    Dumped duck rescued, needs home in Beaufort County NC

    I found this duck at a rural boat ramp this week and couldn't just leave it. People said it had been there about month! It's very friendly but I can't keep it. It has cute orange feet with black "toes". Willing to travel up to 2 hours to take to a good new home. It's very lonely and needs friends.

    6 yr old hen swollen red belly, penguin walk

    I think I know this is egg yolk peritonitis and she is bad, but guess I need to hear opinions. She has been this way for months. She gets listless and stops eating and I give her antibiotics which perks her up again but the swelling is now so bad she can barely walk. I've treated her 3 times...

    Biomox for egg yolk peritonitis dosage

    I have Biomox for Dogs oral suspension. My vet said add .7 ml in drinking water for 5 days for one chicken. This doesn't sound right to help presumed egg yolk peritonitis infection. The vet just prescribed for me per my request. She doesn't treat chickens. Has anyone ever used this?

    missing claw

    Just noticed one of my new pullets is missing a claw. Just wondering if this might be a birth defect? Has anyone seen this often? Will it affect her walking or scratching as she gets older?

    once chicks are off heat, do they need light or just go all night?

    Obviously I'm new to this. I have six chicks all feathered out but have always had a regular light bulb for heat so they were eating and drinking all night, so I assume. They've been in the basement but I want to move them out to the coop asap. Can they just start going all night now in the...
