    Sudden lameness in an adult hen

    Cinnamon is a golden comet. I was feeding them Purina layer pellets, but about two weeks ago switched to nutrewise feather fixer, I have a couple other hen in the flock that had molted. I hadn’t thought about that until now, is it possible that this new food has too much protein?

    Sudden lameness in an adult hen

    My 2 1/2-year-old hen has become lame overnight. I noticed her acting a little lethargic while putting them up for the evening so brought her in to do a thorough check. She has had Bumblefoot that is being treated, but has not gotten worse. I wondered if she was egg bound so gave her an Epsom...

    Will my duck be lonely if it is in a separate enclosure within the larger fenced off duck area.

    She does eat and drink well, I give her the Purina duck pellets and a healthy serving of mealworms scatter out to encourage her to move around and get extra protein. I would like to give her something for a little bit of pain management as she is healing but I don’t know where to get the...

    Will my duck be lonely if it is in a separate enclosure within the larger fenced off duck area.

    Thats what I have been doing for my injured girl during the day while I’m at work is putting her in a large dog crate out in the run so she isn’t by herself inside while she is heeling. That has worked okay for the time being but isn’t going to work for the long run.

    I do have one female who is a little more friendly I could try to put with here, but would that upset the other female? Going from a large space to a smaller one?

    i have a rescue khaki Campbell duck named Nelsa that is handicapped (attacked by a snapping turtle and lost one toe resulting in decreased mobility) and I dont think she can live with the main flock any longer (1 drake, 6 female). She became lame again and I suspect it is due to being mounted by...

    Help sexing khaki Campbell ducks

    I have one other Swedish Blue who is definitely a Drake also. Is three boys in a flock of eight too many? All except one are of the same age and have been together since day one. I have one older duck who is handicapped(lost a toe to a snapping turtle at her previous home)

    Help sexing khaki Campbell ducks

    I have two kaki Campbell ducks that I am trying to figure out if they are drakes or not. I know, listening to them is the best way to tell, but they are extremely quiet /non talkative and difficult to hear, especially amongst the other ducks. They are around 11 weeks old.
