Thats actually a really big reason I held off on asking for advise about them since alot of what I read did say it could take a few weeks depending on how bad they were. the moment I found them I separated all 3 from the flock and I actually discard all 3 eggs mostly because of there being...
I will try tonight once I change her bandages. All 3 had both feet with scabs 2 had very swelled and infected feet one still has the infection the other has been healing up very well. 2 of the 3 hens feet have healed to the point of not needing bandages on one foot each. We had to extract the...
I have 3 lefhorn hens that got bumble foot they have been healing slowly but surely but its been almost a month and the one still has signs of infection I was hoping to get some home remedie ideas to try before I contact a vet for antibiotics. She was starting to get better but I just noticed...
Hello all, my hens are almost to laying age (12 weeks old at the moment I have about 20 hens but of different breeds some are said to start laying as early as 14 weeks) my question is I've read once they start to lay they need switched to layer feed but only then same goes for oyster shells...
I also have muscovy ducks I hatched out 1 would throw its head back or topple over I was suggested off here to get electrolytes asap into it and withing a few days it was doing much better. At just over 2 yrs old now "tipsy" still has health issues arise so I try to keep the powder on hand at...

Shes alive just seems slower then the others and stays to her self but she does eat and drink and I haven't noticed her limping anymore but just seems like she stays away
He finally looks better today and ate today not as spunky as usual but a good bit better. So I'm still not sure what went wrong but just glad to see a slight improvement.
Sorry I was a bit frantic on trying to figure out what was wrong and couldn't remember the exact name for the area. Thank you for the correction. I ment the crop area.
So I picked my duck up to check it over on making sure I wasnt missing injuries and it just had a bunch of water come out its mouth so I set it down to make sure it was ok and then I picked it back up to put it back in the coop and it had a bunch more come up am I missing something????
I have a 2 yr old muscovy duck that was completely fine yesterday today its neck is stiff and it seems pretty low on energy and strength its wings are not as neatly tucked as well which was the give away somethings wrong I also noticed it seems a little airy around its gizzard area could it be a...
I have a baby chick (just a little over 3 weeks old now) that I noticed limp a little when I took them all out for their first outing. It was only flat grassy area so nothing that would be the cause of a injury. But it fell asleep on my flip flop (I'll insert a picture) and when it got up that's...
Shes new to having ducks and chickens so this was all new to her and we just had super high winds and snow the past 2 days so she asked me to take them in since I raised my 4 muscovy but that was 3 yrs ago I hatched them and never had any look like these
