    Can leg/hip deformities cause egg binding?

    Dang! I gave her calcium, they feel like they are in position to be layed - quite close to the vent, but I can't feel them thru the cloaka. I just can't afford to take her to a 200$ appointment especially since everything I read said this is going to continue to happen after it happens once. If...

    Can leg/hip deformities cause egg binding?

    The area under vent is completely bloated, she's able to poop very runny poos, and I think I can feel 2! eggs. She is not laying after being soaked twice for 20 minutes at a time. Any thoughts?

    Can leg/hip deformities cause egg binding?

    I got my girl because she was the all the rooster's favorite where she was and couldn't be let out of her little coop without fear of injury. She was hatched with twisted toes that never corrected and she walked a little oddly. But she's very sweet and fit right into my girl only group, getting...

    Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

    Anyone want a free friendly easter egger rooster? He is my daughter's pet, but he was supposed to be a she. Philburt is wearing a velcro collar to help reduce noise, but it's not enough. He was hatched April or May 2016. I'm up in Sedro Woolley, would love to find him a home. I've tried CL and a...

    Decrowing Roosters.

    I'm in that position of having a sweet roo that was supposed to be a pullet that is my daughter's pet. I'm looking into the surgery to dramatically reduce crowing noise. Anyone know of a vet in Western Washington? I looked for a home where he'd be happy, can't find anyone to take him. Even...

    Mama Heating Pad in the Brooder (Picture Heavy) - UPDATE

    Wow this thread is huge! I haven't had chicks in years, but I always worried about fires and heat lamps and no light/dark cycles. Ordered my head pad, should arrive today, and then I'm all set to go. I'm not putting that much effort, just the frame, pad, towel. I've never used pressnseal but...

    Weak Chick

    Need some ideas. One of my chicks that I picked up from the feed store yesterday is really week, won't eat or drink on her own. I can get some water with electrolytes in her with an eye dropper, but that's it. The food is medicated crumbles that I made into a mashed gruel, and I can't get it in...

    Quote: Haven't been on the board in ages, but I can answer this one......the literature ALL contradicts itself. Some say raise the feed bowls, some says that increases risk, don't moisten food or do moisten food.....they do seem to agree that heavy exercise right before or after eating isn't a...

    Aggressive chicks

    Glad to hear your prob is subsiding! I'm having a problem with my chicks too. Got two marans chicks from the feed store at 3 weeks old. I had to separate them, and am rehoming one because she is MEAN. Seriously picking and non-stop chasing mean. I separated them, but they were both miserable...

    Quote: someone I know is looking for a few ducks. I don't know anything about ducks, but she wanted something not too small because she doesn't want the eagles to be so likely to steal them away. A runner ducks very big? They are fairly small. Quick though!
