    Droopy wing and insane heat

    She can definitely still move and will walk around and try and get away, but she’s also lying down more than usual for sure. I can’t feel any break in the skin or the bone myself so I was suspecting more of a spring or dislocation?

    Droopy wing and insane heat

    Yesterday when I checked on my ladies Metchkin had a limp wing that she seemingly can’t move at all. I’ve never had a wing injury like this and I have no idea what it might be and how to help her. She doesn’t flap it like she’ll still flap the other one. When I checked to feel for a broken bone...

    Egg Complications?

    Thank you! They're still both moving around, and the one with the bloody shell has been getting increasingly more talkative throughout the night. I don't have any reliable way to measure their RH, but I've been dabbing them every half-hourish with warm water and keeping them under the lamp...

    Egg Complications?

    One of our hens became broody and we knew it was about time for them to begin hatching so we went to go check up on things. When we checked on her there were a couple of eggs that seem to maybe be a cause of concern. The first egg seemed to have been stepped on by then hen or maybe pecked by...

    Rouen drake clinging to a hen?

    The females are about 3 months old. We have a small pond for the ducks, but the drake doesn't like when the females use it. He chases them away and never shares, he won't even let anyone else drink from it but his hen and a rooster. The vet said that the injury was most likely caused by a cat...

    Rouen drake clinging to a hen?

    We have got him two female ducks so he could have Some buddies of his kind, however, he seems to have no interest in them. He even chases them away from his hen when they get too close.

    Rouen drake clinging to a hen?

    So we got two duckings about a year ago to raise along side our chickens. When the duckings were still young one got carried away by a predator which left one lonely drake. Our big rooster seemed to look out for him and the hens soon allowed him to join their flock. As he got older he began to...

    Rooster feathers

    Nope, the skin doesn't seem too have any growths at all. It just seems like there are many feathers trying to grow out of the same spot at one time? They've never actually grown out at any point in his life, just always looked similar to that. We took him to a vet a year ago because he was...

    Rooster feathers

    So my speckled Sussex rooster has always had these feathers on either side of his face that never seem to grow in. I don't think it's anything serious but I wanted to know if there was anything I could do to fix it because they seem uncomfortable at the least. At first I thought they may have...
