I don't see any lesions or sores on on her comb or wattles at the time being. I wish I could get better pics. She just won't cooperate. I even tried to get her to say cheese. I will keep her under observation and treating her. And see if it clears up. If not. Might have to go to the vet. Will...
See if this actually works. One of my young wyandottes seems to be having eye problems. Been treating her with VetRx for 4 days. No change. Took pics of her good eye and bad eye for comparison. She eats well and is very active. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Might be a bit to ask. But here it goes. Looking for a quiet, flightless duck. I am looking for something to weed my blackberries. Tried it with my EEs. But they hop the fence and go visit my none too impressed neighbors. I know I can get all drakes. But I was hoping to get some eggs out of the...
