I've had this chicken elixir from strong animals since the third month of 2022 which I opened the day I got it, it's just been sitting lid closed in a room that stays in the 70s to 64°f range so it's not gotten super hot or cold. Is it safe to use still? I need to open it and see what it looks...

One of my four week old free range ducklings has a hole in her crop and foods coming out of it. I don't really know what to do I just noticed it today it seems fresh and it doesn't have blood or any signs of infection. I will get some photos of it as soon as possible. I have the duckling...

One of my two guinea fowl who we got on the thirteenth of April 2022 has frostbite on her right foot. She got it a few days ago not more than a week now I believe it happened from her getting her foot wet outside or something. I haven't done much with it besides look at it whenever I can Doodle...

I was gone for two days yesterday I came back, my brother was feeding them for me while I was away. When I came home I found Pearl in a corner by a window well. I immediately knew something was wrong. I felt her legs and everywhere I could think of, I couldn't feel anything weird. When I pick...

Today I noticed that one of my 4 year old blue swedish ducks (Duck, is her name) doesn't want to eat and her crop is full looking and feels like there's a lot of liquid in it. She went to go eat and she kind of just touched the food with her bill, she's been drinking water and I haven't been...

One of my chickens went broody around the 28th of July, she had a good amount of eggs but after almost a week the other chickens and ducks knocked them out of her nest and ate them so she lost the majority of the first eggs she "collected" most of the eggs have been duck eggs and one or two...

When I first saw the egg I thought it was a cayuga egg but really small, but then I thought and Im not so sure about it now that it was probably one if my guinea fowls first eggs but Im pretty sure they're not supposed to look like that. It has a lot of texture to its shell. I've never seen an...

Should I just leave it be or at least get put it in some warm water for a little bit and make sure its clean? It seems to be bothering her quit a bit as she's limping a little and has been sitting a lot. I think it happened earlier today.

So I noticed today that one of my oldest hens has a "bulging" crop and won't eat but drinks a lot of water. I have read this article a few times already. https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/how-to-treat-sour-crop-and-impacted-crop-and-how-to-know-which-one-youre-dealing-with.73607/ I...

She seems to be acting normal. 3) How long has the bird been exhibiting symptoms? A few hours maybe. 4) Are other birds...

So this coop is currently housing 11 chickens and 8 ducks and has been for about 2 years now. And the ventilation isn't very good. I did not build this coop, and it was originally made in town for four hens. I am here trying to make it work until I can find a better way to house my flock. It...

This is Angelina, she is a three year old pekin. We got her from Murdoch's so I have had her since she was a two day old duckling. She has had bumble foot for over a year now. I have tried treating it with epsom salt soaks but didn't do it enough and did not have confidence in myself to treat...
