    Indian Runner Duck _ She is trying to push something

    @Miss Lydia Thanks for your help! Update: Only one duckling hatched out of four. I couldn’t isolate it since it keeps escaping through the nylon netting, but so far, everything’s good! The other runners are fine with the new member and aren’t aggressive at all. I built a little brick slope in...

    Black spots in Rooster's comb

    @FAVEROLLES LOVER Thanks for the insights! I’ve noticed a few scabs have already fallen off and the comb scab area skin is turning white. Luckily, there aren’t many chickens around to bother my rooster. One hen is broody, recently lost 2 girls and I’m raising two others separately in a cage...

    Black spots in Rooster's comb

    Hi @Wyorp Rock I’ve noticed black spots on my rooster’s comb for the past 2–3 weeks. I figured it’s not a fungal infection and thought it might be normal. Should I be worried? Thanks

    Rooster Comb is weird and suddenly not eating

    Oh yup, got it. I can understand. I am thinking to isolate him for a while and see how it goes. But really, I can't thank you enough for the help for a first-timer like me. Much appreciated..

    Rooster Comb is weird and suddenly not eating

    He usually gets along with the flock really well and mostly chases the hens away from food. For the last two days, he wasn't showing interest in eating, but today I noticed he was eating a bit in the cage. If it's not highly contagious and dangerous to other chickens, I would like to put him...

    Rooster Comb is weird and suddenly not eating

    Thank you @Eggcessive & @MysteryChicken To add, this rooster never developed a comb; it has been white and crusted like this since the beginning, while the others recently developed complete combs, @Wyorp Rock There are no lesions or patches inside the beak, and I couldn't find mites or...

    Rooster Comb is weird and suddenly not eating

    Rooster Comb is weird and suddenly not eating

    Hi @Wyorp Rock A few months ago, you helped me with valuable tips to save some chicks from dying. I cant thank you enough, now they have all grown up and are around six months old. I got to know that they are a local breed in Indonesia called Kampung KUB, a shorter neck version of Chicken...

    Indian Runner Duck _ She is trying to push something

    Hi @Wyorp Rock, I truly appreciate your assistance and thank you for your input. Last night only one chicken was left in the flock, and I've added 6 more chicks this morning. I've moved and restructured the brooder space and upgraded the headlamp as well. Also, I've started providing mashed...
