Just an update: she was doing just fine yesterday and back to normal. Thank you all for easing this duck mama's heart!

Considering her age strange eggs weren't terribly unexpected, but this was definitely different than what I had ever seen. She is up and moving but doesn't seem to love moving around so I am worried she still has something going on. She does not let me put my hands on her without a fuss so I...

No she did not lay yesterday (that I have found....it's almost like an Easter egg hunt for the duck eggs on a regular basis). My ducks have been very slow to lay so far this year, which I suspect is due to older age. She forages daily but also has access to layer pellets and crushed oyster...

Hi all! I am looking for some insight regarding an egg my 5 year old Cayuga duck just laid. I noticed she was acting a little lethargic when I went to let the birds out of the run and into the yard, but I felt like she may be working on laying an egg. I watched her for a while and nothing. I...

Ten chicks, He has his leg straight behind him. Fracture is possible, but I don't really see any signs that indicate so. He will not put any weight on this one leg, or curl his toes up. He has been eating, at least the mealworms we put out for treats. He has been pooping. Just found a pile...

I have a RIR rooster that is approximately a year old. I have had him since he was about 2-3 months old. He has been healthy, had no major problems but he has been picking on one of my hens. Two days ago we moved him out of the coop with the hens to let them rest. He was fine until this...
