    Young call duck not waterproof!

    Hello everyone. It's been a while since I have posted anything but I've mostly been reading. I have 9, 5 month old (they look full grown) call ducks. I also have 8 that are all over a year old-One of my older hens hatched the newer 9 this past July. All are healthy and rambunctious, except...

    Loss of eye? [graphic pics!]

    So the little guy has been doing alright until I noticed more yellow crud in his eye this morning. Additionally, his "ear" and "nostril" on that same side are both hard and quite swollen. Of course, I can't see into the ear, but you can see in the photo that his beak appears completely blocked...

    Loss of eye? [graphic pics!]

    Well... After using the chlorhex and Terramycin on the eye, as well as keeping him on antibiotic for a week, the infection has subsided and tho the actual eyeball appears to be gone, the remaining tissues are looking healthy. He was happy to be put back in general population and I'm keeping a...

    Loss of eye? [graphic pics!]

    Oh... Sorry I hit the submit button too soon... I have several antibiotics on hand including the terravet, durmycin, Speclinx 50, Tylan 50 and Tylan 200... As well as penicillin (we have horses, pigs, dogs, chickens, turkeys and quail), so I have a pretty good assortment to choose from. That...

    Loss of eye? [graphic pics!]

    Thank you, MrsB! I will be sure to get some chlorhex tomorrow and get his eye, or what's left of it, taken care of. I think he was doing pretty well seeing one eyed prior to this... But I have to say that was one of the nastiest things I think I've ever seen and the audible popping sound when...

    Loss of eye? [graphic pics!]

    I discovered my most elusive and favorite spangled banty rooster with a nasty infection in his eye. He had lost the sight in the eye about a year ago after having been pecked by one of our full sized hens. Once I picked him up, of course I felt awful because it was clear he was pretty...

    Sick Banty Hen

    My hubby found our 14 month old banty hen under the ramp going into the main chicken coop 2 nights ago. She couldn't/wouldn't get up and when he picked her up, she had a large scrape across the top and side of one foot. It was a little bloody, but her leg and foot looked otherwise ok once I...

    Curled toes... With shoes on

    Well, thank you to those who responded with such great information. However, I found the little guy deceased in the brooder this morning. My husband and I agree he probably wasn't meant to make it out of the egg and had something else going on that we couldn't have known about or fixed. Of...

    Curled toes... With shoes on

    His "ankle" looks a bit "thick".... The other foot looks straight and normal.

    Curled toes... With shoes on

    Thank you. I'd considered a chick chair for this little guy, but he seems to be getting around ok, despite walking on the curled up toes. One day in the shoes straightened a crooked toe on the other foot, so I'm leaning back toward some type of shoe, but I think it would have to be done slowly...

    Curled toes... With shoes on

    The shoes didn't last long and mostly got pecked off, so I removed what was left of the, this morning. It is apparent now the little guy is hurting and doesn't move around too much. Here's a few photos. Perhaps someone can give me some other ideas. Thanks again!!

    Curled toes... With shoes on

    I couldn't find pipecleaners, so I cut small, almost guitar-pick shaped pieces of an old sour cream container lid (very thin plastic) then I used pieces (the ends) of fabric band aids and small pieces of paper medical tape to hold the toes in place. The toes look in place to me and aside from...

    Curled toes... With shoes on

    Hello all. I have a small chick that we think was a day or two overdue, had to be helped from his egg and has curled toes on one foot. I've read tons and tons of info over the last few days and decided to try a pair of "shoes" on him to uncurl the toes and straighten one on the other foot...

    Came home after having been gone 3 hours yesterday and found another dead bird. Now my DH is starting to get on board with having a necropsy done.
