    Adult Female Medical Emergency

    Hi. One of my laying hens has an organ of some kind protruding from her vent. It is red with blood vessels around it. She is not feeling so good. We found a leathery shell-less egg out in the yard where she ranges during the day. Any clues or tips for helping her? Thank you.

    Female duck pool etiquette?

    Have any of you had experience with female ducks trying to mount other ducks? 'Jemima' and 'Lobelia' energetically harass the other ducks almost constantly when they have access to water. They are about 5 months old. Wouldn't male Khaki Campbells have curly feathers and greenish heads by now?

    Sick duck

    Yet another one of my 1 month old khaki campbell girls is apparently ill. Her throat and tongue are swollen, and she won't stretch out her neck. Could she have eaten a small poisonous toad or something?

    warts on the bill of sick duck

    Hello, One of our khaki campbell ducks was suddenly lethargic today, and avoided the other ducks. This evening we noticed three 'warts' on her bill, and on the inside of her bill there are black dots at the same spots. She was very docile when picked up to be checked, and didn't try to move her...

    I have twelve khaki Campbell pullets. One of them yesterday sustained an apparently superficial leg injury that has already begun to heal.
