Injured Hen
We noticed today our one hen is limping and her right wing is hanging low. We brought her into our basement to separate and help her heal. Any suggestions on how we can help her healing process?

Help - our Duck has been on egg for 35 days
Hi Miss Lydia - we do have a couple drakes. Are you able to tell me though if it's normal for the egg to turn a color (grey) when getting close to hatch or in your opinion does that sound like the egg may be rotten? I've never had ducks before so I'm pretty clueless. I've never done the... -

Help - our Duck has been on egg for 35 days
hello - we are having our first duck on an egg she is a Muscovy and she’s been on the egg for 35 days. I noticed tonight the egg is grey. Does that mean the egg is going bad? This seems pretty long time for her to be on this egg and it not hatch. Help!! -

Integrating young Rooster with flock of 4 hens
Hello - we have 4 hens that were born in the spring of this year and all get along very nicely. We had a rooster born in August that also lives in the coop with the hens.

Duck's chest seems swollen - need advice
Oh wow - I didn't think of too much mating...aww poor girl. So are you thinking possibly an egg is stuck and she's having a hard time laying it? Sorry - unfortunately I am pretty clueless when it comes to ducks. This is actually my neighbors ducks but we are the ones that feed them (duck &... -
Duck's chest seems swollen - need advice
If you are looking straight at her - it's the chest area closest to the ground. She is one year old. She is free range and there are two other ducks and 2 African geese...they all hang out together. She has Layed but not sure she's Layed recently. I don't think she could of eaten anything... -
Duck's chest seems swollen - need advice
We have a white duck (sorry don't know the breed) and it seems like her chest is swollen. I'm not sure if I should be concerned or not. She hasn't seemed like herself lately. She seems to be a little less energetic. Any advice or comments is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
