Just wanted to apologize for my past posts. I have just the worst anxiety about animal's health. My dogs are fine for the most part, except for my cow dog who has sadly passed away from cancer not long ago. The rest of the dogs are completely okay and healthy, I was just overreacting. No they...
I have two new pullets, who are kept separate from my flock. They are about 2 months old and there is a black pullet and a white pullet, both appear to be okay but the white seems to have a pale spots or patches on her comb such as on the crease of the eye and on her ears I think that's what...
I just got two ducklings today. Is there any way to tell the difference between the male and the female without venting? (I tried that and i guess they aren't old enough) It looks like they're just a few days old. They seem to be rouen or mallard ducklings
Hi! My pullets recently started laying eggs. I have 5 of them. I got them last year. Today I collected 3 eggs and they seemed to be from different chickens, which is new. 2 more apparently started laying today. I got 1 normal brown egg, one small white oblong egg, and a small cream or beige...
Hello! Sorry if im a bother. I have 2 female muscovies and one of them is incredibly nippy. The one that bites sometimes bites the chickens and sometimes the other female (i only let the ducks and the chickens out together when supervised) and seems to be trying to mount them kind of? Is this...
hi! yes I know this sounds silly but i have noticed my lavender muscovy duck seemingly bite at the air and sometimes making clicking noises. Is it normal for muscovies to do this or is it something serious? I did see her sneeze one time so could it be a respiratory thing? I haven't seen any...
okay so i have two muscovies which i was told were both female
I have a black one and lavender one
the black one seems a little wider than the lavender and seems to dislike my drake
i apologize for the mess in the pictures, we are cleaning up the yard rn
I have two muscovy ducks that i bought off of craigslist, the people that sold them to me seemed pretty knowledgeable about them and had a bunch of muscovies. I was told they were female but kinda questioning it. Specifically the lavender one. That one is slightly bigger (could be bc shes older)...
i have two drakes, a mallard/rouen and a khaki campbell and they get along pretty well besides fighting over the pool (nothing too serious they just bite eacother a bit) they sometimes bite eachother outside the pool. they are about 4 or 5 months old. i also have a dog in my yard which they have...
okay so one of my dogs escaped (who is a cattle dog) the fence and came back with a roadkill squirrel... im worried that he could get sick as well as other people... i read on the cdc that squirrels and other rodents rarely ever carry rabies but still.. the day after that one of the 3 dogs...
hi! my dog's name is molly and i found a small bite mark on her ear, like two red spots.. she is up to date on her shots, she got her rabies vaccine a month ago, along with her spay, but she seems to be panting a lot. which is kinda common for her breed since shes half st bernard and they drool...
yesterday i went to go feed my chickens and one of them seemed to have a drooping tail and wings and not as much energy as they usually had. the other chickens were stepping on her and she didnt get up. I seperated her and she still cant stand. she still eats and drinks and acts okay. she seemed...
i have a question.. i have 3 ducks and theyre doing well but i noticed that there has been quite a lot of feathers on the ground. I haven't seen any bald spots or anything. It looks like they're preening and the feathers come off. I was worried that they could be stressed and pulling their...
hi! I need help determining the sex of these two ducklings. I have 3 and they are about a month old. I know the white pekin is a female for sure i can tell just by listening to her loud quacks. but im unsure about these other two, they haven't quacked at all.
one of my chickens had a black looking scab, i thought it was just something stuck on its face so i tried getting it off, i got it off but there were some down feathers stuck to it. under it looked like a puncture wound, it was a bit swollen and red. i thought it could be from her trying to get...
one of my ducklings has been having green poos, not neon green but it is kind of light, i thought it could be from him/her eating grass and foraging but they eat feed (i use dumor 20% chick grower/starter) for the most part. could this be an issue? they havent been acting weird or anything but...
i have 3 ducklings of different breeds, one of them who is a pekin duck seems to be panting when he sits down, he/she still eats and drinks and all and they sometimes makes noise, like a quack almost. he seems to be moving his tail too. They have both water food and shade. is there anything i...
I got 7 chicks from my local tractor supply during chick days about a month ago. they've grown a lot and are doing well but today I've noticed something. one of them has a wound on her beak, could this be fowlpox or just a beak injury?
