The other day I noticed that one of my silkie chicks eyelids were kinda pulling away from her eye on her left side, the right side is a little droopy but not as much. I became more concerned when it got a little watery and she began to close it more often, other than that she is acting normal...
This is a parakeet with some sort of feather condition, he is not a baby but you should keep him warm. Please be careful if you are feeding him with a syringe and don't stick far into his mouth or you could damage his crop. He could be hiding because he is overly stressed or just not hungry at...
I have seen a video of people successfully doing this. It will take 2 days or so to tell if they are fertile for sure. Keep us updated, im interested to see if it works:jumpy

She defiantly sounds broody to me. My ducks normally prefer sitting in some straw on the ground rather then a nest box, but you could try and see if your ducks like it more. Putting them in the garden sounds like a good idea. Hope they feel better soon
You could put them in a pool or the bathtub and cut up lettuce into it with some scissors. They just love swimming around and eating as they go, it reminds them of being in a pond and eating duckweed.
They sound stressed to me. I have lots of different types of birds and I know when there stressed they lay in more hidden places and sometimes don't lay at all. I think you should try to keep them away from the goats if possible and maybe give them some treats that they like. Do you think that...
