Hey guys a friend of mine lost one of her beautiful drakes yesterday and we don’t know what happened
He was perfectly normal the day before
Then in the morning she went to let them out and his corkscrew was prolapsed and he was just laying on the ground
She went to the store to get him stuff...
Hey guys so a couple days ago (Wednesday) today being Saturday, there was a hawk in the yard watching my birds, my drakes all jumped their fence to protect the girls and now my one boy has an injured leg. He won’t walk on it or put pressure on it though he will put it down to balance himself but...
My hubby let the birds out this morning and found my one hen with her head cocked, he pet her and she vomited brown water so he rushed to get me out there. I carefully picked her up to bring her inside and she vomited tons more brown water.
She’s now in my bathtub and has almost emptied her...
My hen is about 2 1/2 years old, it’s winter right now but hasn’t been super cold, my hens comb has flopped over and I think it’s a little bit discoloured, she refuses to go out into the yard yesterday and just wanted to lay in the coop (she was also fluffed up when nobody else was) so I brought...
This will be long but bear with me ❤️

I have 5 cayuga hens and 4 drakes (I know I know boys will be separated once snow melts enough to put a fence up) the thing im confused about is one of my “drakes” doesn’t seem like a drake, he hatched weird and has messed up feet (they’re a year old now) I swore it was a girl at hatching, and...
I have a duck with messed up feet, they’re sideways and crooked and he doesn’t actually walk on the webbed part. Gets around fine keeps up with the other birds (I’m not going to kill him so don’t even say it)
My problem is winter. We have harsh winters lots of snow, cold stays around -25c can...
She’s 9 weeks old now, it used to be completely upside down like the first picture, I spend 3 weeks consistently taping her foot into the correct position but this is how it has stayed for the majority of her life so far. She walks and runs fine but she doesn’t seem to like to walk as much as...
I have 4 females and one drake that have all been together for just over a year, never had any problems with them they all got along great. A couple weeks ago I added 4 more ducklings (not 100% sure the sexes yet I know one is a female) they don’t share a house yet but they all free range...
He had 5 toes on each foot which I learnt is only in a few breeds, he was super skittish, kinda mean, slightly smaller than my hens in the last pic. And he was fast.
Curious what he was as he was a beautiful bird
I have a duckling that has no name yet, she has two messed up legs and is the sweetest thing, she is a cayuga (I believe it’s a girl)
