Duck chicks typically have problems with legs sometimes by vitamin deficiencies. I assume that this is not the case, but if the diet can be improved and more diverse, it will not do harm.
If you formatted all the disk again, is gone.
If you deleted only the Windows system, most of your hard disk is just inaccessible, but files will be there still for a while until overwritten by new files. The more you will use the computer from now on, the more old files will disappear, but...
@cj2024 your paswords and most of your files may be probably still in the hard disk, but hidden.
If is not encrypted, just use a linux live-CD (or even better, live-DVD, or a bootable pendrive...), burn the disk on other computer and put it in the cdrom slot. Turn the computer on, and will open...
Then typical case of fungus on the crop. Treatments in this cases typically will run for 14-17 days, and some can even last for 30. Take this in mind and check what is said in your package, but a week at least for Monistat would be the bare minimum.
Two days is still too early to see any...
Sad old rooster needed an embrace. It was a hard week for him.
Then we chased the young big bad roosters with him in my arms like an ukranian drone. By the clucks I think that he enjoyed it. Life is plenty of simple pleasures, like pulling a bully rooster's tail.
Hens disappear and try to nest in the most strange places. Then they will appear again on three weeks like is nothing. She could be behind your fridge or under your bed at your feet at this moment, perfectly silent. Females do this things all the time.
Chickens are adapted to fast for several weeks and hens will recover easily from three or four weeks of fasting without permanent consequences. Your hen will not die for lack of food immediately, specially if kept on a warm, quiet place so, by now, don't worry about this.
Second, what is...
Same post resumed:
"I am a first-time chicken owner. One of my 9 months old Bielefelders may have a mass of hay in the crop, and has developed sour crop secondary to that. She was more lethargic and tossing her head strangely 5 days ago. Her crop is enlarged about the size of a tennis ball and...
Roosters kick toward the eyes sometimes. I wouldn't discard a fight
They often heal by themselves, but washing the area carefully and maybe some aloe vera can help
Blue eyes is a special case. Neither chicken or us have real blue eyes. We are unable to make a blue pigment so there is not a gen for that. Blue is the absence of brown pigment.
I assume that you have heard about the crop, a bag in the neck of the chicken to store food. If not, take a look and compare it with your bird. When full it looks like a small ball in the breast.
Sour crop and impacted crop are two possible problems in the breast/neck area
I'm just speculating, but can't fall to notice something in your symptoms list: All are related.
If he eats the same as the other, but is much overweight maybe there is a problem with her thyroid gland. I'm not expert on avian endocrine system, but a lazy thyroid gland in humans is related...
Every serious chicken owner should consider ornamental grasses. There are two basic families: Poaceae, the cereals, and Cyperaceae, the papyrus.
The most common Cyperaceae used as ornamental lawn substitute are many species of Carex, that have typically tougher leaves than the cereals, much...
> Like water balloons filled with paint or something? Not sure what that'll do besides piss of the owner which you seem to be against.
Pissing the owner is exactly the idea. Killing his/her dog is on a different level, and definitely less humane
If the dog is illegal in the state, animal...
> Study traps.... then what? Trap it? And then what?
Animal control will probably be much more prone to come and take a dog if is trapped in a room or a cage. Your mileage may vary depending on the area or country. If they take the dog, the dog owner will need to pay for the dog maintenance at...
