Hi there! I’ve got a duck who is limping and has a swollen foot. I had thought there was a black spot but thinking now it was just crud. I cut a small slit to see if there was a corn but there’s NOTHING that I can see. :( I feel so bad that I cut her foot and I didn’t find the problem. I did...
Hi there! The last couple of days one of my chickens has been sneezing and not seeming right. I just thought she wasn’t getting enough water. Now tonight almost all of my chickens are sneezing and have watery or some foam in the corner of the eyes. I just had a chicken a couple of weeks ago that...
I am so stumped! I noticed for awhile now my Pekin Duck wouldn’t walk far distances with the other ducks. I just figured it was because she’s a heavier breed so can’t keep up lol! Last night I finally was able to catch her and noticed her ankles are HUGE!! She walks around fine but I have been...
I tried candling the egg and didn’t see any movement. I think the duckling died but in unsure. It was peeping and making noises in there a couple days ago and now it’s not. Can anyone tell me what they think? It is floating.
I have a first time duck mama! She is a Rouen and her babies started hatching yesterday. 4 are hatched, one was squished and one is still hatching. Originally I only saw 3 ducklings in the nest. I went back because there should have been 4 and realized there was one that fell out of the nest and...
Hi there! My 5 year old duck was discovered laying in the gravel with her feet up in the air. When my husband came to get me I got out there and our turkey was standing on her neck and head. I brought her in and she really didn’t look like she was going to make it. But she came out of it and...
I discovered tonight that I have a missing chicken and found one dead. There are feathers all over the coop and outside of the window. I found the body of one chicken in an open cattle type shed close to the coop. There were feathers of this chicken in two other spots than where I found her body...
My barred rock hen had an impacted crop over a month ago but I got that sorted out. She seemed to be getting better and not as sleepy as she was but now she is acting sleepy again and still so so so skinny!!!! I watched her tonight eat and drink but she didn’t seem too interested in eating much...
Hi there!
I went into my coop tonight and noticed one of my hens huddled in the middle of the floor. I picked her up and noticed she was super light and felt around and can feel she’s skin and bones!! I noticed she was smaller than the rest awhile ago but she was acting normal so didn’t think...
I have been trying to figure out what is wrong with my duck for awhile now. Her belly hasn't gotten any bigger, it doesn't seem to bother her, she acts totally normal, eating and foraging fine. I examined her again today and pushed just a little on her belly and some liquid squirted out. Not...
Hi there!!!
So I've had previous issues that we've kind of worked passed but now I notice tonight my turkey has an indented chest. He has NEVER had that before. I noticed it tonight but it hasn't been that long that it's been that way as I just carried him to the coop a couple nights ago, like I...
Not sure if this is a prolapse or something else. I don't think she is egg bound but I'm not sure. I haven't been taking care of my chickens the last week or so, it's been my husband. He didn't notice anything wrong but I noticed it right away when I took care of them tonight. I soaked her in a...
My female black swedish duck seems to have a really saggy bottom. The other night she laid a marble sized "egg" in the yard at night. No shell. She pooped it out I guess. My husband saw it. It was covered in poo. I'm not sure what's going on. I looked it up and it just had appeared like what...
Not sure what's going on! My turkey can hardly stand up. He seems to not have his balance at all. :( I'm wondering if him and the rooster I lost a couple weeks ago got into the hens food??? I'm not sure. I separated him from the rest of the coop and took everything out of that side so he didn't...
I'm not sure what is going on, I lost my bantam rooster two weeks ago and now my Tom Turkey is losing his balance! He can hardly stand up. He falls all over the coop. I just separated him from everyone and took everything out of the one side so he doesn't fall on anything. What is going on!!?? :'(
Two days ago I noticed my one year old bantam rooster flop himself backwards and flopping around. I brought him in the house and in my spare bathroom. Well now he's got a crooked neck. He chirps and talks just fine but just hangs his head low. I'm not sure what to do! :( we have no local vets...
Just went out to put the chickens in and noticed my favorite hen has a massive side injury. It looks as though from the top of her back all the way down is skinned. She is also limping on that side. Not sure what to do at this point. Can get pics in a few. She is currently in my bathtub while I...
I bought two turkey poults at a farm store probably 2 weeks ago. I didn't notice anything wrong right away but now am seeing one of the poults is laying down a lot. I lifted him/her up and noticed one of its leg joints is larger than the other and when it stands, it goes inward. I tried bracing...
I have two of my ducks eggs in the incubator due to hatch a week apart. SOON! She had been showing signs of wanting to set and she did off and on. Well now she is setting... Made herself a huge nest in the duck house with 7 eggs. I candled them yesterday as there were like 15 eggs in the nest...
Never heard this sound before but it almost sounds like this crunching sound coming from the belly area right by the leg. I put my hand down to feel and it was the creepiest feeling like something was moving in there. Is it digestion or could it be a parasite or something? Its so loud and you...
