I had the same thing happen multiple times. keep the duck confined in a small area and if it gets worse youll know because itll seem to be having seizure type things going on. make sure it is warm too not cold
I have a hen from a close friend's grandparents and ive only had her about a week and ive noticed her toes/lower foot is swollen. I have no clue if its a break or something else but shes limping around trying to keeo weight off and i feel bad for her.
No it's not "just want to put sweaters on them" i cant easily fix the coop to where its not drafty. Excuse me if i dont have the time and money to fix it. I know tarps can be cheap but i own horses andthey take up most of my money. Sorry that i dont have the money.
Sorry if I offended any of you with the chicken sweater thing, and yes I understand why you guys asked those questions, and thanks fir being concerned for my chickens. All I was asking for was ideas for them, and my chickens are getting into pecking order and Im afraid one is gonna become bald...
that happened to one of my old hens. the comb for her was caused by not enough water and electrolytes. we brought her in and gave her Gatorade (they make actual chicken electrolytes but Gatorade works) and we had some powder probiotics and that helped. but idk about the leg. im sorry to hear...
Im reposting this.
Pleas don't comment UNLESS you have an idea. I know whats best for my chickens and lately we have been getting -15 degree weather and another storm is coming next Monday so I want to be ready. my chickens aren't baby babies but they are still pretty young and our coop doesn't...
I know what to do with chickens , okay? Ive had them since I was 4. I understand people are trying to help me, and I did not ask for your opinion either about the sweaters. @barnaclebob
okay people,
let me rephrase my thread...
I am ONLY asking for ideas for chicken sweaters! I did NOT ask for you guys to question me about everything and you DONT need to know how old my chickens are or how my coop is to give me ideas!!! I know that a chicken can over heat! im careful abut...
Yes they are and Our coop doesn't have good protection from the wind either so that's why I was wandering about ideas @aart @cafarmgirl @donrae @kazoo1111
