Hello! I went to the feed store yesterday for some baby chickens when I saw this duckling on its back getting pecked by all the other ducklings. The employee said he was like that because he “drank too much water”. I didn’t believe that but I didn’t want him to continue to get beat up so I...
I’m assuming this is wry neck. His head is constantly twisted to the side. He hatched on 07/03 and I’ve seen little improvement. He can walk and stand but will eventually fall over and can’t get back up. He’s still in the incubator because the others will pick on him if he’s in the brooder. Is...
My buff Cochin decided to have a secret nest under the nest boxes and we have some developing babies. I’m just wondering if she’s the biological mother or if another hen laid these. They all look the same color. Possible breeds: Buff or Partridge Cochin, Lavender Orpington, Easter Egger, Blue...
This little guy pipped in the middle of the egg yesterday. He was very weak and I constantly checked if he was still breathing all day yesterday. Barely moving at all, I slowly helped him out of the egg. I know, I know but He really couldn’t do it. He was so weak. I opened the egg enough to...
This is my beautiful boy BJ. About a month ago he was attacked and dropped by an owl. Other than having the wind knocked out of him and a few claw marks he seemed fine. His Comb has been pale since. I’ve been rubbing vet RX on his Comb, waffles, and feet. He got LA 200 injections every 3 days...
My sweet boy got attacked by some kind of bird at night and they dropped him and I found him with craw marks in his back. The cuts were minor but he hasn’t been himself and now his Comb is flopped over and his face is pale. He’s also been sneezing mildly. He’s been sleeping on the ground as...
This is my head rooster. In fact, he is the only rooster in his flock. He occasionally runs into other flocks with their own head rooster but I’ve never seen anyone mess with him and he doesn’t mess with anyone. My birds spread out into the yard and have their own clicks and coops they go into...
This is my 5 month old rooster, I believe. I was locking them up a few nights ago and noticed he couldn’t get up. He just stands up straight and can waddle a little then usually falls on his back or lays down. What do you think is wrong with him? He eats and drinks normally.
There doesn’t seem to be anything physically wrong with him. He’s 5 months old. He just flops over on his back when he tries to get up. He is VERY interested in food and water. What’s wrong with him?
My neighbor has chickens and brought me this hen today and told me if I don’t take her he would cull her. I thought I would try and save her. What happened and is there a way to treat her?
My chicks hatched on December 29th and I’m noticing as feathers start to grow, this one seems to have a deformed wing. What could’ve caused this and will it be able to live a normal life?
My ducklings aren’t due till January 5th but have been rolling around in the egg. Are they going to hatch sooner? Should I go ahead and put them on lock down? They are Cayuga/Pekin mix.
I found my Cayuga duck hen sitting on a nest and discovered multiple eggs were fertilized. She was not in a safe place to nest so I decided to take the eggs inside to incubate them. I have 6 chicken eggs and 2 duck eggs. I’m not sure how far along they are. I found them on December 11th and here...
