    Mean Ducklings? Bullying

    I have 2 older runner female ducks. And I had a silkie hen raise three ducklings (indian runners). The ducklings (all female) were great and normal for the first 4 months.

    My Wyandotte hen about 4 years old started sneezing last week and I thought it was a URI so I got antibiotics from my vet (didn't bring her in) She lost a lot of weight and has been lethargic, I wormed her but expected the antibiotics to help.

    Silkie chicken mom adopted ducklings

    I have a really sweet silkie that's always wanted to be a mom that never got a chance thanks to everyone else in the flock hiding away and having babies without permission. Thankfully that's over with. But I didn't need anymore chickens. I did need ducks. And I read about people having great...

    Emergency hatch☹️

    Today is the day my 3 eggs should be hatching. They have been under broody moms desperate for babies. They did great until today. They threw one half way hatched baby out of the nesting box. No one will accept the baby and I don't have an incubator anymore. I'm trying to keep him warm but he's...

    Heather

    My chicken got egg bound. I've never had this issue before so when I read they can die within 48 hours I freaked out and brought her to the vet after at least 24 hours of trying epsom salt soaks and extra calcium and lube. The vet agreed she's egg bound. She gave her a calcium injection, iv...

    Cats/kittens/chickens

    I have an old brooder plate/heater that has 2 warm settings. One just for regular heat and one for baby chicks. I haven't used it for a while and probably won't. Would it be ok to use it for a cat? Underneath a cat bed for a few hours at a time or overnight? (It will be sanitized) I feel like if...

    Savannah booboo

    My pekin Savannah started limping and I thought oh dear it's bumble. I looked at her feet and they looked surprisingly perfect. So I thought she could have sprained her ankle. So I brought her inside to soak in the tub and rest. The next day I noticed she actually had her back claw cut in half...

    Broody

    So I feel like a horrible person. Just trying to vent here because only people who have chickens as pets would understand. I know a lot of you don't keep them as pets but I do. So some of my chickens went broody recently which I've dealt with for years. I kick em out of the nest and take their...

    Double yolker 🤔

    I keep getting double yolks from one chicken. I'm not sure who. I'm always delighted to see them. But the eggs are as big as my duck eggs. Doesn't this hurt my girl? I think it is my Buff Orpington Pot Pie. Someone told me to be concerned for their health if this happens. But I've also heard...

    Gander?

    So 7-8 months ago I purchased 2 female geese. They're great. Naughty af but great. Today I believe they laid their first egg (see attached photo) It was huge. A bit bigger than my ducks eggs. But we think it's the geese because they built a pretty big nest which the ducks don't do. So when I...
