    Hard lump in abdomen on 2 day old chick

    I would separate her if the other birds are picking at it because then you’ll have a dead bird by morning or so

    Hard lump in abdomen on 2 day old chick

    It’s the umbilicus and don’t pick at it. You can gently clean it. Put some salve on it and keep the little chick warm and hydrated with a little bit of chick food or even scrambled egg.

    EMERGENCY! Prolapsed vent?!?!

    Put her in a warm soak. Let her sit in warm sudsy water. Put a glove on and lube up your fingers, gently tuck all protruding material back in. Then I agree with the sugar water. That will perk her up. Make a nice meal of worms. See how that go. Also, did she lay an egg? If not, when you tuck...

    Balding ducklings?

    Their feathers are coming in? They don't stay fluffy for very long. Pekins especially will be prime at 9-12 weeks of age.

    Places where roosters can crow

    I live outside of town, on a metes and bounds property. I have 2 roosters and my neighbor has one that I slipped into her coop when she wasn't looking.🫣 In my area of Michigan, that is about the best scenario for a rooster. I do have varmints and I have a small 410g shot gun for those pests. 😏

    Name this breed…. Please?

    I bought several chickens from TSC. It’s was like a blue light special🥹. They are all doing well. But for life of me, I have no idea the breed. If you need more pics, I’ll run right out and get more pics. Thank you all!

    Puking 1 week old duckling....ideas???

    Well I'm finally on here. It's been a long busy day. My husband called me around 1:00 today to say he found our new little girl dead. The other 13 are doing fine. So thank you all for your ideas. I believe she had a congenital deformation. Thank you all again.
