I saw the oddest thing yesterday. one of my roosters was trying to breed one of my female ducks. is it possible for a chicken to fertilize a duck? i know it sounds crazy, but i really don't know.
i have a chicken who is laying soft shelled eggs. they are almost a leather consistency. as soon as she lays them they burst. what could this be caused from?
One of my female geese is sick. she staggers when she walks. she will fall forward with her legs behind her. i pick her up and she will walk again, but soon falls. is there anything i can do for her? what could it be?
i suck at hatching call ducks. i have about a 100% hatch rate with my rouens and chickens. I have tried making a small hole in the shell but the membrane get stucks to the baby which then causes a problem in itself. Hopefully someone will be able to give you an appropriate answer and maybe...
I to am an obsessive candler. I can not stand it. I have to look at my babies every day. I can't even leave them alone during lockdown. I convince myself that it is okay because I need to add water for the humidity. So therefore, I understand completely. I love those sweet, little fuzzy peeps.
take a regular sized bandaid and cut in in half. the bandage part is just the right distance for the space between the legs. wrap the adhesive apart around each leg. I have had success with this several times.
I have a male snowy call duck. Today I noticed something hanging from his back end. I am not sure whether or not it is his rectum or his penis that has prolapsed. it is constantly dripping. I picked him up and looked at it and it looked terrible. Is there anything I can do for him? Help:(
I think for one the dog is an excellent idea. I have six outside myself. Although, I do believe you would benefit from an electronic fence. I also read on an earlier post where someone was hanging flashing christmas lights.
help! i have a peacock chick who was one week old today. she is lethargic and has alot of crusty stuff on her tummy. i don't have a clue what to do for her.
over the last coupleof weeks i have had some little call ducks who was apparently just fine. they were up playing and eating. next thing you know they are dead. literally they are fine one minute and gone the next. does anyone have any idea what it could be?
Thanks! But sadly enough the little fellow didn't make it. I even tried putting the mush on my fingertip and tried to get him to take it from there. I would have loved him just the same. Thanks again!
i have a new pastel call duck which was hatched about 2 days ago who has a messes up bill. it looks almost like a cleft in humans. the right side of the bill appears to be normal. the lower bill is offset somewhat to the left. and on the upper side of the left part of it is missing. the...
Thank you so much. You have been extremely helpful and I truly appreciate it. I am changing their food. I will get back to you on how they are doing and on how the splint works. Thanks again!
I looked at my food and it is Purina Game Bird Chow (Growth and Plumage). It is what the girl at the feed store recommended. She says she has no idea what grower pellets are. The way it appears on the bag is that it is 30% protein which is way to much (I believe). I am learning and have come...
