    Angel wing?

    The ducks are doing much better, thanks to all advice! One's wing is still a little droopy, is it too late to bind it up, first picture. Does it look like I have all boys also? Lol I know a popular question, but I would prefer all boys than two and one girl!

    Angel wing?

    Should I cut the protein back more? The 18%/16% I feed is what my chickens get, they all live in same coop

    Angel wing?

    In your opinion does this look like the start of it?

    Angel wing?

    I'm panicking that this is the start of Angel wing, one duck has longer feathers but they are tucked in the other two are poking out. They eat pellets, all flock that's 18% mixed evenly with a 16% type. I was feeding them a crumble til about a month ago, it was higher protein. I've seen ducks...

    Silkie chick trouble standing

    So the chick now is not eating or drinking on its own. It had trouble from the beginning since its balance was so off and it never really picked it up even with another chick with it. It still stumbles and can't have water bowl. I even ground the food to a powder. I'm dropper feeding it, but I...

    Silkie chick trouble standing

    Last night we also made a little sling to hold it upright where it could kick and push a little with feet, I think it helped too!

    Silkie chick trouble standing

    So today it is much better! Still has one outside toe on right foot that is curled, but trying to put cardboard on it was stressful for it and I couldn't get it right on its tiny silkie feet, so I stopped. I've continued like you said with the vitamins and sugar water, added b vitamin as well...

    Weak chicken - rehabbing

    Thanks I'll get some of those today then, she's only about 6-7 months old. Is mareks always a death sentence? What do I do for my other birds?

    Weak chicken - rehabbing

    She has been down for a little less than a week, she kicks her legs but can't hold herself up. She can see if she saw another bird eating next to her she would peck and try to eat, but for a few days I had to force some meat in her mouth, I don't know if I feel comfortable tube feeding, but if...

    Weak chicken - rehabbing

    I have a silkie hen who I believe had wry neck, she's starting to try to eat on her own, with help of it being very close to her face, my question is she's laying down a lot on her side, should I put her in something to where she can start to assume a normal stance or close to it, starting with...

    Using Rooster Booster for Chick with Wry Neck

    Thank you for the website suggestions, I think they hatched around March 2nd, give or take a day. One has a vaulted skull the other doesn't... These are the two with wry neck. I'm guessing it's vitamin related and not injury since it happened when they were about ten days old.

    Using Rooster Booster for Chick with Wry Neck

    Thanks! I'm going to get the vitamins in addition, mine seem to do better then the one who initially developed it will regress for some reason. Noticed every other day it is worse, laying on ground head tucked under, then by the end of day its doing better. I've not had this happen before even...
