In the past week three of my hens developed bumble foot, we are soaking all their feet in epsom salt, and pulled off the scab + got out gunk out of one, but it’s taking a lot of time to care for all three and I have no idea why so many got it at the same time! Our roosts or really smooth so they...

I noticed a few days ago one of my hens had a little limp, since the live in a field down past our house I don’t see them most of the day like I used to, so I forgot to check her foot after I took care of all the animals. I did check this morning and noticed a swelling spot on two of her toes...

One is gray, has an oddly long tail, and seems to be barred, with yellow feet and a couple dark scales. The other is gray with a tuft on her head, with gray/green feet. They should be Olive Eggers, Saphire Eggers, Bluebell Eggers and there may have been another breed that I’m not...

Picked two chicks out of a colored egg laying mix, hoping for them to be olive Eggers, but they look different from each other. 2 weeks old, what do you guys think? One is completely gray with darker gray scales on legs, and gray on comb and beak. The other Is gray with white spot on head and...

I saw these ducklings at TSC and wanted to know their breed (they didn’t know) thank you in advance!

A week ago when I came In morning to let my 7wk old chicks out of their coop, one of my Cochins was laying on the ground, dead. She looked completely fine except her neck was damp, like something swallowed it and spit it out. Day after that we found a black rat snake in the coop and guessed it...

I noticed my 7wk old chicks seemed to have pink and red coloring in their other wise normal poop. What is this? Bad? How do I fix it? Sorry for gross post :gig

I have 10, 6 week old chicks that have been in a brooder box with a heat plate(I haven’t seen them using it for the past week) since we got them (except for outings in the yard). I was hoping to move them out to our coop (no outlets for heating) The temps have been lows 63 at night-and 80s...

I have a khaki Campbell duck who built herself a lovey nest, and she’s sitting on her eggs but they aren’t fertile...I’m wondering if I’d be able to buy fertil eggs and put them under her, so she’d hatch them. I didn’t want to get more ducks or chickens, maybe something else like peafowel...

I got an assortment of 8 female chicks from mypetchicken, and two male Cochins. One of the Wyandottes looks like a boy, and one of the Cochins looks like a girl! Please tell me I’m wrong They are young so time will tell, but comb development is making me second guess their gender..first two are...

Hello everyone! I was hoping to figure out what breed my duckling is. She’s ten weeks old, bought her as a khaki Campbell (definitely not) but then was told maybe blue Swedish (when she was a baby, she had the yellow bib fuzz)..now I’m unsure, as she has no bib whatsoever, the only white she has...

I have ten chicks that are all 1 week today. I was curious what the temperature had to be in order to let them play in the yard for a few minutes? I have a dog crate with no bottom so I could set it in the grass, and since we have outlets on our front porch, I can bring their heat plate out too...

I ordered 9 baby chicks that should arrive in about a week. I’m going to use a big cardboard box to keep them in(and keep adding on as they get bigger), so I wanted to ask what heat sources you all have used that are safer than the traditional heat lamp? (which I used for my first set of chicks...

khaki Campbell duck has bubbly foam coming from her eye, and the skin around it is kind of raw looking. She has no symptoms of a respiratory infection, acts completely normal besides the eye. She always has acces to running clean water deep enough for her head to go completely under. I saw one...

I’m trying to figure out the gender of my four week old Blue Swedish duckling, Poppy, by voice sexing. Poppy used to just peep, but now her voice sounds like she’s in the verge of a quack/honk noise, so I’d think girl, but it also has partial whistle to it, like it’s a boy...any idea how to...

I recently got a duckling, who is 3 weeks old, and I suspect she’s a blue Swedish but I’m not sure, as I was told she was a Khaki Campbell...can you post pictures of your juvenile/growing Swedish ducklings? Thanks! Here’s a picture of her 1 week old.

my Khaki Campbell duck has done this twice now...she’ll be swimming in the creek, and then stop and gets all dazed and waddles really slow with her butt almost dragging on the ground, and then splays her wings out and lays down. I’ve never seen this before and have no clue what it is. Please help!

my Khaki Campbell duck was taking a swim when out of no where her leg started shaking a lot, and she stumbled around for a second with her wings out and lopsided, and she started squatting as if she was trying to lay an egg, and then went right back to normal like nothing happend. She layed an...

hello everyone. I’m curious to know what breed this duckling is..I thought Khaki Campbell since she’s mostly brown, but she got a yellowish chest and a little yellow line coming off the corner of her eyes. Would this be a mix of breeds? Also, any name suggestions? Thanks.

Hello everyone. My 4 day old duckling seems to be gagging and swallowing, choking on salavia, what do I do?? Mama duck seems to be distressed..
