I started Corid just I case, I also applied some Preparation H to their swollen vents. I have been up with them all night, trying to keep them stable. At this time they are sitting upright, they started picking at the feed mash and egg scrambles, and are walking over to the waterer on their own...
I made a pop in visit a few days in a row to my local Tractor Supply. I went in originally to purchase new chicks, but when I saw the conditions I started making pop ins to check on all the babies. Tonight I ended up being given a few very weak guinea keets, because the employees didn't know...
I'm sorry I'm only now responding. They were 9 week old Rouen ducklings, from Tractor Supply. They have been on Purina Flock Raiser starter. I have been giving B complex vitamins supplements and nutritional yeast sprinkled on their feed.
Today my daughter and I made a discovery that may explain...
Advice needed! I'm absolutely heartbroken! In the last 3 days I've lost 2 of my 8 week old ducklings, they had symptoms like wry neck, it came on very suddenly...within a 4 hour span they went from healthy happy ducks to a seemingly loss of control of their necks! I quickly gave them the...
Scully has healed beautifully, much better than expected! Scully and friends all came from a hatchery, K didn't know about the recessive comb thing! Very interesting! I guess I wait for the crow! I will be sure to post a follow up as s/he gets older! Thank you!!

A month later Scully is 15 weeks old and has made nearly a full recovery!! I'm surprised that there are even new feathers growing in on the scalp where it was torn off!!! Its a miracle! Scully is a bit fiesty but very people friendly, although...
It's been 11 days now, and Scully is healing beautifully! Although I noticed comb growth, I'm confused as I was told that GLW had a rose comb, but her comb is not like my others with rose comb...and I'm growing concerned that Scully may be a roo!!
Oh dear...hoping I'm wrong! "She is just super...
Thank you all sooo much for your replies! She's a sweetheart, and I just want to do everything possible to give her the best chance at recovery! I don't mind her in the house, I have a house duck so they are chatting. I don't want them too close right now as I don't want to risk any further...
My 4 month old Turkey got into the chick feeding area, I came out to the coop to see my female turkey there with blood on her beak and chest and blood speckles in the snow, I followed the blood to find my 11 week old Gold Laced Wyandotte with her scalp hanging off! I rushed her inside and...
My sweet little Black Swedish duckling Forrest has had a rough run of things in her life so far! We noticed she walked a little funny when we brought her home, but as ducklings sort of bobble around we figured she was just getting her legs about her. As time has progressed she has gotten worse...
Also, the Asia Black cockerel I did keep tried to have a disagreement with me so I kept picking him up and carrying him around/scratching his neck feathers...he's fine now. A great protector for my girls!
I kept the "nicest" one out of the 4 Asian Black cockerels that I ended up with. Unfortunately I ended up with 2 RIR pulleys being cockerels, and an Americana puller being a cockerel, all in all I ended up with 5 cockerels! No more TSC chicks for me! (Hubby says I say that now, but come next...
I picked up 6 "Black Sex Link" Pullets at TSC back in March...ended up with 4 cockerels and 2 pullets... parted with 3 of the cockerels. My pullets started laying last week! Here's my boy...looks like he's an Asia Black not a BSL!
So I have 4 Turkey poults, 2 are heritage blue slate/narragansett cross approx 18 weeks old and 2 are Broad Breasted White approx 12 weeks old. I only have one who is displaying, and it's a BBW, can anyone help me ID gender on my 2 heritage? and here's a pic with my BBW Jake for...
Oooh! That would be great! Here's hoping! But I'll be happy either way, as we are raising them as pets/and for eggs!! We have 7 adolescent Khaki Campbell's already! Love them!!
