    Ill 10-days-old Muscovy Duck

    Hello, One of my eight 10-days old ducklings is ill. Today I noticed that it stands still most of the time, more precisely sits on its tail, and does not eat or drink at all. It already seems a bit smaller than the others. Also sometimes its webbing is crumpled. Yesterday I saw one of them drink...

    Paralyzed Plymouth Rock

    Thanks .... She is able to poop, I will check her crop. I was feeding her boiled quinoa with water because she seemed not to drink, might this be the cause? If it is Botulism, do you think that something can be done in such condition, or too late? (I now there is an anti-toxin)?

    Botulism - as far as I know should be very acute. Algae poisoning - shouldn't this also develop very rapidly? They were vaccinated, but I'm not sure against what.

    Paralyzed Plymouth Rock

    Hello guys, Thanks for your help and תודה רבה. Her pupil seems nice and round, like the left picture. The iris is not grey. I have started giving her vitamins. It is now difficult for her to lift her neck for eating without falling, so I have to hold her while she is eating. Moreover, when she...

    Paralyzed Plymouth Rock

    A few more comments: Her poop is diarrhea now, but I am quite sure that in part of the last 3 weeks it was solid. I feed her with sprouted grains (wheat and etc.) and vegetables, and in the last few month didn't add egg shells as I usually do. All my hens are hardly laying nowadys, for about to...

    Paralyzed Plymouth Rock

    Hi, One of my ~1.5 year Plymouth Rock hens started to show paralysis signs three weeks ago. She could hardly walk then, but still managed to move a few meters, walking on her ankles. Gradually the paralysis became more sever. Now she can only drag herself a bit, her toes are completely curled...

    ill Muscovy duck

    Hello, My male Muscovy duck (4 kg) seemed perfectly ok till last evening. This evening I found him sitting inside the coop (might have been there since the morning), not moving at all. His legs were flappy. He was breathing quite rapidly, but this might be due to the heat (now the pace is...

    Ill broody hen

    Thank you sylviethecochin. I have never seen my chickens do that at night. In the first morning it was more that one hour after sunrise. Might it simply be because of her being broody and not ill? Do you have a suggestion of what to check in order to verify she is ok?

    Ill broody hen

    Hello, I have a broody hen (mixed) sitting for about 10 days. Four nights ago it rained and though she was protected directly from above, in the morning I saw that here feathers were wet because of rain the came from the side. Yesterday's morning and this morning I found her with her tucked...

    Plymouth Rock chick looking ill

    I asked already four vets regarding the dose. I went with the one who was most permissive. I already gave 4 doses (twice daily) and I still can't notice any improvement, apart for the fact that he is still eating well. One vet told me that if it were Coccidiosis he should have been dead already...

    Plymouth Rock chick looking ill

    I consulted yesterday with an experienced Israeli breeder. He said that the amount of drug in the starter will not help. Since I couldn't get any veterinary sulfa, he advised me to use kids medicine that contains 200 mg Sulfamethoxazole and 40 mg Trimethoprim in 5ml liquid. Luckily my mother is...

    Plymouth Rock chick looking ill

    Well, not so cold, it was simply cloudy and a bit windy. May in Israel is very hot already. I take the mother off the sleeping bench to make sure she is down with him at night (though she might be doing that by her on). On the bag it only says Coccidiostat, nothing beyond that. Regarding the...

    Plymouth Rock chick looking ill

    Well, this morning he was miserable, but I think it was due to the cold. Afternoon he seemed better, being the first to run for food when I approach. They hate the starter, so I add to it tomatoes "water" (with almost no seeds), and then they eat it fine. Unless tomorrow morning he shows...
