Undeveloped eye lid
I have two Cayuga ducks that are about close to two months old, one is a male and the other a female. The female's eye lid is smaller than the other and it's been like that since she hatched. I thought maybe it would develop a little better but it seems as though it's not. I didn't expect it to... -
Hen laying on eggs after months of laying
I have a small flock of chickens ( 1 rooster and 4 hens ), the hens are about 1 to 1 1/2 years old. They all started laying about April recently one of the older hens started laying on the eggs. Now I've always removed the eggs before the hens would sit on them. This started this past week, not...- BlackAce

Hen stopped laying????
First a little background. I have four hens two of which I raised from an incubator. Two I purchased from someone local. I was told at the time the two were roughly six months old back October of 2013. The other two eggs that I raised were born in October of 2013. Now I have two hens that...- BlackAce

Cayuga Still Sick
I had made a post about my Cayuga being sick a few weeks ago. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/853213/duck-convulsions-not-sure-whats-going-on-sick-duck I noticed about a week and a half ago that her chest seems to be protruding. I've seen some ducks with the chest similar but this seems... -
Duck convulsions not sure whats going on?? SICK DUCK????
Ok great! That's about as much charcoal as I have been giving her probably a little less but close anyway. I've been giving her both the vitamins and charcoal together I'll try separating them and doing times like you said. I haven't been looking at her feces and as far as temperature on the... -
Duck convulsions not sure whats going on?? SICK DUCK????
Ok how much charcoal should I give her? Today if the third day I've been giving it to her. Also, there very little improvement from my last update. I'd say maybe a 6 now. I had her walking around the kitchen and her balance is definitely off. She would stretch and flap her wings and go off... -
Duck convulsions not sure whats going on?? SICK DUCK????
Well I've been giving her vitamins and I picked up some activated charcoal and also gave that too her just in case. She definitely seems better. She walking better but she's still off balance. She also quacking too. It's not her usual raspy quack that she has but I'm happy she's quacking none... -

Duck convulsions not sure whats going on?? SICK DUCK????
Ok unfortunately its to late to do anything today. She did seem better wrapped in a towel but I can keep like that all night. I just put her back and shes flopping around trying to stand but seems like she can't hold her head up and just keeps flipping over. I hope she will make it through the... -
Duck convulsions not sure whats going on?? SICK DUCK????
I've been giving them a starter duck feed. The other one seems fine and didn't have any issues. She had done this once before but didn't have any convulsions just a little off balance. Like I said it was once and was only about a day, if that. I don't think she got into anything toxic, they... -
Duck convulsions not sure whats going on?? SICK DUCK????
I have two Cayugas Ducks that hatched in November. Tonight I had noticed that one seemed to be a little off like it wasn't feeling well and balance was a tad off. So I gave them some Sav A Chick and I kept an eye on her. I checked up on her about an hour later and she was laying on her back... -
Dead Pullet? Any Suggestions????
I do have a window on the door of the coop, its a plexi glass folder window. I close the hatch at night and don't think there's a draft issue. The wind chill last night was -2 degrees last night. I don't think its a cold issue either. Well the wifey made me bring them in so we will see.- BlackAce

Dead Pullet? Any Suggestions????
No animals got in there that I'm aware of. I checked her out and that was the first thing I looked for. I didn't see any marks, bites, peeking or anything trauma to her. At night I have to put them away in the coop. They come out fine but they cant walk back up the run so every night I have to...- BlackAce

Dead Pullet? Any Suggestions????
I had six pullets three of them are about 4 months old and the other two are a little over 6 months and 1 roo. I just went outside and checked on everyone in the coop and one of the younger pullets were dead. It was a recent death, she was still warm and rigamortis hadn't set yet. Also, with the...- BlackAce
