    Coccidiosis?? Or not??

    Gotcha! Thank you for the info. I am fairly sure they haven’t been exposed. But thank you again! It can’t hurt to treat them then.

    Coccidiosis?? Or not??

    Thanks for your reply. They have not been outside at all. I got them from a local hatchery but their babies are all inside in brooders too. I get chicks from these folks regularly too. I thought all chicks/chickens have coccidiosis in their imlntestines regardless and they get exposed as they...

    Coccidiosis?? Or not??

    I need help with chick poo. These babies are approaching 2 weeks old. I have had them a week and had them on medicated feed, prior to that I am not sure if they were on medicated feed, I don’t think so. Some of these poos look strange to me. They are also getting probiotics in their water. I...

    When To Put Ducklings Outside

    How sweet!! your gals are beauties! I am in the south so we are a bit warmer; however, this time of year is all over the place. Definitely wishing I had done this in the summer.

    When To Put Ducklings Outside

    Thank you, that is kind of what I have been doing. They don’t seem to get cold even when the sun starts to go behind the trees in the afternoon. They huddle up together but they snuggle in the sun too. They seem perfectly content and they have been avoiding the heat source in their brooder for...

    I am new to ducklings (long time chicken keeper) and I am having trouble deciding if I can put my ducklings outside yet.

    Impacted Crop - Need some guidance

    You’re absolutely right about that. It hurts to lose them. I am thankful I was with her, hated the thought of her dying alone. Thank you for your kind words! :hugs

    Impacted Crop - Need some guidance

    Thank you for your sweet comment. I’m sorry to hear you lost one to similar issues. Such a helpless feeling watching them go. I just held her. I know she isn’t suffering anymore but definitely miss her. Passing out treats is not the same. She was always first in line! Thank you again :hugs

    Impacted Crop - Need some guidance

    Thank you for your reply. I am sorry for my delayed response as well. I had a feeling that it was her other issues that ultimately caused her digestive system to shut down. Sadly she did not make it, she died last night. But I was with her in her final moments. I am always sad when I lose one...

    Impacted Crop?? Help!

    She just had a poo. First pic is what it looks like in the crate, i dabbed with a white papertowel so you can see the funky color. The “chunks” are just the pine bedding. Editing to add one more photo. She went on a towel I have her on while I massage her crop.

    Impacted Crop?? Help!

    I will try to get a picture. Droppings are not solid at all, she is in a crate in my garage with pine bedding. Very watery, yellowish, but there is white urates in them too. Frankly I am not sure she is drinking much anymore. I was thinking if what she had a few mos ago was lash egg then there...

    Impacted Crop?? Help!

    I have a hen that I think may have impacted crop; however, there may be something else causing her digestive system to shut down. Saturday she was lethargic and did not show interest in eating, just laid in front of waterer and drank a lot of water. She even slept in a nest box about an hour...
