So I just had about ten muscovy ducklings hatch on our farm and I put them and mom in a 10x8 stall in the barn. They get water and starter/grower feed and they are now about two weeks old. I went to the barn a couple nights ago and noticed one dead baby duck with no wounds and another that was...
That is really good to know! Thank you!! I keep trying to figure her out and i'm going a little crazy. Figures crossed she has a little one in her! I feel like if it was a false pregnancy wouldn't the bags have gone down by now?
Thank you for your feed back! I tried to get a picture of her with her udders but she is not the most trusting of people so of course it was always eyes on me. I am going to try and catch her tonight and see if I can feel around for the babies. Its been horrible hot and humid here in PA and I...
Okay so I have bred goats and have had kids born on our farm but I have a goat that is making my head spin!:he I was wondering if this means she is pregnant or giving me a false pregnancy. I got this goat which is a pygmy/Nigerian about a year and a half ago from a friend who got it from another...
We are in the process of starting our own farm. We have a rustic farmhouse and its all mountains around us. We will be selling goat soaks, lotions, etc. butchered meats and just showing off the overall farm and animals. We need help with a farm name though. Every name we picked out 15 other...
I was starting to do research last night and that was what I kept coming across was the Coccidiosis. I am going to go to the farm store on my lunch break to get Corid, what kind of antibiotics do you recommended? I want to nip this in the butt immediately.
Their attitudes just seemed off like they were lethargic and just didn’t seem like they had a lot of energy. They all ate and drank totally fine. Actually the one just died today and he ate and drank about three hours ago and then like an hour ago I went to check on him and I found him laying...
Hello so I am starting to freak out. In the past three days I have lost three of my bantam chickens and my one Muscovy Duck. I recently just got two of the Bantams a week ago today and they were doing so good, eating and drinking good and then they started to seem almost depressed and then by...
Okay so this is really hard to describe but here it goes. I have a small bantam chicken that has been doing get for me ever since I got her about 7 months ago but this past week she has been showing some weird signs. On Monday she started nesting in the coop which she never does, Tuesday morning...
Thank you so much for all the information!! After reading everything nothing is really popping out to me for her symptoms to match up with. I am going to take a closer look at her tonight after reviewing everything you wrote to see if something matches up that I overlooked. You just hate to see...
I currently have a sick chicken that is showing the same signs as being egg bound but i don't believe she is. She is sitting in the coop like a penguin, won't eat, will drink water, has dark green runny poop and just seems depressed. I had two other chickens like this that over the past 3 months...
She can not bend her toes on her affect leg, they seem to just go dead. She just lays there with her legs under her. I did not see any scabs or anything under her foot. When i examined her I touched her leg in one spot and she got mad but I did not see anything wrong in that area? She is about...
I have a chicken that has not been able to walk for about a week now. She was doing great and then slowly started to decrease in her ability to walk. I thought maybe she was egg bound but I did not feel an egg. I looked at her eyes and they are normal. It looks like she can't use one leg, it is...
I can keep them locked out of the coop at night and then let them out free range on their own but I also like to let the chickens out to free range as well. I don't know if this is just a spring macho man thing or if this how he is always going to be.
