First time hatching Muscovy Duck eggs and they seem to be showing no signs of hatching... 1 has developed a really dark part of the egg shell and im worried they may all be dead. I've candled them and attached photos for your opinion. I really have no idea, I thought i'd done everything correct...
My gorgeous daisy has a growth on the actual eyeball - she is in otherwise great health and unfortunately we don’t have any vets around us that will see chickens which SUCKS :(
it was hard to get a decent photo but please have a look and let me know what treatment may work on our gorgeous girl.
Damn can’t post videos?
She’s snuggling with me having a rest right now and has calmed right down. Wondering if I keep her away from the others and quiet for a week and see how she goes as long as she isn’t in pain.
Hi all,
went and filled up the water in the chick pen and found this little lady lying on her side :( it’s hard to see in the video but she seems to have done something up in the joint at the hip. Her leg seems fine it is up a bit higher. Thoughts? Unfortunately the vets in our area don’t see...
Hi all, first time hatching fertile eggs - my sussex has just pushed out 4 of her 6 eggs. Should I place them before under? I’m concerned are they bad or maybe she couldn’t get them back up on the lip of her broodie box....

the collars are awful, alot more negative then positive results really don't like them.
We can't really change our coop it's quite large and there is no real way to keep the sun out. I'll trial the box and see how we go.
Afternoon all,
I've had a very polite complaint from a neighbour that our beautiful Light Sussex Rooster 'King Henry' is becoming a little bit loud from 0430 onward - which I can understand is quite early for some.
We tried the no-crow collar and I will never attempt this again. He is a...
So no judgment, but I give them amoxicillin that’s left over from when my kids have been sick. Only .5ml... I might do that twice a day for 5 days and see if it makes a difference. I’ve been told this is okay to do from a breeder I’ve brought girls off.
No she does the picking on, she’s the alpha hen. Honestly not one thing wrong except for the fact of a physical lump. I wonder if a course of antibiotics would help it? I have given her a one off dose when I lanced the ingrown feather but maybe I should try for a week?
