    Sick chicken

    Thank you all... I wish I had stayed up and held her now. It's so hard for me to lose them. With all the other things they can get, I just dont understand why reproductive problems have to be a thing. And then there is this crazy heat. Makes me want to install an air conditioner in the coop lol.

    Help, my ducks are all Drakes

    Well, my ducks did not like the dog food but my organic chickens raced to get in the food! I was amazed! My husband grinds corn for a mill less than a mile away. They grind corn for the moonshine distillers here. The corn is from an heirloom seed and organically grown. I have been mixing some of...

    Sick chicken

    She died the next morning making me wish I had not bathed her or put my finger up her. Maybe I caused her to die :( I just hate it so badly losing any of them :( Thank you all who tried to help me.

    Sick chicken

    Thank you so much. She is so weak I could hardly get her to take water as I gave it to her by syringe. Breaks my heart so much. I am still hopeful though. Thanks for the information, I appreciate it!

    Help, my ducks are all Drakes

    Thanks, at one time I read you can feed them dog food but not sure. This organic feed is too expensive to give them.

    Sick chicken

    I just checked her vent and I could see some yellow dried up stuff I thought I had washed off while bathing her. When I stuck my finger in her vent, moved it around to see if I could find an egg and there was none. I took my finger out and Yellow slimy stuff came out. So what would that be? It...

    Sick chicken

    ed egg and a little wet chicken feed? She needs water first, and electrolytes or Gatorade would be good. I haven't been able to get her to eat or drink since I bathed her. She was trying to drink this morning. I wish I had left her alone now. There was nothing in her vent. I tried to give...

    Sick chicken

    I gave her a bath in Palmolive dish soap and used a blow dryer to set her. She went to sleep as I did this but later I moved her outside. There isn't anything in the crop. To be honest she felt hot there. I meant to mention my flock is raised on Natures Best Orangic Feed. They are fully free...

    Help, my ducks are all Drakes

    Hahaha isn't that the truth though. By chance do you have a suggestion on what I can feed them? I had them spoiled on green beans, corn and crumbles but now that I wint be getting eggs from them I need to feed them something else as my flock is on organic feed. Thanks for the help!

    Help, my ducks are all Drakes
