So yesterday my duck got a bill smashed underneath a patio brick while worm hunting. Today I noticed that it has wrinkles across the top so I'm wondering if it cracked it I read something about super glue and tea bags but I didn't really grasp how to do it. Or if it's even needed for this case I...
I noticed a rotting smell when I picked up my aunts hen, so I inspected her and found the area around her vent seems to be caked with this yellow stinky pasty stuff. Gave her a soak and then washed the area with Dawn dish soap. Which made a small improvement. I tried to remove some of the pasty...
I went to drain some of the fluid out of my ducks abdomen, and what appears to be a lot of blood with it. Before you ask, yes I did try 2 locations on the lower right side of her belly. Just to be sure I hadn't got a vein. What would cause that and should I go ahead and drain some of it? Because...
I thought my duck was just getting fat then I picked her up and noticed right off the bat that she has a like squishy bulge like a water balloon under her belly. I read up on what it could be and learned it is water belly which can be caused by other underlying illnesses such as organ failure or...
I thought my duck was getting fat from being broody and sitting on the nest all summer. But today I picked her up cuz I noticed she's moving slow and discovered that this fat pouch that I thought she had feels more like squishy water I don't know what it is or why she has it so I'm coming to you...
So...I found that I have a lice infestation on all my chickens. I bought a bottle of Elector PSP and what I need to know is, can I make a bath solution and just dip each bird in it instead of spraying them? Spraying them seems like it will be very time consuming and I don't have a lot of time as...
So I noticed my aunt's Brahma chicken was walking really slowly and kind of tucking her butt down a little bit so I picked her up and looked at her butt area and there's a lot of poop and her flesh looked a little dead I guess. Well when my aunt got home I went to show her and got to look in a...
So I got home last night and was looking for my little silky rooster named patootie. Couldn't find him in his normal spot, so I asked my aunt and she said he was in the little Coop that she seen him in there yesterday and just left him in there since he was already settled in well I went and got...
So we have a natural pond that I let the ducks out of the pen to go play in everyday and then bring them back in before dark well today they went over to the neighbors to play in their water and I noticed my little black duck who's usually very active was laying on the ground I walked right up...
So my aunt has multiple roosters one with the majority of the hens that has a fully enclosed chicken house to go into, one in a run with a coop above it, one rooster in a pen with our ducks, and one in an enclosure with a covered top with two walls and two sides fencing. There's a roost on the...
So I'm taking care of my aunt's egg bound hen. she's been in this condition for over a week. I have managed to get her to eat small amounts of yogurt and creamed corn and drink water here and there. But she is feathers and bones and her underbelly from right behind her legs all the way to her...
So this is my hen named Bug. She's the tiniest Little hen with a big personality I posted a video of her on tiktok that I wanted to share with you about my hen that apparently identifies as a rooster lol https://photos.app.goo.gl/WeuUgoxKKZ2uf5j4A
So my aunt and uncle have chickens and they're kind of naive as far as the care and do's and don'ts. Well my uncle took the deer head with bits of raw meat out and let the chickens eat on it. My aunt said that she heard that raw meat was good for chickens I'm not so sure I definitely wouldn't...
So did the night before last my duck got a hold of some Walnut kitty litter and ate it now last night and noticed that it seemed like she was having seizures like symptoms. I couldn't stay with her because I had to go to work and I just want to know is she going to die or is there anything I can...
So I have a Rhode Island Red rooster, and he's a big boy, and a little Silkie rooster that's less than half his size. Red doesn't mess with the silky, he actually tries to just keep his distance. But my little silky rooster always waits for my big rooster to have his back to him and then turbo...
So I noticed my aunt's chicken was off by herself always hiding underneath something and balled up and whenever I pick her up she starts mouth breathing. I noticed her comb has fallen over and she has one nostril that's crusty and almost plugged up. But when I apply pressure above her nostrils...
So a few days ago my lil rooster got something caught in his throat. He seemed to be breathing just fine and was even still crowing. Now he isn't crowing, he won't drink or eat, his tongue is white and pulled back into throat, and the tips of his crown are turning purple. He tries to eat but...
So the other day my rooster tried eating a big piece of bread. Every since then he hasn't been himself. He's not crowing, he has slime forming on the corner of his mouth, he makes like a rattly noise when I try to massage his throat, and he's no longer active. He only slightly holds his mouth...
