    10 ducklings from tractor supply not going so well

    I bought 10 ducklings from tractor supply within about 5 days 6 were dead. Over the next week the others would die too. I'm down to one who I think will be gone soon. I'm trying to figure out what the problem is. Whether it is just a bad batch or something I am doing. I have the light...

    Sick chick

    thx. now that I'm looking at it I wonder if it's slipped tendon. I felt both knees but don't really feel a tendon.

    I don't use youtube except to watch videos. I did look up splayed leg and it sounds like that may be the issue. Assuming it is, is it too far gone to fix?

    Sick chick

    I tried uploading video but it says the file is too large. I doubt you'll be able to tell much from the pic but I had to pick up the chick and move it to the waterer, when I did it drank fairly normally but than just lays its head on the waterer. It does chirp like it's healthy and energetic...

    Sick chick

    I’m wondering if I should put it down? It eats and drinks and chirps. It looks alert but it literally does not move. I went to bed at 10pm last night and woke up at 7 am and ther is a pile of poop behind it because it literally did not move an inch. If anyone has any suggestions I’d...

    Yup poop seems normal. It’s been under a light until I brought it in house. I only have one light and left it for others.

    Sick chick

    It is about 2weeks old. When I initially gave it water it perked up but it has returned to not moving.

    Sick chick

    Anyone have any idea on this? I brought the chick in last night and gave it food and water. It eats and drinks but literally does not move. There was a big pile of poop behind it in one place. The poop looks normal as far as I can tell. There was no blood and it looked correct consistency.

    I'm raising cornish crosses for the first time. I have 11 of them and have them with 6 peking ducks. They have all been in a large cattle waterer until today when I moved them into a horse stall. They have 24/7 access to heat lamp, H20, and chick starter feed from tractor supply. They seem...

    How much food???

    I didn't mean to start a political debate but Trump isn't ruling us, he was elected. Canada is a great country but I'll keep my guns, pay for my own healthcare, and pray the govt does ONLY what it does best, which is nothing.

    How much food???

    So based on the two replies regarding the lbs of feed per bird it looks like each bird would consume roughly 15-16 lbs in it's lifetime. $40 for organic seems high, I live in NY and can find it for $23. Maybe it's tax or things are just more expensive there. You guys need to pay for all those...

    how much feed should I plan on using

    I know this probably varies but I'm just looking for a rough estimate. I have 11 cornish rocks and 6 peking ducklings. They are now about 2 weeks old and I have gone through about 1/2 bag of the tractor supply chick starter. Right now I am giving them food 24/7 and soon I plan on switching to...
