    Indian Runner duck got its leg chewed off!! Not even a stump left. :*(

    Purplesquirrel, I am so so sorry to hear about this. I would trap and kill the foxes as well as you are very justified. As far as care goes, the day it happened to me I put her in the bathtub to try and wash off her wound. After that I wrapped her up in a towel to warm her up. She was not...

    Yarnchick, like everyone else has said, ducks are extremely adaptable! It's amazing what they can overcome & how well they can heal on their own! Make sure to update us :) Here's another picture of my one legged Poca girl because I just love her so :)

    Indian Runner duck got its leg chewed off!! Not even a stump left. :*(

    Hi all I just wanted to update about my one legged girl. She coops up at night by herself in an ultra safe coop. Her leg has healed up better than I could have ever imagined and she is a spunky little thing. She gets in and out of the pool/pond as she pleases as well as roams around our yard...

    Indian Runner duck got its leg chewed off!! Not even a stump left. :*(

    Hi all, I know this thread is from 2011 so I'm aware that I may not get a response. Last night, it seems a raccoon got the leg of my 4 week old indian runner. It is up by her body where the leg was chewed off and there is a small stump. The bleeding had slowed significantly when we found her...

    7 week old sick pullets???

    Thanks for the replies everyone. They have been under heat for 24 hours. I just got the Corid set up for them along with vitamin B1 free food in hopes that they will eat it when they are ready. Will update you guys with more information soon (hopefully good news!)

    7 week old sick pullets???

    I don't think they have worms simply because I don't see any in their poop, but I've never had a chicken with worms. I gave them some fruit some yogurt and the tetracycline water but I don't think they've drank or eaten any. They're under the heat lamp

    7 week old sick pullets???

    The symptoms match for these 2 birds but the other 20 are fine.. AND I paid for them to be vaccinated for Cocci... would giving them corid affect them because of the vaccination? if its not cocci would giving them this affect them negatively? thanks for the replies

    Rhode Island Red laid 1 egg, and hasn't laid for 4 weeks.

    Thanks for the info foreverlearning. I thought she may be hiding eggs and I had problems with another hen hiding them so they stay in the coop until at least one of the 3 hens lay. I'm almost 100% positive that she is not hiding them because I have kept her in the coop for a couple days to see...

    FireflyNights, I grew up on the Treasure Coast in Palm City! Small world. I had success with my raspberries this summer and I got a bunch before the chickens found them and started eating them. After september they were done flowering and producing. When is the right time to trim the stalks...

    Hi all, My Rhode Island Red is 33 weeks old (8 months), and laid her first and only egg at 29 weeks old on Nov 1st. She is not the youngest hen, but I belive she is on the bottom of totem poll. She doesn't get picked on or tormented by other hens or even the rooster for that matter. We live...

    Easter Egger Sexing "tips and tricks" *Pictures Included*

    Hi all, here is my EE (part araucana) supposed roo. Most agree that it's a he but s/he has no pointy saddle feathers.. Maybe he's a late bloomer? S/he's rumpless. I've been searching for someone else who has something like this but all that I've found have tails. I'd love to see if anyone else...
