okay so i’m not sure if i’m being to worried over this but my chick is walking on one foot weird
it’s all curled up underneath instead of flat
the foot will go flat if you make it but the chick wants to walk on it curled
should i leave it be and hope it fixes itself or try to help it?
p.s...
this is mandy.
her beak is very long but i’m not sure what to do. should i just leave it or maybe try to file it down?
please leave some suggestions :)
also the vet does not take chickens so that is not an option unfortunately
ok so here’s the issue…
so basically i have a flock of chickens and recently a singular duck (now named jaqueenie) showed up out of nowhere. i’ve just been giving it chicken food as a short term feed as that’s all i have on hand.
i only have one coop and don’t want to build another just for...
ok so i have a polish rooster who must have lost a couple head feathers in the beginning which made all the hens peck at the bald spot which has ultimately lead to his whole head being bald and the new feathers not being able to grow as they are getting constantly pecked at
i don’t know how to...
can someone please tell me what might be going on with my chicken’s ankles. they are very swollen (both of them) and have been for a while but it hasn’t been bothering her until very recently when she’s been sitting more often than not. there’s no visible cuts either so i’m not sure what to do...
i recently hatched out a white wyandotte and noticed that it was definitely bigger than it’s polish siblings but developed a lot slower than them. just watch that it doesn’t become lethargic and that it’s still eating and drinking.
UPDATE: he/she managed to get free on her/his own! had a bit of trouble walking to begin with but with a bit of help figured it out. i attached some photos as well. i’m about 97% sure she/he is a white wyandotte
so it unzipped a tiny bit but then stopped and has just been chilling for a while, probably nearing 24 hours. should i try to help it out or let it do its thing?
thanks! i use it regularly if my chooks have health problems or if something weird is happening during incubation. i only registered for an account this morning bc i thought why not.
