    A few duck questions for a duck newbie

    Oh they are super cute and I have heard they are great fly catchers. And yes I hope you got 2 girls too because my boy is such a butthead. Although they were cute tonight, they knew it was bedtime when I went out there and they got out of their pond and went and got in their bed on their own : )...

    Another new chick, another question

    My little chick did not make it but I thank you both for all your help. With your help/advice I did everything I could for him but it just wasn't meant to be I guess. I have just cried and cried : ( but he did have 12 siblings hatch that are extremely healthy, I just wish I had been able to save...

    Another new chick, another question

    I did give him a little yolk earlier and he seemed to like it. He is not interested in food though. I mushed up some chick feed with electrolyte and dropped a tiny bit into him and he didn't do well with it. H looks worse now actually. Also someone posted about using vetericyn, what do you think...

    Another new chick, another question

    Thank you for the advice! I actually have something similar to vet wrap here but I am wondering how helpful do you think it would be? My chick hatched a day and a half ago and he still has alot of that blob. I can't and will not cull him : ( but I do really want him to survive. Also I have been...

    Another new chick, another question

    I have been giving him half water and half electrolyte in a dropper. He loses his balance when he looks down because of his toes not being straight yet so I was thinking about getting him a nipple type water. But I will work hard on getting regular food into him today. The yolk protrusion seems...

    A few duck questions for a duck newbie

    Well, what I read is a female will quack and a male will not. I don't know how true that is but when mine were 3 months old we chased them and they were mad but only 1 quacked. So we kept a watch out and sure enough the one who quaked was the female. She just started laying eggs this week. The...

    A few duck questions for a duck newbie

    Yes my male is the one who tends to go after my chickens. I think 2 females would have been better. Also my ducks are Pekin ducks and are fine with my full size hens and my bantams are the ones they bully. I just reread your thread and wanted to add that. You of course can always try it out and...

    Another new chick, another question

    The one I bought says do not mix with water but straight electrolyte just seems strong for a tiny chick? I don't know. The navel is looking a tiny bit better, the chick hasn't pooped at all though, at least not that I can tell. Of course he also hasn't eaten either but still seems perky...

    Another new chick, another question

    Ok. I went out, got those things and cleaned the chicks box, it has been alone already so that is good, I cleaned the wound, and mixed some electrolyte solution with water. I wasn't sure if I should dilute it or feed it straight but at least it has a little in it now. Please let me know about...

    Another new chick, another question

    I had them in a little giant incubator (again, long story short I found a huge clutch of eggs the mom was pecking to death as they hatched so the whole incubator set up was rushed/last minute and so far I have 12 healthy chicks and this guy) and whatever the fluid was, there was enough to turn...

    Another new chick, another question

    Absolutely! Thank you so much for your help! Also what do you think about the chicks release last night of the green/brown fluid in the incubator? The only other chick I have had release fluid like that died. He[/IMG]re are some better pics of his protrusion. Any advice is appreciated, I really...

    Another new chick, another question

    Ok when I posted last night it was hard for me to see exactly what it was in the incubator but he survived the night and here is a picture. Not a great one but it is like a round red ball of swollen flesh and it is right between his legs. He has his but in the air with it sticking up since he...

    Chick hatching with brown and green crust

    Hurt Chick

    Ok, that same thing happened to me July 2 only it was worse, I had a similar one who had 1 eye and 1 ear pecked till both were bloody and swollen. I actually thought it's eye was missing when I brought him inside. I just put him under a heat lamp (don't overheat of course) with a little bit of...
