    Sour Crop?

    Sorry, I should have clarified. She only had maybe a pea sized amount come out when I was feeling her crop. But, the little that did come out was a brownish color. My chickens free range so I'm not sure when she laid her last egg. They all molted recently so production has been down with all of...

    Sour Crop?

    I have a 2.5 year old Easter Egger that has fluid coming from her mouth. I noticed yesterday that she was making a weird sound and was just standing there with her mouth open. I brought her inside and have been keeping an eye on her. She's very alert and acts almost normal. I felt her crop and...

    Rooster behavior with new mama hen

    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...

    Rooster behavior with new mama hen

    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.

    Rooster behavior with new mama hen

    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...

    sick duck

    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...

    duckling with curled foot

    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?

    duckling with curled foot

    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...

    duckling with curled foot

    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.

    duckling with curled foot

    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...

    sick duck

    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.

    sick duck

    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?

    sick 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.

    sick duck

    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.
