    Think I misidentified my chicks (5wks)-Lots of pics!

    How were you able to tell as chicks the Bielefelder vs the CCL and were you right? Have both coming from a hatchery this week and not finding any posts about how to tell these 2 autosexing breeds apart in any way as day olds.

    Duck shoes? Where can I find duck shoes!!

    Duck shoes…Where to buy some??

    We’re treating bumblefoot now and can’t get the shoes in time so this is what we’re using . They’re for dogs at the pet store and cost 20$ for a 12 pack and come in different sizes. Foot underneath is wrapped etc and we use waterproof tape to stick these to the ankle

    Duck lost voice, breathing issue and green poop.

    He’s good now(yes she’s a he lol) still doesn’t make much noise but has caught up to the flock in growth etc. I’m still not sure if it was an infection, a fungus or a lodged onject that damaged his voice . It seems he will never be loud either way

    Duck lost voice, breathing issue and green poop.

    Update a few weeks later. Harley pulled through and is doing well though she never really got her voice back. Not sure if it was a fungus that got her vocal chords or if she swallowed something that passed. She’s back with the flock now after isolation and antibiotics and seems to be thriving...

    Duck lost voice, breathing issue and green poop.

    She's now eating and drinking well every few hours, breathing "seems" to have returned to normal (no longer open mouth, laboured or gurgling). Her poop has already returned to normal other than being dark and a bit muddy in consistency today (looks normal when she goes in the water). her voice...

    Hello and thanks for having me, I’ve been reading the forums here for months and have found it very helpful in setting up for our first flock. I live in Canada and we’re currently brooding 12 chickens, 6 Guineas and 8 ducks for the first time. We’ve so far built a brooder in our coop ...
