Hi! This is my first set of ducks and when I looked into the baby pen she was running weird. Upon further inspection, it’s as if she broke her leg. Is there anything we can do for her? She’s about 3 days old. I can try and get a video if that’s more helpful. I’ve attached pictures of her leg and...

I'm trying to figure out what this is--I've bathed her twice and poor bum is red and bare under all the diarrhea. Looks like regular color diarrhea but today I see more of the white. I have ordered Corid and Nystatin just wondering what I do next here. Today she is visibly not well, comb is...

Ok, I researched the butt out of Golden Comets because I wanted to make sure I got good temperament girls to go in with my 1 Barred Rock and 2 Ameraucanas--little did I know I could get a surprise 2nd gen red roo. Please tell me this isn't a Roo!!!! He/She is the sweetest one and I've of course...

Helllooooo BYC'ers! So, Dorothy my 1 year old Barred Rock with the respiratory issues is still hanging in there. If you remember I took her to doc who gave her a dose of antibiotics a month ago and he suspected it was pneumonia. Well, she still has the "cough" where she gasps for air. Other...

So last week my Barred Rock, Dorothy, was diagnosed with pneumonia--she's on Bactrim twice a day and under a heat lamp in a dog crate in our garage. Today's high is near the 50s here in VA and she's starting to look a lil depressed. I'm curious how long you guys would isolate your sick girls...

I posted last night about my almost 1 Barred Rock and after monitoring her all night I have a better list of symptoms so maybe someone could help diagnose her for me. 1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.) Barred Rock-almost...

Forgive my ignorance on all chicken related things--I'm in a panic. I went to the coop/run today to check on my girls and while I was cleaning out the coop I could hear one making an almost cat sound--Very high pitch and like a squeak.(Of course I can't get a video of her doing it) As I observed...

Just curious, I have 2 Barred Rocks that have been laying eggs for about 3 weeks now and my Ameraucanas have yet to produce any. They're 5 months old, is that normal? Or should I be out looking for hidden nests?

I have 4 5 month old hens (2 Barred Rock, 2 Ameraucana) the 2 Barred Rocks are definitely the head girls, one more than the other, but both definitely have always run the show. We've had all 4 since they were 1 day old and they've lived together ever since. The 2 BR have started to lay eggs and...

Let me girls out around 7:30 AM this morning when I looked outside I saw the leader wasn't around. I found her in the coop in the egg laying room. She's been in there for about 45 minutes--I'm suspecting she's trying to lay her egg. Just curious how long do I let her sit in there until I get...

2 questions 1. The past few days when I have come home from work when I check in on my girls in their brooder they have gone dust bath crazy and kicked all their bedding into their water and feeder. It's to the point where I have to take everything out and refill the 5 qt water (with...
