Chia is an almost 3 year old hen. She has inflamed scales on her feet and legs in some areas. But it doesn’t look like scaly leg mites. We found her laying in the middle of the yard unable to walk 3 days ago. I immediately isolated her from the rest of my flock. She could only waddle and from...
Hey all. I am usually a chicken lady and I know absolutely nothing about ducks. There is a wild duck standing in the road and he has been there for over two hours now. We pulled our car up very close to him and he still didn’t move but a few inches. He doesn’t seem to be hurt but I don’t know...
