    Need Help

    One of my runner duck hatchlings came out of the egg with some "goop" anyway...it was attached at the belly and I am afraid it has pulled some of the intestines out with it. Is there anything I can do? There is no free flowing blood or mucus or anything. It appears dry. Suggestions.

    apple cider vinegar everyday?

    I was told by my chicken man (old timer at that) to wait until they were of good size and then to use the cider vinegar about once a month for the worms, etc. I think that they need plain old H2O majority of the time, right?

    Silkie chicks?

    I picked out 6 with good vaulted skulls and lively little peeps. I hope that they turn out well. I hatched 3 with my students a couple of weeks ago so they are in brooder #2 in the basement. It surprises me though that TSC had them. Even more surprised that I had to tell them what they were...

    Silkie chicks?

    While at my local TSC tonight I stumbled upon a brooder of "Assorted Bantam" chicks. Upon further examination I noticed that they all had 5 toes, black skin and beaks as well as black feet. Can you guys think of anything else these could be? I will post pics ASAP. Thanks
