I came home this afternoon and one of my new ducklings is limping… anyone have any advice? I was able to pick it up and I couldn’t see anything obviously wrong with the leg. But clearly it’s hurting. They are 12 days old. Any advice welcome! Thank you in advance. I have attempted to attach a...
Good morning community,
I have a hen, named Crystal Gayle, that is lethargic, not standing very well, she has still been eating some and drinking some. She’s had poopy butt and she had a bath this morning. I am attaching a picture of her poop. But the biggest thing I’ve noticed besides her...
My two bantam roosters have black spots on their combs. Anyone have any ideas on what this might be? Or have any tips on how I might treat this? I did have a hen die unexpectedly last week. She has had a few health issues in the past, she didn’t seem to be sick recently but she was about to turn...
Has anyone ever had experience with their duck seemingly losing their voice? Loretta Lynn normally has a loud boisterous quack, and now she sounds like she’s giggling almost. Very hoarse sounding. Anyone with any experience or knowledge?
Hey all,
My sweet Millie, a two year old Mallard, had a terrible yellow looking stool this morning. I am attaching a picture of it. (Don’t mind the chicken Crystal Gayle in the picture, she was being nosy). It’s been hot and Millie has been broody. I usually give them fresh water twice a day...
My ducks share feed with the chickens, it’s a very high-quality non-GMO feed. She has always had tighter more solid poop, but I have noticed this week that she has more of a diarrhea style loose stool. I am worried because I’m about to go on a two week trip and DH will be taking care of them...
Hi all,
Unfortunately Ginger is back on the thread. I have had her inside for a little over a week or so now. I moved her to the infirmary pen, and then the weather got bad so she’s been hanging out in the bathtub. Currently, her feet, especially one of them, are tightened up and she can’t stand...
Hi all,
I noticed when I was out with my feathered girls the other day that I had one girl with legs that seem pinkish-red and puffier than usual. Anyone have any idea what this might be? She seems fine other than that, eating normally, walking and moving normally. I’m attaching a couple...
Hi everyone,
3 day so ago I found Ginger, a red sex-link was looking quite puffed up and noticeably uncomfortable. I determined she had sour crop and I started giving her yeast infection medicine. Her crop seems much better and I’ve still been giving her the medicine as one of the other...
This poor girl is having the week from hell. Smokey is a Sapphire Gem that’s about 18 months old. She feels bonier/thinner than she should I believe.
The first thing I noticed earlier in the week, Monday, was her limping. I checked her feet and she seemed to have bumblefoot, a small black piece...
Hi! So two nights ago my two month old golden laced Wyandotte (Claudia) was the first one back to the coop and I didn’t think much about it. Yesterday morning I let the girls out to the run and Claudia didn’t follow. I don’t pick her up often but I got closer to her and she got up and it looked...
