    Duckling with half of bill gone

    I have a duckling that hatched a day and a half ago that has half of the top of its bill gone… i’ve done a bit of research but I was just wondering if there’s anything else I can do for him? And is there any chance some of it might grow back? I’ve cleaned the bill with vetericyn and put a very...

    Help!

    I found my female duck laying in the coop with her feet out unnaturally. Her feet kept shaking and she wasn’t talking like she normally would. What is going on? I put her in a bath to warm her up a bit and get her to float a little i guess. I’m hoping she can get her feet beneath her, but it’s...

    Ascites

    I have a hen with ascites and I’m going to drain it tomorrow. I went to the store and got needles and syringes. I have read that a 20 ga 1/2 in needles works best, but they were out of stock, so I just just got 20 ga x 3/4 in. Is this needle still okay to use?

    Ascites

    Hello, I’m 99% sure my Australorp mix has water belly, or ascites. Her belly feels like a water balloon ready to burst. Is an 18 gauge needle okay for draining it?

    Genders?

    I have two half Pekin and half Khaki Campbell’s, along with a full blooded Khaki Campbell. I have no clue what the genders are lol. They’re around 6 weeks old, and the one with the less defined bib is the most talkative so far. The black ones both have a hint of shiny green on their heads, but...

    Duck eating poop????

    My duck hen has a habit of eating dirt. She’ll go outside, and just munch on it lol. She recently picked up on eating her own feces, as well as the other duck’s poop. Is this normal? Can I stop it? She contaminated the water every times she gets a drink, because she has poop on her beak. I don’t...

    Chicken Mites/Lice

    I checked my rooster today for mites, and there was a huge red spot near his vent that I’m pretty sure is due to lice or mites. I’ve cleaned out the whole coop and the bedding, sprayed it down with poultry lice coop spray (including the roost), and mixed poultry dust with the bedding. I’ll dust...

    Black spots on chicken comb

    Yesterday, I noticed quite a bit of blackness on my roosters comb. I just got around to snapping a picture, and it seems to have cleared up a lot. Any idea of what this is? Just dried blood or something more serious?

    Crooked Toe?? Help!

    I just adopted 3 Salmon Faverolles and one of the pullets has a crooked toe. I think it’s broken and I’m not sure what to do. She doesn’t seemed bothered by it, but then again, I’ve only had them for a day.

    Bumps?

    My rooster is a 5 and a half month old Dominique and has started getting red bumps on his legs and one on each shank, higher than the spurs. What is it?

    Help

    I just got two Australorp mix pullets today, but their feathers are looking weird... Could it just be that other chickens at their old home we’re picking at them? Or are they sick? Their wings are kinda droopy too...

    Is my rooster a cross breed?

    I have a 3 1/2 month old Dominique cockerel, but I’ve been noticing some differences in his plumage. On over half of his black and white feathers, he has a little bit of tint (greenish purple) kinda like an Australorp. Does a Dominique’s coloration have tints in it? I also have seen that their...

    Help!

    So, a few months ago I got two chicks, later figured out that they were both cockerels. They’re besties, ya know, cuddling in the corner and such. Well, my Australorp was killed by a hawk. My other roo is a Dominique, and he seems really sad about it. He’s not talking much and just lays down in...

    Gender?

    Are these pullets cockerels?

    Sooo I’m pretty sure that they’re both roos, but I’m currently wishing that they aren’t. But, I need feedback. I have a Black Australorp and a Barred Rock. The Australorp is about 5 days younger than the Rock. Whenever I pick up the Barred Rock, Hershey, or show the slightest affection toward...
