4 year old welsummer hen, noticed her eye was closed 2-3 days ago. Brought her inside because she was shaking, not eating or drinking, and it was cold out. She still refuses to eat/drink unless I put water on her beak. Tried giving her some poultry vitamins and electrolytes, she drank some but...
My pekin duck used to lay normal hard shell eggs but now she only lays soft shell and shell-less eggs? She has access to oyster shells and sometimes gets egg shells.
My duck always walks on her tip-toes for some reason. She also lays down in the grass all day.. One of her toes is swollen and has a darker spot near her nail. I can get pictures tomorrow but i’m really worried about her:(
My 3 year old hen has been “drooling”. She hasn’t laid any eggs but she sits in the nesting box. Last egg I thought was from her was a fairy egg. She did have diarrhea a couple weeks ago. They have had dewormer.
I’m looking at a chart for breeding sex-linked silkies and most of the roosters will be “split”? I’m new to silkie genetics. Can I tell if a silkie is a split when they’re chicks?
I just received a 10-12 week old silkie. She has a plastic leg band. Do I need to take it off? If so, how would I do it? It’s pretty loose, so not hurting her.
