    Need advice please!

    I can't figure out what's going on with this 6 week old hen. Shes been sick for about a week. The pics show blood in her droppings, so that would lead me to believe its Coccidiosis. I've also attached a pic of her eye, which would lead me to believe she has a respiratory infection. I was giving...

    Can anyone tell me what this is and how to treat it?

    I just noticed this where the tail feathers should be coming in. She is a barred rock and will be 3 weeks old tomorrow. What is it and how do I treat it? TIA!

    Need help with a sick call duck please

    I saw 2 of my call duck drakes fighting with another call duck drake. They were in the pond so I was not able to get to them. They appeared to be trying to drown the drake. Now the little drake that they were attacking is not doing well at all. I initially put him in the avairy by himself; but...

    Question about broody Mandarin

    I have a Mandarin hen that has been on a next for a LONG time. I know it's been longer than 28 days because I have call duck eggs that I collected about a week after she went broody and they are pipping as I type this. She has the eggs buried under shavings and some feathers. She only comes out...

    sick chick..help!!!

    I got 5 buff orphingtons one week ago yesterday. They were about 3 days old when I got them. A few days ago, I noticed that one of the girls was kind of gasping/panting when she breathed.

    Rescue..is this a chicken or a wild bird?

    I know this sounds like a really dumb question, but I'm just not sure. When we were feeding and watering everyone last night, we found this tiny little bird by the duck aviary. It looks alot like my brown leghorns when we first got them. My brown leghorn girl does roam around in the yard, but...

    Leghorn in trouble..plz help!!

    I have 3 leghorn hens that are about 3 months old. One of the girls tends to get picked on a little more than the other two by our RIR girls. We separated them from the RIR but one of them jumps the fence and comes to the area where we keep the babies. She just tends to want to hang out with...

    duck tilting his head????

    One of my 10-11 month old Rouen drakes is tilting his head to the side. I don't know if they can develop wry neck at this age, but I kind of don't think that's what it is. He keeps shaking his head and I saw somewhere on here about ear infections. Could that be the problem or could it be early...

    Another what kind of duck am I question

    My husband was mowing the grass last weekend and noticed our neighbor's mallard hen with babies. They would have NEVER made it out here, so we caught the babies and the momma and put them in a kennel until we can release them in a few weeks. There are mallard drakes, a cayuga drake and some...

    not sure what day it is...

    after losing a rouen duck nest that was almost ready for hatch, we decided to take the eggs from another hen and incubate them. I counted day 1 as the day I set them as they really weren't veining yet, but after candling last night, I'm thinking they may be a little farther along than I...

    We got Mandie!!!!!!!!!!!

    She showed up this morning!!! She was sleeping on the island this afternoon, so hubby went and got his cast net. She jumped in the water, but he was able to snag her. Ideally, she would have stayed on land long enough for him to catch her, but that didn't happen. My only concern is that she went...

    Mandarin egg incubation

    I have 12 shipped Mandarin eggs in the incubator that are on day 7. My silkie hen went broody on Mon or Tues of this week. I candled the mandarin eggs last night just to see if I could tell what's going on with them. There were 2 clears, 2 with veining starting, the rest of them I'm not too sure...

    Broodie silkie!!!

    I really never thought this girl would go broody. Although she's a silkie, she just didn't seem to have the "personality" for it. I am completely shocked!!! So now here's my dilemma....I have 12 shipped Mandarin eggs in the bator that are on day 6. Should I put them under her or leave them in...

    Pics of Mandarin pen..NOW with pics of the Mandarins

    Just thought I'd post a couple of pictures of our Mandarin (and eventually white call ducks) aviary. We lost our drake to a predator and have another one scheduled to be here tomorrow. We have to figure out how we're going to catch our hen, as she has been free ranging ever since hubby...
