    Time sensitive! Duck with swollen foot!

    I have a duck in a similar situation and took her in to the vet. It was a small puncture wound that spread to the bone, she's been on antibiotics and painkillers/anti-inflammatories for weeks. Def recommend a vet visit!

    Injured duck- broken leg?

    My 1 year old Pekin is not walking, her leg is very swollen. Does this look like a break? Any thoughts on best plan to care for her? Thank you!

    silkie chick with leg injury, splayed leg/slipped tendon?

    I just realized I didn't give an update, unfortunately she didn't make it. So sad but I was grateful she wasn't hurting anymore.

    Candled duck eggs day 23 - showing ahead of schedule, advice?

    Hello! I have a broody hen sitting on some pekin eggs I purchased locally. I've only candled a couple of times since she's been sitting. I just checked them this evening and the air sacs look more like they're day 26-27. I'm concerned I've messed something up by moving them or that they aren't...

    Anybody have turkeys?

    Hi Bo! We're thinking about getting a couple of turkeys to add to our flock. What variety have you found to be the friendliest? We're really looking for them to be pets. Thank you!

    Versions of "chick chairs" PLEASE!

    This thread is from a while ago but I thought I'd post mine in case it's helpful! I tried a 'chick chair' with a sock but it was just too big for this little chick, a sling made with really thin jersey seems to be working much better! She hates it but isn't struggling to get out of it as much...

    silkie chick with leg injury, splayed leg/slipped tendon?

    Update: questioning some life decisions but I just made this sling which seems to be working better for her than the 'chick chair'.

    silkie chick with leg injury, splayed leg/slipped tendon?

    Thank you, I think you're right. This is what I initially thought was wrong so I wrapped it and made her a 'chair', she just won't rest in it and is almost constantly struggling to get out.
