I have 15 ducks and an incredibly small tub for them at the moment while I wait for my new one to be made so I’d say it needs to be changed AT LEAST 3 times a day but that’s doable for me :)
Thank you very much! I think I’ve done just about everything possible now. About 2 hours ago I applied a haemorrhoid ointment and tried again then put him in the pet crate and when I went to check on him again a few minutes later it was out again :( I think the solution here would be so have a...
Here’s a photo of how it looked last night when I discovered it (sun doesn’t set until 8) and this morning it actually looks a bit better? It’s a bit more red and vibrant but the end is still pretty dark looking
My 3.5 month old Indian runner drake seems to have a prolapsed phallus. I noticed it yesterday morning from far away but thought it was just a piece of poop stuck to his feathers tbh then last night I caught him and discovered what it actually was when I went to go close them in the coop and...
This was my 2nd ever case of dealing with it where the previous one was over 2 years ago but I’m definitely adding a calcium to my chicken medicine cabinet for in case!

I’m about to try massaging again so maybe there’s hope now if the previous very short one managed to get something done, the egg is now also sitting closer down the tract than this morning when I started treating it! Sadly none of the poultry vitamins I have on hand currently contain calcium so...
A few minutes ago I tried massaging the egg out again and some very stinky liquid poop came out which is probably more of a good than bad thing here I guess :)
I’ve searched through the cabinets and couldn’t find any except my prescription 50 000IU vitamin D supplements that definitely won’t do lol. Both pharmacies in town have already closed for the day due to it being a public holiday and I have no form of transportation to the grocery store someone...
Yesterday I noticed me pekin hen sitting very still and strangely outside through the window but didn’t think much of it and assumed she was probably just napping and when I went out at night to check on them she was in the coop on her usual sleeping place. This morning she was just sitting in...
