Prolapsed duck penis HELP!!
That's a good idea, but would have to wash him outside. The water would be too heavy to lift outside with the amount of water I would need for his size. -
Prolapsed duck penis HELP!!
I can't use epsom salt in the bath because it's not good for the septic tank. Once I get an assistant to hold my drake I'm going to take all the scabbing off. Everyone is grossed out knowing that I need help with my ducks penis. Poor Guy!! He keeps trying to tuck it back in, but to no avail. -
Chicken feet
Her feet look very normal to me! Bumble foot is very obvious since the webbing gets swollen as the infection progresses. They also get a hard black scab on the bottom on their foot that needs to be removed.- danegal2

Prolapsed duck penis HELP!!
Well, I have been giving my boy daily baths and keeping him inside. He has retracted the healthy part back in, but the rest is sloughing off. The tip looks like it needs to come off. I'm slowly debriding the dead tissue. Not sure what else to do for the poor guy. -

Prolapsed duck penis HELP!!
My male Rouen as I have discovered this morning, has a prolapsed penis. I thought it was just poop stuck to him, so after a couple of days still hanging there, I took a look. When I went to clean him I noticed the middle part is purple, but the base is nice and pink. I have him inside away from... -
Broody Hen Thread!
Yes you are right, Polly and Molly are Maran/ Easter Egger crosses. I put a cage into the coop this am and moved, the chicks, eggs, and Polly. Molly started to freak out being left out in the coop so I put her with her sister. Now they are both happy and the chicks go back and forth between...- danegal2

Broody Hen Thread!
Hello, After having chickens for a little over a year I have not had one broody chicken. I bought 2 olive hens this spring Polly and Molly and they started to lay for 2 months until they went broody. Why did they go broody so soon? I tried taking the eggs out but they persisted so I let Polly...- danegal2

Do you have a dog???
Hello, I have 2 Great Danes, mom and son, that have been wonderful around my flock. I was not sure how they would react when I bought my chickens, but surprisingly they keep a watch on them. My female protects me when my rooster decides to misbehave and scares him off. Without them, I would not... -
Call Ducks Finally Hatched
Here are some pictures of my baby Call ducklings. The other eggs never hatched so I ended up with 5 healthy babies. The black one is 24 days old today. The others are 25 to 26 days old. The first picture is of the whole family! My drake, Zippy, has been really nice to his babies and allows his... -
curly tail feathers?
I bought my first Call ducks last year and I could tell by their feather markings and quack if they were boy or girls. The curly tail feather was the last visual confirmation that my duck was a drake. I also noticed that my biggest ducklings turned out to be boys and had thicker legs. I... -
Call Ducks Finally Hatched
My Call duck just hatched 4 ducklings on her own over the past 3 days. She left her nest last night and moved to another spot, leaving the other 9 eggs. Two of them smelled rotten, but 3 of them looked like they needed more time. I put the 3 under her which she is still laying on. At this stage... -

HELP SICK CALL DUCK
Thank you for your response. I will have to buy these supplies tomorrow. I am having difficulties keeping him still to open his mouth, so how can I safely put a tube down his throat? He shakes his head every time I try to open his mouth.
