    lol, well, I didn't want you to think you were alone in the "bantams don't like me" boat. :hugs apparently some of us just aren't meant to be loved by cute fuzzy little chickens.

    What to do with new muscovy babies

    Baby Muscovy aren't water proof. Swimming is fine as long as it's in shallow water with an easy way for a baby to get out. They CAN waterlog and sink.

    I’ve had it!!

    I adore bantam chickens. They do not adore me. Yet, my daughter (starting at age ten or so) managed to have bantams that loved her and loved to be petted and held. Hers were some weird ones that were black with little yellow faces when they were chicks. They grew up to be fat round solid...

    What to do with new muscovy babies

    If momma is nice, you can handle the babies right away. If she isn't, you're likely to get a bite welt for your effort. When to handle the babies depends entirely on the moms disposition. As for what to provide them? Make sure that all water dishes are shallow. A baby muscovy can get into a...

    5 hens only laying 3 eggs a day....

    It's probably perfectly normal. Chickens don't lay an egg a day for long. https://blog.cacklehatchery.com/does-a-hen-lay-an-egg-every-day/

    HELP First Egg BLOODY attached to butt?!?

    If she's still pooping, it isn't egg bound yet. I believe the membrane that you're talking about is the vaginal tract prior to where it meets up with the poop shoot part of the duct works.

    your neighbors birds taste best

    I sorta think this post was meant in jest and in a lighthearted spirit. :bun That being said? Have you ever had that one neighbors rooster that crows at one in the morning for NO reason? And you just sort of think "Soup. One day that bird is going to be SOUP." So, you know, if one of the...

    Momma left her baby :(

    That baby is adorable. Is it a frizzle? My own suggestion would be to put mom with the baby and see if she goes back to momming. Give her an hour or so a day to dust bath and socialize and put her back with the baby. Maybe even give her special treats while with baby so she isn't as eager to...

    Chicken eating very well but not able to walk from 3 weeks

    Sitting stiff and not walking are more likely to be damage to the spine, damage to the hip bones, or damage to the leg itself. You did great trying to save her. But, it really just doesn't sound like this is something that she's going to recover from.

    Chicken eating very well but not able to walk from 3 weeks

    I have to agree that after six weeks it doesn't look good.

    Chicken eating very well but not able to walk from 3 weeks

    If you feel around her back and legs is there anywhere that is tender or that feels "wrong"? Maybe like a dislocated leg?

    Chicken eating very well but not able to walk from 3 weeks

    Ah. So, if I'm reading this right, she was Not originally your chicken and you found her in the road with her chicks. After which the chicks died and she never recovered. If that is correct than it is likely that she was hit by a car. The babies may have died because mom couldn't care for...

    HELP!!! FOUND TWO BIRDS THAT FELL OUT OF MY TREE, what are they???

    So, I'm the ONLY person who saw "What are they" and couldn't think of any answer than "Really ugly"???? :oops: Just kidding. But since you already got good answers I don't feel bad for saying it.:D

    Chicken eating very well but not able to walk from 3 weeks

    Since she had chicks, I'm assuming that she was fine prior to being in the road. So, when you found her in the road, could she have been hit by a car? Your first response might be that a car would have killed her, but that isn't true. I had a duck fly into the road and get hit. Through...

    To wash. Or not to wash. That, is the question.

    Failure to Thrive.. but wings and legs grow?

    I could be wrong. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not an expert. What you linked doesn't have an ingredient list, but if it says complete it should be. And, I'm not saying it is the cure. Just that, it LOOKS like...
