Hey I am happy to know she (July) is on a road of recovery. I tried next to the other chickens of course I was there to rescue her. Darn it! Next I bring her in so she can crawl in the sunroom. She hobbled over. So that works. She is still eating and drinking. Good sign. When its a warm day I...
I have to apologize to you Barbara. I was looking at the posts on my cell phone which didn't show most of the sling pic you posted. But thank you for the extra information. I will update my profile and add my location. Thank you again
Oh my. Ok well I knew something is wrong. I don't want to believe it. But I have been working with her. I am having a problem about the sling. Not sure I understand how to make it by0 picture shown. Sounds like a good idea though. Would like more info on this. As far as probiotics and tormented...
Ok I made a video but its around 4 minutes long. In downloading it, its too long and it won't post. So is there a time limit for this website? Or is there another place I could upload a file? I would appreciate a response. Thank you.
My chicken July, has some kind of leg feet problem that I just can't figure out. I have dealt with leg injures with chickens and ducks. The problems usually take care of its self. I found July (almost a year) in February in the nesting area instead of the night time perch. I knew something wrong...
I tried a splint and to cover his leg joint where it is using to move around. I am just not familiar or experienced enough with moving a ligament or anything else that may hurt him. I cringe when I took the splint off because he/she was peeping in pain. I am not sure I can manage keeping the...
Not sure how to fix it. I have been putting a splint to try and straighting out however its not working. Seems useless to fix otherwise it may need amputation. Which funds I can't afford.
Maybe I missed it looking at the link but I was actually looking for duckling feet/leg issues. I realize that chics and ducklings are somewhat similar. But it would be nice to see images. I will keep researching. Thank you.
Just born today. Noticed right leg not extending down. Walking on upper right leg. I have read somethings on deformities of duck legs. Just wanted other opinions on what I could do with home remedy. Pics attached. It appears to be getting sore. Someone suggested a foam splint? Not sure what to...
Ok what about the beak color? Maybe he is in slow growth but it is strange. He doesn't full drake. And doesn't mate at all. Sits in nesting area like the hens.
I have an issue with one of my Mallards. Supposively when I purchased my Mallards two years ago I had ordered sexed three females and one drake. About 8 months ago, I noticed that one of my females was beginning to show signs of a drake. Curly tail feathers and a tint of green on the crown but...
Ok thanks for this info. 1st this time, Lilly's skin in around the wound has hardened. Rough and hard. Thinking it is scabbing of skin? Will this fall of on its own and grow new skin? Just not sure. How long after a injury will she show signs of getting better. She seems better but u am waiting...
