    Hatchling not eating

    She drank water!!! Hallelujah 🙌🏻. Put a fresh dish of warm water next to her food bowl and she went right up to it and drank twice out of it. I couldn’t be happier!!! Now a couple more days for the mornings to be a little warmer and then off with her flock she goes.

    Hatchling not eating

    She’s not really drinking plain water. So I mix a good amount of water with her food where the mixture is more like a very runny oatmeal. She’s eating a lot now on her own. I keep a dish with water next to her food dish in hopes that she will drink. If she doesn’t then I have water handy to add...

    Hatchling not eating

    I don’t remember seeing any yolk in the shell. If there was it was a super small amount mixed with a very small amount of blood. She is stating to eat on her own and is now strong enough to follow me around everywhere. I’m still concerned that she is not eating enough. I ground up duck start...

    Hatchling not eating

    I helped a duck hatch from its shell. Ive had it in my home for 24 hours now. I have to force feed him after trying to get him to eat starter crumble. It’s just not catching on to food or how to eat. What should I do?

    Colloidal Silver Dosage

    I know this post is older but I would appreciate some guidance. I have a duck with Bumblefoot. I drained and have been treating with clindamycin 100mg. She is improving but very slowly.

    Blue Seal Home Fresh Chick Starter smells!!!

    Just bought my first egg layer chicks with a 50lb bag of Blue Seal crumble feed (medicated). Got my little ladies home and opened the bag of feed. The smell! It smells like pee. There are also some mushy chunks of the crumble throughout the bag. I’m afraid to feed my babies this feed. Is this...
