    Metal Shed for Ducks?

    I know there are a few other threads about metal sheds, but I think I've seen more so for chickens, so I wanted to post to check. Could one be okay for ducks (and maybe some chickens since they were raised by ducks)? I'm worried about the heat in the summer and the cold in the winter. I think...

    HELP! Chick Hatched, Red Substance Outside Body?

    Are you sure? More of what looked like intestines came out, it's all from the vent. I don't really have a teacup, just coffee mugs. Does it need to be wide and low sized? Edit: What about a bowl?

    HELP! Chick Hatched, Red Something Outside Body!!

    Really? A couple days?? I was trying to find how long they survive like this, I didn't expect it to be up to that long. I've never had to cull an animal before, that's been my fiancé's job. But he had to go out of town this weekend, so very bad timing.

    HELP! Chick Hatched, Red Something Outside Body!!

    Yeah, that's what I was afraid of. It looks like it's hanging out from its vent and doesn't look like a yolk sac but instenstines. 😔

    HELP! Chick Hatched, Red Substance Outside Body?

    I can't tell for sure, I think rear? I'm afraid to pick it up and harm it more.

    HELP! Chick Hatched, Red Something Outside Body!!

    I can see that it's hanging out from its vent. Is it a prolapse? Is it the yolk sac not being absorbed?

    HELP! Chick Hatched, Red Substance Outside Body?

    Sorry, I'm posting here and hatching threads because I'm worried this is critical. I haven't gotten too touchy on it because I'm scared to hurt it. What is it?? What can I do to help?? It's crying a lot!

    Does This Chick Need Help?

    Actually, follow-up question. It was able to come out of the shell but with a lot of liquid. Like maybe unabsorbed yolk sac? It leaked down into the water part of the incubator. The others didn't have this happen. Is there anything I need to do?

    Does This Chick Need Help?

    This chick pecked more on one end of the egg rather than in the mide, and I can see its mouth sticking out. Does it need help? It looks like it's really breathing hard. The other ones that hatched were more from the middle.

    Why wont my geese swim in their pond?

    We just recently put fish into our new big pond. And the geese have recently been less inclined to swim in it. I just realized they may be afraid of them and came online to see if there's anything I can do. Is there a way to get them less afraid?

    Golden Comet Lethargic with Vent Pulsating

    I had a virtual vet appointment yesterday, and she said it would be okay to try it for several days. But at least for future reference, or if the doxycycline doesn't work, do you know what the oral dosages for amoxicillin and enrofloxacin are? I'm just reading adding it to their drinking water...

    Golden Comet Lethargic with Vent Pulsating

    Thank you! That's definitely a lash egg then. I had never heard of it until now, so it's totally new for us. It looks like if I order from that website, it won't be here for a week. Do you think she could hold out until then? Or is it more urgent to get those meds now? I won't be able to get her...

    Golden Comet Lethargic with Vent Pulsating

    ...her that didn't feel like an egg in size, hardness, or shape. So I'm hoping this is what was making her feel sick and that she'll start feeling better now? *fingers crossed* It actually looks more yellow in the photos with the flash. But it was pretty tan in real life like in that first pic!

    I haven't had the chance to get to the store yet because of work. But I'll try and pick some calcium citrate up soon. I have calcium gluconate in the fridge, which a vet said to use before for a duck. But I noticed it expired in June, so I don't know if it goes bad or not. Re the lubricant...
