    One of my three little ducklings randomly falling over

    Well, I guess it was bound to happen. I was at work when my wife called me in tears. She found Whiskey upside down in the rectangular Sterlite container we have for them to take a quick swim in. I'm unsure what happened exactly but she got to where she would stand up and when she tried to flap...

    Rooster keeps laying down

    I mixed up something that Google said was electrolyte for roosters, I should have inquired about being sure (1 liter of water lukewarm, 1/2 tsp of table salt, 1/4 tsp of baking soda, and 2 TBS of sugar). I've been busy trying to help him, then I fell ill with what the Dr thinks is the flu early...

    One of my three little ducklings randomly falling over

    I'm starting to get more concerned, this morning I noticed Whiskey is even more off balance. Whiskey's wings seem to be twitching as well, so this may be neurological. https://photos.app.goo.gl/KkMQbYb5ZxHCpUDK7 😢

    Rooster keeps laying down

    Copper doesn't seem to be getting any better. It's odd, he had his self with his butt in the air and face down. So he had his legs under him, I don't understand what's going on with my sweet Copper. Any ideas?

    Got the Poultry Cell as recommended and have been giving 3ml daily along with 1ml of Durvet, hoping it will help her...I just hope she doesn't get worse, she's so sweet and I'll be heartbroken. One of my roosters isn't doing well either, I've posted about him on here. He's all laying down on his...

    Rooster keeps laying down

    Gave Copper a Epsom salt soak for about 20 minutes and he did stand up for a bit. What has me concerned is he is starting to lay on his entire side and his legs stretch all the way out with his toes curled at times, his eyes are clear. I'm hoping rest, Epsom salt baths and poultry cell will get...

    Rooster keeps laying down

    I believe his poop looks normal, he doesn't really do much if I feel/squeeze around on his legs and feet. Okay, we will try some Epsom salt soaks for his legs.

    Rooster keeps laying down

    Okay, I'm getting concerned as we brought Copper inside to keep him away from the others as the hens surrounded him and started pecking him. Made him a bed of pine shavings with food and water next to him. He is eating and drinking, started giving him 3cc of Rooster Booster Poultry Cell I...

    Rooster keeps laying down

    No, Blue is simply being kept in the coop with access to food and water. Even with his painless peepers on this morning he was done chasing the hens around causing trouble, so I had to chase him back into the coop. Copper comes out and will limp around then lay on the ground, can't believe the...

    One of my three little ducklings randomly falling over

    Well my sweet Whiskey has been back to acting like she is drunk and stumbling all over again. Found an avian vet and took her, was told it could be neurological, vitamin deficiency or something else. We've started giving her a 4ml of a vitamin complex from the feed store, 1ml of Durvet and the...

    One of my three little ducklings randomly falling over

    The breathing is hard to hear, I've just come to the conclusion that's the sound of how they breathe as all three of them sound like that now that I listen to them.
