    Unexpected loss 1 year old Golden 300 Hybrid Duck Female

    Thank you, KaleIAm and Miss Lydia, for your help and compassion. I am sorry that you went through something similar with your Indian Runner, Miss Lydia. I am not sure when she laid her last egg. I have six girls and usually get 3-6 eggs a day. Sometimes they find a new spot to lay in and...

    Unexpected loss 1 year old Golden 300 Hybrid Duck Female

    Hi All, I got six different breeds of baby ducklings from Metzer Farms a year ago. They have a wonderful life here in Southern California with free ranging, a duck pond, corn in the morning, watermelon in the afternoon, mealworms at night along with duck food, of course. They are protected...

    Looking for Ducklings for sale in Ventura County

    Hi All, I am having trouble finding some ducklings. We would like five females, and we live in Camarillo, CA, outside of the quarantine area. The problem with purchasing from McMurry hatchery or California Hatchery or Metzer Farms is that they ship through LAX, which is in the quarantine...

    mites, mites, mites

    I came to find this thread today because we have a rooster with red mites. I don't think he takes dust baths like the other girls, and so we are going to get some wood ash and give him an ash bath soon. We also examined his vent, and he did have many of the red mites running around the area...

    Three-year-old Phoenix chicken with swollen abdomen

    I found some information by doing a search, and we did drain 12oz of green fluid out of her, but sadly, my girl died a short time later. My husband did a necropsy, and she had a yolk inside her and a large blood clot and lots more fluid. We think it was Egg Yolk Peritonitis...

    Three-year-old Phoenix chicken with swollen abdomen

    Hello there, I am trying to figure out what is happening to certain members of my flock. This is the second Phoenix girl to have a bloated swollen abdomen, and she is unable to stand for very long and loses her balance and has to lie down. Her eyes seem to be bugged out a little bit too...

    Silver Laced Polish with Wry Neck Possibly

    Hello Friends, I have a flock of 23 chickens and a rooster who are my beloved pets. Right now, my Silver Laced Polish isn't doing so well. It started when I noticed that she was getting picked on and had blood on her head feathers. I immediately separated her and brought her inside and...

    Large lump on left side, not the crop

    Hi Miss Lydia, thanks for your reply. I actually think now that it's a false alarm. I felt her up real good just now, and it seems to be soft fatty tissue maybe or maybe just a mass of protruding feathers. I didn't feel any cut or wound. She's eating normally, and although she seemed to have...

    Large lump on left side, not the crop

    Hello all, This forum has been so valuable to me for information, and so I want to thank you for your help in advance. One of my chickens, a white-crested black Polish, has a large lump on her left breast which is getting bigger. It has been growing larger over the past three days, and...

    New Baby Silkie with Vitamin E Deficiency

    Hi Cinderellasnickers08, Thanks for your reply. My little chicken is all grown up now and laying eggs here at 23 weeks. It turns out that she is a Black Cochin and not a silkie as I orginally reported. Looking back now, I believe it was an injury to her fragile brain as well. The good news...

    Blue Cheese crumbles

    Okay, great, thanks. I thought I would ask because of the mold or whatever it is that makes the cheese "blue cheese." I don't want to poison my girls. There is some potato salad that I would love to give them, but I read about the skins of potatoes being toxic or something. These are red...
