Hello,
I have an almost 6 month turkey hen that is seeming lethargic, spreading out her wings and barely eating. We brought her in to isolate her and her feces is liquid. We are thinking it is possibly blackhead but we have no idea what to do or how to treat/help. The past few days she has had...
Hello,
I have a Rouen duckling that I acquired from someone else. It is about 3 or 4 weeks old. Since it’s been in my possession I have been supplementing it with niacin and trying to bound its legs. It is currently walking on its hocks and it never seems to get any better. Culling is not an...
Hello, I have a two month old emu that has been acting normal, crazy as usual and everything is completely fine. I’m new to owning emus so I’m just wondering if light green feces are normal, it was light green, sandy-ish (we live in a sandy soil location) and streaks of white. If I need to...
Hello,
I have a pekin duck who seems to have a dislocated joint or something going on. She is heavier but we are trying our best to put them on a diet. When I picked her up and touched it, it felt that it would pop and then pop back out when I let my hand off of it. What do I do?.
Hello,
I just bought a poult today. She is 10 days old. It was about a 2 hour drive back home. I am assuming it’s either coccidiosis or it is just stress. When we got her home we let her eat and drink. She will walk around but when she is standing still she just seems tired and huntches over a...
Hello,
I have a two week old emu chick that has a foamy eye and I’m pretty sure an open wound. The other one seems to have a foamy eye also. I am worried that it is MG or MS. I am a ex poultry inspector and I am worried that I possibly brought it home to them. I have worked with the disease...
Hello, i am a first time emu owner. I got mine yesterday and it is almost two weeks old. It has been very sleepy. Is this normal?. Its feces is also very green and liquidy which I wasn’t sure is normal. I started it on rooster booster and medicated chick feed. It has been eating up chopped kale...
Hello,
I am interested in getting some emu chicks but I’m not sure where to even start. I know we will need at least 6 ft fencing and we are okay with that!. I also know ratite feed is okay ( I think). If there are any articles of beneficial things about them or the caretaking of them that would...
Hello,
I have a chick that pooped out blood. We couldn’t figure out which one it was but we have been narrowing it down. Since that we haven’t seen any blood. All the chicks are about 2 weeks old and all of them are acting fine, running, eating and drinking. They have pine bedding and one of...
We are seeking to build a permanent brooder box and would love to see inspiration. If y’all have any please let us know. We want plenty of room and something also convenient to clean!.
We got this duckling last Saturday. We are assuming she is not even a week old. Yesterday she was having fun, zoomies, eating, drinking and everything normal. She is usually cuddly but also very energetic. Yesterday night she suddenly didn’t feel good. She wasn’t eating but she would drink a...
Hello,
I am a first time duck owner and I have a female duckling that is about 2 weeks old. Today she was playing like normal. When we checked on her later she seemed to not be herself, not eat at all and drink a lot. Not only that but she is only pooping our clear liquid. We are wondering if it...
Hello,
I am a first time duck owner. I currently have an almost two week old Rouen duckling. Earlier today she was playing around and when we went to check on her she started to drink a lot of water, not eat and is not acting herself. We are not sure what is going on and any help would be great!.
Hello,
I apologize if this get confusing. This is my first time posting on here. Anyways I had a chick yesterday that became very weak in his legs (he is almost 2 weeks) He was leaning on one side and we might’ve thought it was possibly something with the tendon. We put him in a little makeshift...
