you can also try rolled oats, shredded carrots, and squash. feeder bugs like meal worms or roaches, these can be expensive. best to grown your own.

Try some duramycin 10 or tylan 50, I know its not natural but it may be the only thing that will help.

I got a normal egg on the 16th and 2 more normal eggs today (17th). I hadn't locked them up yet either, searched around for poo and it all looked pretty normal, there were a couple of watery white poos though.

I cant think of anything toxic that could be around. I will look around though. I will keep them confined to the coop and run, hopefully i will notice something

I hope it is a nutrition problem, but since they eat a lot, it shouldn't be. I don't want to believe it, but i know deep down its IB. I read there's nothing that can be done about it, you can only get rid of your flock and disinfect everything, and that the disease should die within with a few...

I wasn't having any eggs problems until January. I live in SE TX and the winters are usually mild, but this time around it gets to the low 30's and it has been rainy and windy. I only have 4 pullets and they are 8 months. They are also laying a lot less, last month i was getting 3 or 4 eggs a...

They look like saddle feathers to me, maybe they aren't though...

I used pine shavings before with no prob. I now use dry leaves, they're free and they work great, better than chopped straw and pine shavings. I was thinking of switching to sand, as soon as i feel like going to find some.

Maybe get some fake eggs and make a big clutch in a nest box or wherever you want the broody at and hope she sits on them.

anyway you can get anyone to help you get the food, like bring you or go pick it up or loan money? how many ducks do you have? try oatmeal/rolled oats, plain "healthy" cereals you could probably even cook some dry beans and feed them those, you can feed them any veggies.

I think it is mold. Do you have high humidity and cool weather? Is the feeder in an area where there is no or very little air flow? Those conditions are perfect for mold growth.

Maybe the shorter days just messed up their schedule or something. I hope someone can help you, i have no idea. Mine stay out a little after dark, but they are inside by the time i go to lock up, sometimes 1 or 2 take their time going in, even though everyone else is roosting already.

those are pin feathers, she is molting, her new feathers will grow from those crusty things. All normal, dont worry!

I think mixed breeds, not sure what breeds were mixed. Looks like all males, except the black one looks to be a girl. They are pretty! OK edit, I looked around and I think you have Easter egger mixes. If you could ask the friend what chickens they have, people on here could probably narrow it...

i just read poor blood flow due to heart or liver failure, etc could have caused it. the organ failure could've been cause by genetic issues or he ate something poisonous. im sure there are a few other things that could have caused it, have to keep searching

maybe frostbite? it can cause a deadly infection
