Hello, we just received some new Australian spotted ducklings from Metzer farms yesterday and one of our ducklings keeps her one foot up and hops around on the other. We tried to straighten it and it doesn’t want to straighten at the hock. I’m scared I’ll break her leg if I try to straighten it...
Hi everyone! I have a 4 month old Americana hen who hasn’t been acting like herself. She’s keeping both eyes shut and just keeps falling asleep standing up with her feathers slightly ruffled. There’s no discharge or anything around her eyes and she does open them and perk up for a second if...
I have a 7.5 week old Easter egger, who started acting lethargic out of no where today and she has an eye that she won’t open. Trying to figure out if I should give her corrid or tylosin. There’s no discharge from eye or nasal area, and I have got her to eat some egg but not drink anything...

So I know silkies are hard to gender especially when they’re this young but I’m still going to post and see if anyone has any ideas on if she’s a hen or a roo, or what to look for to tell. She’s about 3.5 weeks old or so.
