I've never seen this before. This round of leghorns I bought from Tractor Supply have been nothing but trouble. First of all they were suppose to be Amberlinks, and ended up being Leghorns. I've never owned leghorns. Maybe it's a characteristic of them, but this birds just dont seem to be very...

Alright, this guy pipped over 24hrs ago and has been like this for quite a while. It's a BCM. Still pretty active-- moving and chirping. My temp and humidity are both good. I've had 5 others hatch no problem. This is day 23. Its about 8:30pm here. Should I just leave it, go to bed, and see...

Just wanted to hear y'alls thoughts. All of these came from the same girl. I know this because my "Ameracauncas" (I use the term loosely) are a bit older and have stopped laying for the year. They mostly lay light blue eggs. I got this girl in the Spring. She was labeled either an Oliver egger...

These are just "backyard mix" breed ducks that hatched in the spring. Just this week I noticed one holding its wings funny. Does this look like the start of Angel wing? Or something else? The wings dont stay close to the body like the other ducks. Hope the pictures help:

Does this look like bumble foot? She's been limping. Thanks in advance

Does this look like leg mites, or am I just being paranoid? She's about 2 years old.

This happened earlier today while i was at work. Currently inside Sprayed wound with Vetericyn Gave Nutri-drench directly (also put some in water, but she has not drank any) Has eaten a small amount of feed from my hand, also a very little bit of scrambled egg. Is wound too deep? Any and all...

So, mama hen abandoned the rest of the eggs today and only 1 chick has hatched. It hatched Saturday and so far is doing very good. Eating, drinking, pooping, active, curious etc. Do you think it will continue to thrive being an only chick? This is a first time mama and our first time...

All of my chickens have come from a hatchery and have been vaccinated. We currently have a hen sitting on several eggs due to hatch mid September. I've read several things about mareks on here but everyone seems to have a different opinion. I'm pretty certain I want to vaccinate, but would...

So obviously I know this eggshell isn't made of glass... Watch the video and turn up the sound, and tell me what you think. Never experienced this before, maybe it's normal. I noticed it as soon as I put it in my basket. You cant really tell from the video, but once cracked open the egg is...

I've read the article on here about causes of discolored/Speckled eggs, and i also read through some other post. I can't find a definite answer on speckled/different colored eggs. Some posts say it's normal, other say that it could be signs of stress/disease. So here it is, what do you think??

Meet Kevin, We adopted Kevin when he was 3 months old. (Someone returned him to the hatchery, now I know why :lol:) Anyway, Kevin has chased me twice. Both times were in the morning right after I let everyone out, and both times I was wearing red. Crazy Question: Are roosters sensitive to...

We lock our ducks up every night, and when we let them out in the morning they RUN to a area with thick brush were she has made a small nest with 3 eggs. The male keeps watch while she sits. But here's the thing-- she only sits on them for like an hour in the morning and then doesn't go back...

I'm sure this is in another post somewhere, but I am having a lot of trouble with this new website. Took me 45 min just to get here to post this. ANYWAY-- never seen anything like this before, is it worms? Or maybe just something to do with the watermelon they ate yesterday? I have 18 birds...

I have 2 one year old ducks. 1 female- light tan color(breed?) &1 male- Pekin. We started with 5 but lost 3 of them in August of last year. Around February we got 7 more ducks (3 pekin and 4 rouen) in hopes that we could get more females. There pens are separated, but side by side so they...

3 week pekin duckling, growing faster than others, and can't walk. I know it's probably a niacin deficiency. I wanted to give a direct dose of nutri drench, packaging says 1cc for every 3lbs. How much could a three-week duckling possibly weigh?

I have 9 1year old hens and a 6month old rooster that I am trying to merge with 8 3month old chicks. They have been in the same coop (but separated by chicken wire) since the chicks were just days old. The older birds usually free range all day but I have kept them in and opened the coop...

I just brought home 8 ducklings and one was unresponsive. The others were trampling he/she so i removed from others put under heat at around 90-95°, gave a little nutri-drench with syringe, and in and out of sleep will drink water with electrolyte in it. Any advice? I know sometimes they are...

One of my chicks doesn't have "wing feathers" (not sure of the correct term) like the rest of them. Is this normal? Am I just over thinking things?

I have 5 ducks, 4 males 1 female who just recently started laying. They free range and have access to a pond during the day and are put up in a fairly decent size pen at night. This morning i found 2 of the males dead. There was no size of entrance into the pen. Both of them had wounds on...
