    Need advice immediately...broody hen, chicks with splayed legs

    My Chocolate Orpington pullet, Squeak, went broody three weeks ago. 7 eggs she sat on, 5 hatched three days ago, 2 were super stinky & dead in shell.

    PLEASE READ!! Does any duck experts read the emergencies and injuries section?

    Obviously if my mom would take her to a vet, I wouldn't be on here trying to find help.

    PLEASE READ!! Does any duck experts read the emergencies and injuries section?

    I posted a few days ago about my mom's duckling who has an injured leg. I haven't had luck getting responses, so I'm trying to post here in the hopes SOMEONE can tell me what to do. My mom got 6 ducklings about a month ago...2 are now 3 months old, the other 4 are about 2 months old. They are...

    Her leg is getting worse. The skin is starting to crack from the swelling, and there are now bruises on the web of her foot.

Last week my step-dad's St. Bernard got hold of one of the 3 month old ducklings. My mom did not see the injury occur, just the aftermath...her tiny BishonPoo, Heidi, had...

    The 5th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

    She was on the nest last night when I locked everyone up, and she was still on it this morning when I went out to feed and water. Do broodies pluck their chest feathers in the beginning, or only later in the "broody" stage? I thought I might check and see if she's missing chest feathers...

    The 5th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

    Ummm....how do I know if one of my girls has gone broody???? I don't know how to tell the difference between "Yep, I'm broody" or "Nope, you just happen to catch me sittin' on the nest the past few times you've come in here". The lady in question is a Chocolate Orpington Bantam, who just...

    Cockerel lethargic and throwing up

    No way!! He's not aggressive in any way towards humans, in fact he runs from us. But he is one heck of a protector. I'd like to see a hawk TRY to mess with the flock...it would end up being Kokopelli's dinner!
