    Duckling possibly choking?

    I believe you’re correct. I think she ate too fast then got choked and had some issues getting it down. She’s recovered for the most part. No more head shaking or goo. She’s been Laying around a bit more then my other ones , but otherwise seems fine. Drinking and eating fine. I added a little...

    4 AM: A problem or totally normal?

    Bumble foot on each foot

    Upon inspecting my flock today, i was checking feet and one of my hens “fat bird” has developed bumble foot on each foot. Is it worth doing surgery to try to remove the infection or would it just be too much for both feet? I hate having to put any animals down, especially my pets. I just don’t...

    Mycoplasma?

    You are amazing! Just relieved so much stress. Would it be okay for the rest of my flock to drink it as well or will i still need to isolate her? And do i need to do anything else to help her? Is there any other medicine or treatment of any kind that can benefit the tylan powder? Again, thank...

    How can i tell which hen is laying which eggs?

    I’d like to hatch some of my black sex links eggs, as well as some of my Brahma/Rhode Island reds, but i have no earthly idea of which eggs are theirs. I have mostly silkies and silkie mixes. Is there anyway to tell at this point with all of them laying?

    Hen hasn’t come back with the flock

    i have a Silkie mix who is usually right with the flock, never really goes off on her own. She’s been missing for a few hours today. Noticed she was gone when we moved our chickens run and coop. It’s now dark and she still hasn’t shown back up. I’ve looked all around, in trees, under the shed...
