    My hen is not eating and passing watery poo.

    Thanks for your reply. Her crop was full in the morning itself. I failed to check it. I searched google and found that watery poo may be caused by not eating enough food. I think that she has impact/sour crop. She is drinking too much water. I will check her crop now and try to to empty it. I...

    My hen is not eating and passing watery poo.

    Now I found that she is vomiting clear liquid sometimes, when she bend down to drink. Or is it gastric reflux? She is shaking on her foot. Her condition worsening now. Any help, please?

    My hen is not eating and passing watery poo.

    My three and half year old hen is not eating and passing water poo. She is week and her leg scales are coming off. Though she passes loose water poo, she makes an uncomfortable sound, as if she is in pain. As a quick measure, I have added garlic, onions and little paracetamol in her water. She...

    My duck is missing since sunday night, any chance of survival?

    There is no chance for owls, as we don't have large owls here. It might be some dog or some people. She can't fly. Most of the dogs in my neighborhood are familiar to chickens free range on the streets and won't hunt them. Occasionally few hounds will visit from other villages and those might be...

    My duck is missing since sunday night, any chance of survival?

    Sorry, she is missing since friday. The chickens and duck are not locked up in that night. The compound gate was closed and never she left the compound in the one and half years. She is an unknown breed, mostly mixed for native breeds.

    My duck is missing since sunday night, any chance of survival?

    I saw the duck on sunday night 8pm and the next morning I found it missing. No traces of feathers or blood. She statyed with our 3 month chickens inside our compound. The chickens were staying in the same place and not scared. There are no predators except eagles, crows and cats. The cats only...

    My duck started laying...

    My duck laid her second egg yesterday with a 15 days gap between the first and the second. The right side one is the duck egg and left one is chicken egg. The shell is stretched out on one edge of the egg. The inner membrane is not damaged and it prevents the yolk moving to the stretched...

    My WH leg clicks

    I think that you people are talking about the "tap", "tap" sound, while duck is walking. I heard that sound sometimes. I first worried about it, but she is fine.

    My duck is "flattening" her back--what does it mean??

    My 7 month old duck is also doing the same for the past couple of weeks. She will make her wings and her back flatten, stretch her neck and make a distinct sound and sometimes come near my feet and slowly sit by sightly raising her rear end. I thought the same and it is confirmed. When will she...

    Is this Niacin okay?

    I have the problem of finding brewer's yeast here. I believe that I lost all ducklings due to the niacin deficiency (though they are free range). I searched for the supplement and find that the unmilled rice and rice bran is rich in niacin (close to brewer's yeast). My duck refuses to eat...

    Urgent help needed : Duckling coughing / sneezing and can't peep

    I wasw not able to update yesterday. He is fully active and happily hunting bugs and playing in water. Still his barking voice and mild cough is there. I have added turmeric powder to his water. I can't find ACV here. I tried him giving bread pieces soaked in honey and they refused to eat it. I...

    Urgent help needed : Duckling coughing / sneezing and can't peep

    I am from India. I have heard ACV is available here, though I am not sure about my town. I will try to get it or use other vitamin supplements. I just let him outdoor with the other duck and he is doing fine. I saw him happily foraging and hunting some bugs. He also ate some rice and drank...

    Urgent help needed : Duckling coughing / sneezing and can't peep

    I don't want to separate them. I just wanted to keep regular check on him during the night. It is also raining now outside and warm indoor. He will make louder peeps, if he misses the other duck for even a minute. He made some sounds in the evening and no sounds at all now. It seems it hurts...
