    Duck with a broken wing

    I understand. But if they are going to wring her neck, I can’t let that happen. If she dies, it will be in a warm,dry bed, well fed & hydrated

    Duck with a broken wing

    Still alive & chipper. I started her on antibiotics. I’m going to try a splint that might help put the bone in the right place

    Duck with a broken wing

    She is cuddling with me & eating out of my hand- very friendly, unafraid of people, another reason that DOW wasn’t interested.

    Duck with a broken wing

    Yes, but they are not interested in an injured duck.

    Duck with a broken wing

    Thank you so much. I have rescued & rehabed & released many little birds ( I know it’s illegal for wildlife, but who is going to treat an injured or orphaned sparrow? if I could save a life I do it.) However this one may end up needing to be euthanized. She is a sweet little girl, cuddles & eats...

    Duck with a broken wing

    the DOA said “do whatever you want.” He thought it was probably a domestic duck.

    Duck with a broken wing

    Yes, they won’t accept her. Then said that if they did they would wring her neck because a duck is a duck, not an endangered species. She is very alert, walking around, and let me pick her up. She is probably somebody’s pet.

    Duck with a broken wing

    I have had chickens for several years, but today found a duck in my back yard. I have no idea how she got in there because we have a chain link fence and she has a wing with a compound fracture. Of course it’s the weekend, so there wasn’t much I could do. I think she may be a domestic bird...

    Egg boing hen

    Thank you. I read that if you don't feel an egg with a digital exam that it probably isn't egg binding. But other than that, she really did have the symptoms. Maybe it had broken inside her.

    Egg boing hen

    My poor little Pee Wee just died. She was a sweet heart. I think I was just too late in treating her.

    Egg boing hen

    I think I replied in the wrong place. Her butt isn't pulsating but she does reflex by tightening her vent when I touch it. Thick white discharge from vent. I don't know how to post pic, but she looks really sick.

    Egg boing hen

    Her butt isn't pulsing, but she does have the reflex of tightening her vent when I touch it. And as I said, a lot of thick white discharge. I don't know how to post a picture. I have import images checked, but don't know what to do next. She just looks like a lethargic he, droopy wings, eyes closed.

    Egg boing hen

    I'm writing about a 2 year old Americana hen. She had been fine, active & eating well. Yesterday acted ok, but broody. Today she is listless, eyes closed. She did walk out of hen house to eat, but then just sat on the ground & slept. Her vent looks swollen & there is a lot of creamy white...

    Bumblefoot

    After a wet spring, we have had an abundance of goat-head stickers on our property. Three of my girls developed bumble foot, probably from the stickers. This is my first time dealing with this. I'm a retired nurse, so after watching video instructions on removing the kernels, I was able to do...
