Hey guys, I discovered a few days ago that my duck had limp and a bit of swelling in her leg joint, it has traveled to her toes and has gotten worse. Its hot to the touch and she has a black toenail. She do have a small scab which I know is bumblefoot but I'm wondering what exactly it could be...
Wondering what happened as one of my hens is having the same problem on her wing, I do have a rooster in the coop too. Also what can I use for more protein? I live in an isolated area
I'm really not sure! I just noticed her out in the pen with her leg in front of her, but I did notice the rooster having his way with the other pullet, he may have injured her?? Or jumped off a roost?
I just had a pullet die, she was 17 weeks. I noticed this past Saturday that her leg was out in front of her and she was walking on the back part of her leg, where her leg bends. *I can’t remember the name of it*, I took her inside and she was still able to hobble around, eating and drinking a...
They were in a cage next to the chickens pen for 2 weeks where they could see each other all day long, they had 3 sessions of meet and greet on neutral ground as well
Okay I need some advice,
We have had chickens for over a year now, we’ve learned ALOT in a short period of time, including playing vet since we’re 400km away from one.
We incubated eggs and ended up with 2 hens and a “special” rooster (the special rooster is living in the house with us) They are...
Hey guys, We just discovered one of our pecan ducks has blood around her vent, there was a bit of blood, but we ruled out a broken egg since we have 6 ducks and 6 eggs were laid today. I also had my finger poking around in there, and couldn’t feel any broken shell or a egg. I discovered a...
Hey everyone, I was on here a couple months ago about my young drakes penis being prolapsed, it retracted on it's own and never had a problem since! Until now! We noticed today that it's out even further, and must've been for a couple days, it looks as if ththe girls were picking at it, its sore...
I love that idea! But unfortunately my boyfriend thinks a different way then myself, he says were feeding them for nothing, they don't produce anything for us. And feed is very hard to get now that the stores have stopped supplying it. 😞 its gonna be more of a fight then he thinks when it's...
I already have 2 roosters, one is in the hen coop with 3 hens, the other is in the duck coop with 2 hens. We ended up with 6 last spring and gave 4 away, no one around here is going to want just a rooster and by the looks of it we now have 2 out of 3 from our last hatch, it's a curse to have a...
Thanks everyone but all you just broke my heart. I really wanted to keep "her" I get so attached and it breaks my heart when they have to be put down 😞
