I hope that's all it is. Like I said, he's been awesome up til now and he takes such good care of his girls. There were a couple of times our mean rooster had me cornered and would not back off and Henry ran up and attacked him and I was able to get away. I'm hoping he'll calm down after I let...

I can't let her and the chicks loose yet. I tried that a couple days ago and all the other chickens started attacking the chicks. Thankfully, none of them were injured. We will definitely be keeping an eye on him. He's a big boy so I really, really hope he's not turning mean.

I had a question about the way our rooster has been acting. We had a broody hen hatch some chicks last week. I have them separated from the rest of the flock, but they can still see them. Henry, our rooster, has always been been friendly. He has never liked to be touched, but has never tried to...

I never did post an update. Our duck made a full recovery and is back to normal. I still don't know what was wrong with her. Maybe it was something she ate? I kept her inside for a few days and kept her warm. Peas were the only thing she was interested in eating for a couple days and I put some...

I've got one more question. How long do I leave the boots on? I got some of the poultry cell and gave it to him and also used the terramycin ointment. He still doesn't seem to be able to see very well though. How often should I put the ointment on him?

No, I don't have any poultry cell. Although, I can get some this afternoon. I do have an electrolyte/vitamin powder from McMurray Hatchery that I've been putting in its water. It hasn't flipped over anymore since I first posted but still has a hard time getting around. I did make some little...

Both eyes look like this. I've been getting it to get and drink, but it can't get around on it's own right now. It has perked up though.

Hi, I had a question about our little duckling. I was testing out a new incubator with 3 duck eggs. Only 1 developed and pipped on Sun (March 5th). Yesterday (the 8th), it still hadn't made any progress so I assumed it had died. But, when I picked up the egg, it started chirping and trying to...

Although, I did pick up some Purina duck feed and offered that to her too. She wasn't interested in it either.

It's the Tucker Milling show flock layer 22.

I'm sorry that happened to your duck. I hope it doesn't happen with mine. She seems to have perked up a little but still isn't interested in eating much. She's been eating some peas, but that's about it. I have some antibiotics on hand for my goats, would that be safe to give to my duck?

Not that I know of. Her feed has been fine. She does free range so there's a chance she could've found something, but I have no idea what.

The one on the edge of her foot looks like it might have a scab. I'm getting ready to leave but will check when I get home. And sorry to be posting so many poop pics. I just know it's not normal and that's just about the only symptom she's showing besides not being as active or eating much.

She just did this. Could it be an internal infection or maybe coccidia?

And she's got 2 questionable spots on her foot.
