I'm sorry, I meant "they are very wet" not very cold... I honestly have no idea how to tell if they are cold or not 🙈 The thing is, the mom started laying again about two weeks ago, on her second fertile period of the year, and hasn't been cuddling them since. They seemed fine all day long and...

Hi everyone!! I hope you have info on this.... I have 3 young turkeys, they are 2.5 months old, born on August 19th in the middle of the winter in Chile. Yesterday we moved them along with their mom out of the coop to be with their father, and last night it started raining. It's been raining...

Yes, it is. I've been meaning to update all of you who took the time to try and help me with this issue. So, two - three days after my last comment, one of the others ducklings passed away. He started with diarrhea and suddenly he was gone... the one with the bad leg was getting a liiiiittle...

So, if there's still someone around... The little duckling is still alive, but his leg is twisted. I can't seem to get it fixed!! I've been bracing him but, it worked a bit and now he seems back to his initial status .... I was using tape but it doesn't seem to be doing the job. The bedding is...

Thank you all for your replies... She's had a little electrolytes, and the'll all be given vitamins and other supplements to try and revert the situation. I had no idea mold would be this dangerous. She's not looking as bad as the others so I guess there's still hope... greetings from a little...

I am, I'm just not sure if there's anyone who could do it here... Should I put her down?

I have an issue!! Please, if you can give me any advice I would appreciate it. Two weeks ago I had 2 hens die with the same symptoms: They start stuffing their head a bit, very lethargic, eat little. I haven't seen sneezing, runny noses or anything besides that. Here're the recommended details...

I have a similar issue here... the other way around I have a run and coop with a 3 m/o male turkey, a 4 m/o cockerel, two 4 m/o chicks and seven 18 m/o laying hens. We took a while to get the young ones to meet the hens but it's worked so far, the cockerel was very young so he never abused the...

Nope.... I've seen that, I've had chickens and ducks before. He's definitely bald there

Thank you for your replies!! The patch is on the back of the neck, right under his head... I haven't seen nibbling :-/

You think it still is B vitamin deficiency? They are receiving Brewer's Yeast...

Hi everyone! I hope someone can help me!! I have 3 ducklings, they are around 3 weeks old. About a week ago, one of the ducklings had a weird leg and I read I had to supplement their feed with niacin, 'cause where I live there is no specific food for ducks and they are eating baby chick food...
