babies on their way! So far we’ve been setting up for their arrival and I needed a bit of advice. It’s been 3 years since I’ve received new ducklings and I don’t want to mess up! 1.) is straw okay for bedding? I’ve always used shavings but our shipment is...

we had stopped giving them calcium a while ago but I think we still have some crushed oyster shells stored away. I’ll start mixing some in with their food. The other hens were doing fine without the supplement, it just seems she has a bit of a wonky system :rolleyes:. Her previous owner gave her...

I recently adopted a hen from a family who couldn’t care for her anymore. They told us she would sometimes lay “weird” eggs, but she was fine for a good while after we got her home. Her eggs had strong shells with the minor imperfection of a few bumps. Lately I’ve been collecting weak shelled...

We will start miconazole treatment tomorrow. As for tonight, her crop surprisingly shrank! It’s smaller and less “soupy”. Almost feels normal as if she just ate. She had the energy to preen her feathers a bit today and doesn’t spit up brown liquid upon trying to eat. We’re still making sure not...

They look the same as my Easter egger pullets did when we got them. I’d say with 90% certainty that you got some beautiful EE babies.
