I think my Feed store accidentally gave me a Cornish cross but I’m attached to it now and can’t give it up. I’ve heard of them living for years if given the right diet. What do I need to feed my bird to help it survive? I do not want to kill her.

I hope you chick gets better :fl It’s SUPER cute, what kind of chicken is it? I would also add some save a chick electrolytes and probiotics to their water to help give the other chicks a boost too.

I live in Texas by Fort Worth and was wondering about how much it would cost to ship 20-25 ducklings to me. I’m ordering some welsh Harlequins. :jumpy Has anyone here ever ordered from metzer farms? If so what was your experience, did the ducklings arrive healthy? How expensive was shipping( if...

Sorry for the late response, I used peppermint essential oil. Are you still having a mite problem or have you been able to treat it?

This was her second successful hatch.

I had a Rouen named Quackers and she was the best mother duck I have ever owned. She went broody for the first time at 8 months old. When she went broody she usually tried to hide her eggs from me. She didn’t go broody after taking a break from laying eggs but after about 3 weeks of laying she...

Hi, I had an issue with scaly leg mites as well. They come from wild birds and animals that visit your yard. The way I found to best kill them/repel them was to: 1.Treat all of my hens 2. I then cleaned the coop of all of its bedding and wiped down all surfaces with vinegar (I even sprayed the...

I decided to not give up on Jenny and did some things to help her improve and she is now on a slow path to recovery. I don’t think she will ever be the same mentally but at least she is improving. To help Jenny I started syringe feeding her baby food and vitiamn water with electrolytes. I also...

I tried feeding her mealworms, oats, corn and some other things and she won’t eat. She is just laying down and her head is shaking a lot. She does not seem to be there mentally. Thank you all for your help but I don’t think she is going to make it. I’m not going to give up on her yet but she has...

Thank you, I’m pretty sure I have some antibiotics for my animals that I’ll start her on tomorrow morning, Incase as you have said there is any bacteria in her system. I cleaned and disinfected her wound as soon as the bobcat gave it to her, but it was only a small scratch that broke the skin...

Thank you, she has acces to corn which is her favorite food but she won’t eat it, tomorrow I will try some mashed eggs as you’ve suggested.

Jenny has been like this for two days now and is only getting worse. Ducks are my favorite animal and I decided to get some and I love them very much. I even bought them Christmas presents, which may sound silly but I love my ducks a lot. I ran outside to confront the bobcat but thankfully it...

My 3 year old welsh harlequin Jenny was attacked through her inclosure twice by a bobcat. 2 of my ducks got killed on New Year’s Day and Jenny got her leg scratched. She was drooling and not eating but began to perk up and start eating, but after the second attack when her same leg got scratched...

I would recommend washing him off with some water and keeping an eye on him. Look and see where he may of gotten into the gas when you have a chance.
