Yes, thank you! I have tried electrolyte water, antibiotics, and vitamins and nothing seemed to help long term so I’m at a point where I’m not sure I can know what’s wrong with her and if it’s treatable without a vet

Yeah, unfortunately that’s where I’m at she just looks miserable and always so confused it breaks my heart but my little girl i hatched her from a chick and she’s always been so nice it’s a lot harder when they are friendly! Thanks for your advice! I think I will take her to a vet then since...

She is back to the same thing again, she was shaky for probably a week before I saw the first seizure and then she had 4 in the course of 5-6 hours and is still having them now however I’m not sure how often but she will flip upside does and go stiff and shake for about 20 seconds and then she...

Hello, fellow chicken lovers! so my girl latte (paired with the other hen pumpkin) has been having issues for a while now. She’s been off balance, shakes/trembles when you first pick her up (it’s gotten worse), holds her wings down almost all the time and she has seizures which have also gotten...

Okay thank you! I put her inside the coop in the large dog crate overnight while the other ducks are in and then when the other ducks were in the run/ free ranging i let little one out in the coop. The mama seems good with the babies but I can definitely now see that they can’t understand each...

Okay thank you! Both the adults are female Muscovys and then the ones we just hatched are mixed but no Muscovy in them. That’s interesting though, I knew muscovys were different from ducks but I didn’t know they can’t really talk to each other but it makes sense since they don’t quack! So the...

Hello fellow duck lovers! So almost 6 weeks ago we went and picked up a lone Muscovy duckling from a family member of a friend, it was found in a parking lot all by itself wandering and the lady didn’t want to just leave it there but didn’t know what to do with it so that’s why we took it. We...

Yeah, I think they do but they haven’t ever had worms before. I will make sure to keep a close eye on them though. Thank you Edit: also I forgot to mention we also have ducks and ducklings, should I worm them as well? The same dosage?

Okay I will get that ASAP and treat them, we have dogs and cats that go outside where they free range, do you know if they can get it as well?

Hello fellow chicken lovers! I found a poo from one of my girls (not sure who as they free range and we have 22 chickens) I usually de worm them or add DE to their food but recently have fallen behind with that due to some rather needy new animals which I know I shouldn’t have. I’m wondering if...

I think she can absolutely thrive with some extra care. I have one chicken who is blind in one eye and although it’s not the same as a fully blind chicken, she does thrive and she’s a free ranger. I know that you will definitely have to probably only keep her with one or two other hens that...

Can she walk okay?

And entry #3 these were from 2020 but it’s just the funniest and cutest thing! One of the chicks were copying mama dust bathing. They were I believe a week old in the photo
