    ducks? ,

    Can ducks be friendly if raised from hatchling and handled frequently? I've always wanted ducks. ...but I'm suspecting they aren't as cuddly as I had hoped. How often do they lay? From what age do they begin laying. How few can I keep without them getting lonely?

    How Long?

    We had to drive out of town to have her seen, but they splinted her and instructed us to bring her out for snacks until the aggressive hen realizes she's not leaving and inspects her without harm. Well yesterday I had to replace their old coop. ..when I did I brought Henrietta out to see. The...

    I've been bringing her outside for snacks with her sisters everyday and just putting dominant hen in the run when she becomes violent.

    not perching/flying

    Henrietta has a broken leg but is splinted and able to get around. We've been exposing her to her sisters daily. The dominant hen finally stopped attacking her so last night I left her in the chicken run. She hasn't attempted to fly or perch at all. Should I be concerned at all if she's...

    How Long?

    Day 4 To answer your question, she was snatched up by a wolf dog and shook violently. We lost our roo in the attack. She's suffered a broken leg with no puncture wounds or reason to suspect other wounds. I brought her outside to a quiet lawn with a gentle sister and she ate a few live meal...

    HELP injured hen (5mo) please give advice on symptoms

    I tried the sling, but she panics and I think may be more damaging to try to put anything on her

    HELP injured hen (5mo) please give advice on symptoms

    She's doing MUCH better. She can't put any weight on the leg, but she can get around. For the most part she doesn't budge or even try to move. But occasionally she'll stand on her good leg, pass some droppings and hobble a few inches away and lay down. I've been so worried about her. She finally...

    Reintroduction? After only 4 days???

    Thank you! Is it too late to do that now? I'd still have to go shopping to pick up stuff to do that. . And wouldn't she need another coop. ...or? I haven't even seen her attempt to fly or perch. She's got an awful limp and barely hobbling, her foot is turned in and she steps on it. I had her...

    Reintroduction? After only 4 days???

    Sweet Henrietta was attacked and, thankfully, only mildly injured. She's been quarantined in a bathroom for a broken leg. Today is day 4. She's refusing foods so yesterday I brought a gentle sister to a quiet yard with her for comfort and they ate some meal worms. Today I brought her to the...

    To Mix or Not To Mix? That is the question.

    I read to not give electrolytes/vitamins until the chicken has completed all antibiotics. But the vet supply and feed shop I got them from recommend I mix them together. Thoughts?
