Could it be mites? We had another sick bird a while ago and took her to the vet and he saw mites. We have treated the coop twice since then but I never can see any on the birds...I hope they aren't all slowly dying :(((

Went out to feed and water tonight and noticed one of our hens was laying in the corner of the coop instead of perching. I figured something was wrong so we picked her up and moved her, sat her back down and she is all wobbly. Doesn't want to move her left leg - trying to take steps with the...

Thanks :) I like your idea most! haha Plus, their wings are clipped. I know they wouldn't make it out there alone, having no skills on surviving or getting food.

When one of them got sick within the first week that we got them we took them to a local vet who does almost very animal around, he even has cared for lion cubs! He told me that I was doing the right thing and that they could never be released because they were now domesticated.

I rescued baby Mallards from a busy parking lot back in April. They are nearly grown now and we only lost 2 after bringing them home surprisingly and we have 6 left. Last week I had a lady come by to check out the farm to see if we are a good canidate to take in some feral barn cats that she...

HOur chickens will be 2 next month. We lost our beloved Fluffy a few months ago to an egg traveling into her body and she seized at the vet and died :( Today I went to do daily feeding and watering and I saw that our first hatched, Carlton, was dead :( She was just laying on the coop floor...

So one of my mallards got away from us never to be seen again. Her sister also flew away one day, slipped through the smallest gap between zip ties where the roof and fence meet in the run. Miraculously she flew right back around, we put the others in the coop and left the door open and she...

Tonight one of my ducks escaped somehow and my dogs noticed it wondering in the yard. I was in shock because I had just put all of them in for the night since it started pouring out. When me and a friend went in to put them away one flew up against the fence and I am thinking she found a small...

I just bought some DE and Sevin to make my girls (And guys) a dust bath area. Any suggestions on how to make it? 2x4's, wooden crate, rubbermaid container? And should I cover it during rain or anything? I am excited! Most of their run area is so packed down that they can only have a dust bath...

Oh yes! I LOVE them! I just bought one for their feeder. May be a good idea for a waterer, too. Does your ducks make it really muddy? Whenever I put a bowl of water out for mine it is muddy within minutes!

They are in and out of their coop with a fenced in area.

We have now month old mallard ducklings and we are going through water like something else. We bought a poultry waterer at TSC but its not deep enough to dunk their bills in. Where can I find one appropriate for ducks. Also, they go through about 2 gallons of water a day and its still empty. I...

Thanks everyone I really appreciate it!

Where may I find Sevin dust?

I have been googling and there seems to be a lot of good recommendations for Diatomaceous Earth. I may see if I can find some at TSC or a local smal feed store.. Anyone have experience with this?

I can't help much but just wanted to say sorry for your losses. You may want to think about building them a run. I have a nice one for my chickens and haven't had any animal related losses since we got them nearly 2 years ago.

Please help :( Let me start off by saying our chickens are our pets, really - I love them as much as my dogs and cats. Our most FAVORITE hen died today, Fluffy Face. I noticed her totally not herself last night so we made a vet appointment. The vet said she was emaciated, we had no clue...her...

I did not check her crop. Should it be hard or no? I did as I have seen in other threads and removed her, gave her a warm bath and cleaned the poo off of her. I dont know what exactly to feel for but I tried to feel around down there and didnt feel anything egg-like. She did feel warm to the...

Anyone else? Please .... :(
