    4 day old ducklig started to huff

    Thanks everybody! Here's an update. My little duck, and I do mean little, is growing a tiny bit. Nothing like the rest of the giants that he lives with, but growing. He eats like a starving dog, drinks, and moves just as fast as the rest of the kids. But, he is still huffing. The Oxine...

    4 day old ducklig started to huff

    Absolutely on both counts. This little guy seems to be a runt, not growing as fast as the rest. I wouldn't grow either if I couldn't breathe properly, but he does eat and drink. My next move is to try Oxine ah, waiting for it to come in, hope he can hold on. Seems to have a fair amount of...

    Caked crumbles in chicken's mouth or a disease!

    We have a young hen, I can't remember just how old, 5 months or so, old enough to already go broody. She was very sweet at first, but the older she got, the more distant she got and as a result she is now sleeping in the trees instead of the coop. She has just recently shown signs of...
