    8 week pullet puffed and weak

    My pullet is 8 weeks old. Today I was moving her to a new enclosure and noticed she was too easy to catch. Now she is puffed up, lethargic, and out of it. Poops in the enclosure do not appear abnormal. I have administered Corid in water and her beak. I have also given sugar water, egg yolk...

    HPAI and Moving

    Hi all. I am preparing to show my house so that we may move. I am concerned that people coming into my yard may expose my birds to HPAI. I live in an urban area where HPAI has been found and we have wild geese/ducks/blackbirds. Any thoughts?

    Large new coop planning

    I am preparing to move and dramatically increase my flock. I am concerned about attempting to build something completely on my own, as I do not have a ton of tools and will be managing a lot of logistics. That said, I want to DIY what I can. I do not like how cheap prefab setups are. I am...

    Pullet with a leg injury

    I have a pullet about 8 weeks old. She was in an enclosure with her siblings and seemed fine. Two days ago I found her puffed up and struggling to walk. She appears to have an issue with one leg. On palpation it feels warmer than the other side. She does not flinch or fight when I move it or...

    Are they ready to go outside yet?

    These ducks are 8 weeks old. Two pekins and a Swedish. They just got out of the bath in this photo. I live in Denver, CO. Our spring is hectic. We see lows at night in the 30-50 with daytime temps in the 50-80 right now. Can they go outside yet? I know I need to acclimate them, but I want...

    Planning for a new coop…

    My family is moving and we have doubled our flock. I am scheming a new coop set up. I would like it to work for 25 birds. I am handy but very very busy so building completely from scratch is not likely. We live in Colorado, so brutal cold, snow, heat are all the norm. I’m thinking of a shed...

    Duck transitional housing

    I have three ducklings in a mixed flock that I am delighted with. They have outgrown their large storage bin home, but it is too cold here (Colorado) for them outside. Any suggestions for an indoor duck enclosure that will better meet their needs until the spring + more feathers?

    Combining two backyard flocks w/Mareks

    I have two small backyard flocks (4 birds each at this point). There is definite mareks in one flock, which was really hard and upsetting. We have a lot of migratory birds that come in our backyard and are guessing that';s where it came from. Because we have so few birds and they are primarily...

    Hello. We had a single egg hatch and don’t want our duckling to be lonely. Unfortunately we cannot find a duckling friend anywhere. If you have a young duckling that you would spare please let me know!

    What kind of duck? Solo duckling tips?

    Hello! I am new to hatching ducks. I started With six but only one made it to hatch. What kind of duck is this? She hatched from a large white egg. Also any suggestions for keeping a lone baby duck company? It was definitely not my plan. I’m hatching more, but that will obviously take some...

    Success: Chick walking on hocks

    I just wanted to share my success story. It wouldn’t have happened without BYC. I hatched my first batch of eggs this December. They came just in time for winter solstice. I had five that pipped, zipped, and hatched on d21. D22 a final chick hatched. She was sticky and seemed weak. She also...
