    Sour crop question

    Last night my husband said he saw water come out of one of our hens mouth. I immediately thought of sour crop. This morning I checked her crop before she ate or drank and it felt completely normal. I didnt smell any sour oder coming from her. She is eating, drinking, laying eggs and free ranging...

    Luna fooled us all...

    3 years ago I ordered 3 chickens from crackle hatchery and received 4. Luna (pictured) was an extra that they added to the box. I posted pictures of her years ago and we all thought she was a splash ameraucana which made complete sense since I had a chicken that was laying blue eggs. However...

    Niacin help!

    I have a 3 week old duck that is having issues walking. His legs are bowed and his legs shake when he's just standing still. He tends to lose his balance often. I've had him on Manna Pro duckling starter since he was born. Last week I started giving him Honey Combs Niacin supplement (80mg per...

    Hatching one duck egg

    We recently lost our male pekin duck, so I decided to put a few eggs in the incubator. Only one turned out to be fertile. About 2 weeks into this process my female went broody. Today is hatch day and I was wondering if anyone has brought the egg out to a broody duck so when it hatches she'll...

    Which mom was mine?

    The rooster was a black australorp, the hen could either be a splash ameraucana or an easter egger. Both lay identical eggs so I'm not sure which breed he could be. I'm 99.9% sure he is in fact a rooster. Thoughts?

    First Hatch

    I was hoping to get some thoughts from hatching experts out there! I noticed a little crack in the egg this morning around 8am its now 9pm and this is all the progress made. I'm worried about the position of the hole and the fact that the membrane is still intact. Any suggestions? The chick is...

    Swollen foot

    Any thoughts on how you would treat this? She limps around, lays down often but still eating and drinking. I wrap her foot at night with neosporin and silver healing gel. At first I thought potential bumblefoot, but now after a few days it doesn't seem to be getting better. Tonight I tried...

    Bumblefoot?

    Do you think this is bumblefoot or potential burn? She accidentally got out onto a section a pavement last week when it was really sunny. She has them on both of her feet in the same location. The one seems to bother her more than the other. She holds her foot up and limps a bit.

He is 15 weeks old and has started being a typical rooster, bitting at my feet and dancing all around me. We have a stand off every morning and it seems like hes trying to get me to stay put...

    Aggressive male pekin once female started laying eggs

    I have one male and one female pekin duck. Every morning when I let them out the male duck gets aggressive with me. Bites at my feet and chases after me. Does this pass once mating season is over? He only seems to this in the morning and isn't aggressive with the female or chickens he's with.

    Duck 4 months old with sudden balance issue.

    I noticed on Thursday May 3rd, that my duck was suddenly having a balance issue. I called a local vet to see of he could sew him, and unfortunately I cannot find a vet in my area that will see ducks. He spoke with me on the phone, and told me he thinks it's a neck injury (my first thought was...
