    Thread formerly known as Hatch day is today

    Well, the duckling didn't make it. :( I'm leaning toward infection. The other foot started some swelling and looks like one of the eyes too. Thank you for all the advice tho.

    Thread formerly known as Hatch day is today

    No, it didn't swell up till a few hours after he hatched. Momma duck kicked him out, so we've had to take him in (heat lamp and all, thank goodness I still had everything set up from the chicks). He's not doing too well. :( Got him to drink some of the vitamins and electrolytes last night a few...

    Thread formerly known as Hatch day is today

    Hope I'm doing this right. Someone else suggested I ask this question here too. Originally asked it on the duck thread: Duckling with swollen webs? Anyone seen this before and know what to do... if there is anything to do? Hatched today, Muscovy. Only one foot is like this.

    Duckling with swollen webs?

    Hen died and found underdeveloped egg? beside her

    To add to the description of what I think was an egg, it was "meaty", not fluidy at all, completely solid but not rock hard, could cut it easily with a knife.

    Hen died and found underdeveloped egg? beside her

    Hi, new to chickens, about 8 months into it now. Had a hen die the other night and don't know why. Found what looked like an underdeveloped egg (or one that did not develop correctly) beside her on the ground. Have pics of it. Can anybody tell me if that is what it is and if that is what...
