I have recently got 50 white cornish. Ever since Sunday I have lost one each night totally 5. Some make a raspy noise / sneeze/ breathing heavy. They are a almost two week old. Was at tractor supply they told me to add medicated food and electrolytes. Started that yesterday late morning. Lost...
So I am thinking about raising 25 meat chickens this year for around 8-10 weeks. Was wondering what the best kind would be. I would be butchering them myself but was wondering what people charge for a pound or for a full chicken? Any advice would be great! Have raised egg laying hens for 5...
Sometimes a hawk will not be able to carry a full grown chicken so they eat what they can until they get scared. One time a hawk did that to mine, then another time took a head right off. Best thing that helped me with hawks was getting a goose. Whenever a hawk gets near my goose gets all the...
Hello I have a new chicken that is less then a year old who suddenly started not being able to walk on her one leg. She seemed to be getting around okay until past two days. She won't eat or drink and just lays there. Her poop color is green. What should I do?
I would say a Hawk did that especially if you have a tree. I've lost a couple of chickens to hawks, until I closed in their pen. Now I only let them free range 3 hrs before dark
Need Help! My muscovy duck is having the same issue she seemed fine two days ago and now today she barley walks. She has been eating and drinking. She is only one year old and three months ago I lost a muscovy to the same condition.
Hello, I am having an issue that has been affecting my flock. Some of their backs are completly missing feathers. Another problem I have is I have lost three chickens to a random disease, they start standing out by not moving much and sleeping and then they just stop walking and die. I want...
@misslydia thank you, was told too she'd be okay to stay with my two other females and one male. Wouldn't know how I could separate them since her nest is in the duck house where they lay eggs and sleep at night. Will watch carefully when they hatch
My duck is on her fourth week sitting on eggs but have noticed at her neck it's missing feathers. I'm assuming this is from the male but was wondering if this is normal?
My Call/mallard duck is finally sitting I think on 18 ages! She really has the nest built up and sometimes can barely see her in it. Was wondering when they hatch if i should get some chick feed and out that out for them or will she feed them?
Hello the past two days I've been letting my ducks eggs in their coop. today my mallard started to sit on the eggs. Was wondering if this is normal and if she'd hatch the eggs would the male kill them? He doesn't seem aggressive
Tonight when i went to put my ducks in i counted only four and could not find the fifth one. Until i saw her body laying near the path to the coop and then saw her whole body was intact but really chewed up at the belly and around the neck. but head was not ripped off. What would have done...
One of my khaki cambell ducks has an enlarged stomach that is making her hard to extend her neck or even bend it. Not sure if she is eating or drinking but this is going in day5. What should I do?
I have about 14 week old khaki cambell ducks and this morning they all seemed fine. Till around 5 I went up and the one duck just seems to keep it's neck tucked in and can't bend it down to eat. I got her to drink tonight and checked out her neck but no marks? What should I do? will she...
