Thank you for your very thoughtful reply. When I turned her over, I had her cradled in my arm like an infant, and she was very comfortable with that. My birds trust me tremendously and I’m close with all of them. I didn’t palpate her for abdominal fluid. She didn’t look too bloated, but I can...
I have a hen who is limping. I turned her over and she has a cauliflower looking area in her vent. It’s red. She is also breathing labored. Any clues? Those are the best pics I could take as I’m alone this am to take the picture. She sits a lot also hides a bit in the run. It looks like a tiny...

My former boss knows I have a goose, two ducks that I rescued from an abusive situation(they are doing great except some leg weakness which has improved greatly) and 12 chickens. He said his youngest son...
I did see your thoughtful reply. Thanks, I told them absolutely no more baths. They promised they wouldn’t. Beside this slip up they have done a nice job.
Yes they put bubble in the bath unfortunately. The duck didn’t look happy either.
They are 5 weeks old
I never published on you tube but it should show at 7pm today

They have given the ducklings four bubble baths till they were soaked and then put them under the heat lamp to dry. I was unaware that was happening. When they sent a video I was surprised...
