    The EMERGENCY Thread!!!

    I thought I would update you on the chick with wry neck. She's eating chick food and scrambled eggs. You can probably see how full she is in the video below. She had just had her nightly scrambled eggs. I put her with one of the other smaller chicks to have company. Below is a video of her. Do...

    The EMERGENCY Thread!!!

    Hi all, My chick has improved. He's now walking like a drunk. This is an improvement! I'm giving him poly-vi-sol twice daily. He's eating scrambled eggs. I'm providing him with chick crumbles, too, but he's not very interested in them. Should I continue as I have been doing? He's 3 days old...

    The EMERGENCY Thread!!!

    @minihorse927 Thanks for the advice. I have given a morning and evening does of poli-vi-sol. The chick can balance for a second or so. Also. It is holding its head up a bit more. I didn't really get a clear picture in my mind of how the shot glass tip works. I tried it with a slender, plastic...

    Will You Take Ducklings I Hatch in My Classroom? (North Alabama or Nashville, TN Areas)

    Hi, I am a second grade teacher who hatches chicken and duck eggs in my classroom every year. It is one of the higlights of my students' second grade year, and I love it (probably more than they do!). I have a home lined up for any chicks we hatch, but not for any ducklings that may hatch...

    Middle Tennessee or Muscle Shoals, Alabama Areas -- 3 Pekin Ducklings Need Home - 2 weeks old

    Hi, I had two possible homes lined up for these sweet faces, but one backed out and the other doesn't seem to have any knowledge of the care of ducklings. I don't feel good about giving these babies to them. If you're in the Nashville, Tennessee area, or Muscle Shoals, Alabama area (or...

    Need Advice on 2 Pekin Ducklings - Nares and Walking

    Update on Popcorn, Pumpkin and Slushy: They're doing great! Eating. Pooping. Sleeping. Swimming. All the things Pekins do! Here's my latest problem that isn't related to the ducklings. THE DUCKLINGS NEED A HOME. We had two potential homes for the ducklings, and honestly, after speaking...

    We have someone lined up to adopt them. Makes me sad, but there is no way we can keep them.

    Need Advice on 2 Pekin Ducklings - Nares and Walking

    Well, Slushy has had his "booties" on for a few hours. I've had to retape one section that he has picked at and made loose. I put them on a towel outside of their brooder in hopes that they would get a little exercise. I wanted to see him walk. Here is a video of him walking. I think he's doing...

    Need Advice on 2 Pekin Ducklings - Nares and Walking

    We just had a good swim, and Popcorn's nares seem clearer! The names of our ducklings are along a movie theme. The first was Popcorn, and then a child suggested Movie for the next one, and Soda for the third one. :-) In a vote, Popcorn, Pumpkin and Slushy were selected. Kids are great. Do...
