yay!!! That's fantastic!!!! Glad things worked out for her and you. If you notice she's having issues with eggs again push the calcium!!

For some reason I can't get a picture to load so yall can see him but its almost black with black feet and bill

Ok so I've got a mallard hen, a pekin hen and then this little thing here. All of the TSC ducks were to be mallard but I'm not so sure this one isn't a chocolate runner??? Any suggestions they are 10 weeks old now

Everything in the last post is correct. Even after trying the warm baths, the calcium, and sitting her in a dark quiet corner or room and still no egg I would suggest feeling around her stomach for a hard mass, if there's one there give her a couple of tums and sit her back in her quiet room and...

You might do an exam on her to make sure shes not egg bound. Is she new to laying?

How long do you need to set the refrigerated eggs out before putting them under a broody hen? I know its to room temp but do they need to be out 12 hours?

Ok so I've got a question. I bought three ducks in February and was told two of them were khaki Campbell's and the other was a white pekin which is but my "kcs" look more like chocolate runners. They stand straight up when they walk around and their feathers coming in are very very dark. Any...

oh ok lol duh! Boy that was a blonde moment if I've ever had one!! I just thought with her passing there was a specific reason why she had to be kept In the freezer.

Hey guys I started this thread because there are so many swap threads but they are so far away. So in hopes that we can bring swaps to Arkansas and the locals wont have to search as hard to find what they want or travel near as far to get the perfect feather baby. Or have to pay as high of a...

ok so curiosity has gotten the best of me and I must ask. Why do you have to keep her in the freezer till may? I've never heard of such before.

oh no I was hoping for a good outcome. So sorry you lost your girl. Bless her. I would go ahead and start the others on antibiotics now just to be on the safe side and to get a head start. If it cocci it will wipe out the rest of the flock quickly.

I lost mine to cocci. The only difference was the bloody awful smelling stools. Has the vet said what he/she thinks is wrong with your girl? I sure hope she can be saved and make it through this. Poor baby. Its amazing how you get attached to your feather babies

. I have the same thing going on with a hen of mine except she has bubbles in her right eye and only the right eye. It started before winter and I got some duramiacin and mixed in the water to treat her and the whole flock just in case and it didn't help her at all. What is the next step I...

It looks to be cocci. I had a few chicks who were strong and healthy and then all of a sudden they started hunching up like your girl. They get that "roach" look and their feathers puff out as if they are cold. See if she will drink some Gatorade or pedialyte to try and get some electrolytes in...

. Thank you for the information. Its been years since I've raised chickens and I do mean years (16 years old)with my parents and now I'm doing the same with my little family. My little girl really enjoys the chickens and we have a few ducklings she just loves. We have 6 new chicks we are raising...

. I have two golden sex links one bb red bantam and a buff cochin. All are approaching two years old but my cochin has only laid me one egg the whole time we've had her and my bantam will lay when the weather gets warm and so will one of my s.l.,they have a 16x20 coop along with a 14x16 run and...

@@puddin fluff I must have some freeloading chickens cause mine quit laying and wont go broody no matter how many times I try to fake a nest for them. The hens are just going on two years old

they are amazing in a pressure cooker! We just done a barred rock roo that was aggressive to my hens and other roos so we made a meal out of him and put him in a crock. We were then given a roo to cook and we done him up like a turkey so so good!
