Hi @Wyorp Rock, I truly appreciate your assistance and thank you for your input.
Last night only one chicken was left in the flock, and I've added 6 more chicks this morning.
I've moved and restructured the brooder space and upgraded the headlamp as well. Also, I've started providing mashed...
Hi @Miss Lydia, Thanks for your message.
I don't see any blood in their droppings. Let me check and understand about it.
These are from a regular pet shop that sells poultry-related and a few more pets. The seller had these in a cage inside the shop, not on the floor. Also, the weather here is...
Hi @Miss Lydia ,
I hope you had a great New Year. I wanted to inform you that I added five chicks to the flock this Sunday. I am unsure of the breed, but the seller mentioned they are egg-laying chickens. (photo attached)
Unfortunately, there have been some issues since they arrived. One chick...
Hi @Miss Lydia , gave her vitamin and antibiotics last night, and she appears to be doing better now. She's eating and even laid an egg. Although she seems a bit weak, she's actively walking and eager for food. Thanks for your help Miss Lydia.
& also I've separated the drake again. Is it common...
I usually add vitamin complex with niacin to their food every day. I missed the last 2 days, but I added it again this morning. For calcium, I mix poultry calcium powder, which I bought locally, with their feed daily.
I just gave some diluted vitamin complex to her with a syringe, since she is...
Hi @Miss Lydia , I thought she had fully recovered, as she was eating well and laid her eggs from yesterday (softshell) and today (hardshell). However, she was completely fine until suddenly not walking and unable to hold her head steady. Her legs seem weak and I'm concerned. I don't know why...
Hi @Miss Lydia, yes i slowly pushed it inside with coconut oil(It was bit scary) and kept her inside the home for few hours .She seems better now, and noticed she was eating food as well, didn't see any softshell eggs so far. Hope she's gonne be ok during next next egg laying cycle.
Poor drake...
I couldn't feel any egg now, (even last time i couldn't feel any turns out to be a softshell egg). I have earlier seen her in a few occasions when she laid one hard shell in the morning and another softshell inside the pond water. Im kinda unsure if its really egg bound still. Vet is pretty rare...
Hi @Miss Lydia , I have a similar problem, but kinda severe this time. I am confused that she took a couple of days rest for egg laying, but noticed she already laid her egg this morning or last night, having her vent looks like this, struggling to walk or pushing extremely hard with her muscles...
Thanks for your support @Miss Lydia
Quick update: I couldn't find Calcium Gluconate for poultry in the town where I am living (in Indonesia); I only found the concentrated version and decided not to feed it, will buy the poultry version online in case of emergency for future purposes. However...
HI @Miss Lydia , Hope you're well. I'm following up on the same thread. I noticed my white duck sitting oddly, with the vent raised and appearing to strain. The vent looks wide open and dark. I initially thought it might be egg binding (got one egg in the morning as usual), so I placed her in...
Hi @Miss Lydia, here is the size comparison, she is a bit smaller than the runner girl (middle) Runners are 5 months old.
The mystery white weighed around 3.63 lbs & 4 months old. & this morning somehow she jumped out of the fence and the runners couldn't do it lol, maybe I should consider...
Hey @Miss Lydia , As per your suggestion, I increased the height of the wire fence (they are not trying to fly out since Thursday), and I gave them a few wooden boxes and they really loved it as well.
On another note, my white duck laid her very first egg today! :D ......I used to believe she...
Hi, One of my girls started laying eggs, it is been a week. Felt so happy & I couldn't have done it without your support, @Miss Lydia , and this amazing community. You've been incredibly supportive, especially when I was clueless about how to raise them. Thank you!
& Regarding the aggressive...
Much Appreciated Miss Lydia.
Haha Sure, Gotta get creative with these duckeys. But it is strange that he let me pick when he is aggressive, normally they won't even let us touch a single feather. And you're right, the water hose might not be available handy, but I'll definitely try the other...
Hi @Miss Lydia
Continuing from our previous conversation in the thread regarding my girl Indian Runner got matured. Now it seems like my boy duck reached maturity a couple of weeks ago. He's been attempting to mate with the two girls, but I haven't seen any success so far. The issue now is...
Whoa, my ducks are growing faster than I thought! I still had this mental image of them as adorable ducklings with feathers, but they've definitely moved beyond that stage, lol.
My boy seems totally uninterested in any romantic endeavors for now (just interested in food). And as for the white...
Hi everyone,
I am reaching out from Indonesia regarding a situation with my three-month-old Indian runner ducks, consisting of one male and two females. Recently, I have noticed some unusual behavior from one of the female ducks (white and brown in the middle). She occasionally leans...
