    Chick with yolk sac?

    Hi all! So I had a little chick hatch just this morning on its own and it seems to have a little unabsorbed yolk sac. I’ve put some Neosporin on it to keep it from getting infected. I figure it’ll either dry up and fall off or finish absorbing but wanted to make sure. Thanks!

    Something is wrong with my drake

    Hello everyone! So this morning when I went to get the ducks my runner drake was acting off. He is stumbling around and seems to not be in control of himself. I’ve got him to drink some hen boost water but I can’t get him to eat anything. He’s about 4 years now and has never had any illnesses...

    Anyone else think they might have a problem?

    Ok I just bought my THIRD incubator. I was all excited when it arrived but it’s literally the exact same incubator I already have two of. I cleaned out our shed and am turning it into a coop for serama chickens. I check Craigslist every weekend to see if there are any cool birds up for sale...

    Anyone ever been up Pikes Peak?!?

    Dogs or cats?

    Hi! Which do you prefer and why? I love dogs and I do not like cats! I think dogs are much more loyal than cats and a dog will love you no matter what!

My incubator has some (more like 40) eggs that are going to hatch soon and I was wondering if I could replace her eggs with the ones in my bator.

    Dose my ducklings have a blind eye?!

    Hello BYC! So I was cleaning my ducklings cage and just noticed this. It is only on one eye and doesn’t look like it’s touching the peupil. Is there a way to cure this? What could have caused this? She is a call black Swedish cross. Thanks!
