They have.plenty of water. I don't think she has something stuck ... her cough was just random and now it happens more like it's progressively worse. the only Tylan antibiotic I can find around here is the injectable one. 1 feed store wants 80 dollars for the powder wow. I love mama but I...
Thanks for the information. I think I am going to try the Tylan powder as I don't think I can give her shots.. I'm kind of a chicken when it comes to those things. I really am trying to save her as she is a very sweet natured girl . I also read somewhere that she should be kept warm and not...
I originally posted this under diseases etc and someone told me to repost here instead..
.My female Cayuga Mama Peaches started to cough once in a while about two weeks ago. I thought nothing of it that maybe something was stuck like a piece of food or something. Tonight my husband informed me...
My female Cayuga Mama Peaches started to cough once in a while about two weeks ago. I thought nothing of it that maybe something was stuck like a piece of food or something. Tonight my husband informed me he was thinking about culling her to put her out of her misery because the cough is pretty...
Ok.. I've had issues with my ducks ,,,, momma flipped out and started to tear apart eggs. have had 2 successful hatches..4 deaths sadly.... this little one piped yesterday afternoon... husband got excited and started to help.. he wasn't ready. still has a thin vein visible I .have been...
We decided to euthanize the little one. His breathing was really labored and his little legs were sticking out straight and stiff. My husband is gonna use gas..that way he will just stay asleep. He hatched too early..his " belly button" went away today. :'(
I dont think hes gonna make it through the night.. if he does itll be a miracle. still wont take food even mash... Its heartbraking .... any last advice?
yeah... mama flipped out and started tearing apart eggs and attacking the first hatchling. We pulled the eggs inside with the baby...we've had two successful hatchings before this last one . I believe the room got too warm and he hatched with yolk still attached. He was almost out and stayed...
Last night he actually drank some pedialite by itself..not much but some. As i was holding him after i gave it some...we were on the floor he started to dab and seemed to b searching ...i tried to give it some feed but i guess it was so tired it fell asleep. He also hasnt had a bowl movement...
The duckling we had issues with is still alive. However, it hasn't eaten yet.. it hatched on 1st... with yolk attached. Yolk is gone.. area looks good. He sleeps a lot... drinks when I get it to... I was told to give it pedialite which I do by syringe . I keep it warm.. he chirps and...
Ok, I brought the eggs into the house after the mama started to tear them apart and attack the baby. I have successfully hatched two more ducklings, one is four days old and one is 2 days old as of today. One started to hatch yesterday, but unfortunately it bled bright red blood. I placed it...
What causes this? I mean she was very docile she was moving the eggs around and making sure they were all covered.... she was letting the baby climb all over her and sleep on top of her. She wouldn't leave the nest at all for almost two weeks or so. Maybe she went stir crazy . I wish I knew...
Thanks...
Sadly when I went out tonight to check on everyone, the mama was in the process of tearing apart an egg, luckily it wasn't fully formed yet. She then went after the duckling so I took her out of the nesting box . The remaining eggs are on the verge of hatching..one is actually rocking...
I have 4 Cayuga ducks, 2 male and 2 female. Needless to say, we have had three successful hatchings. Sadly only the first one is alive. It hatched 3 days ago. The second one hatched the 2 days ago but my daughter found it in the community water bowl, its stomach torn open. We thought it was the...
