I dont know what to do for this baby. She cant get off her back and when we roll her back around within a few seconds later she ends up on her back again! Her little legs seem fine and she's kicking around trying to flip over, I feel so helpless not being able to help her.. has anyone else...
UPDATE: baby hatched just a few minutes ago. It looks very tired and isn't doing much moving, just laying under mommas wing and chirping some. Hoping baby will be ok..
One of my hens just hatched four eggs in the last week. Two survived, and today there is another baby on the way. Only thing is she looks stuck, one wing out and you can only see one side of its face and you can hear it chirping loudly. Its been a few hours that she's been in this position, now...
Yes. I kept her seperate from the rest for a couple of weeks and then slowly started letting them all out together but still kept her seperate from the rest for a little while longer at night. Eventually they just stopped messing with her, unless they're all in the pin for too long together then...
Could it be that my ducks are loosing feathers due to low calcium? Im feeding them chicken feed (recommended by ts worker). Should i just switch them to flock raiser?
By the way I believe they're all drakes, not sure that would make a difference on anything..
So sorry juat now saw this. I did actually figure out what it was, some of the other girls were plucking her tail feathers and then the other girls would mess with her until they caused severe bleeding. Im assuming because she was different from the rest. Anyway all i did was clean it with...
Thank you for that. I had no clue about that one. Def going to check the temp right now.. And also that's a relief to know that I don't have to be so worried about the umbilical lol
:idunnodon't know what to do, baby still has umbilical attached. Baby was born @4 a.m. Sunday morning. Dried. & as we were moving it to brooder we realised the umbilical is completely dried but still stuck on. We've already had to clean vent for pasty butt once today and was a little nervous...
Just noticed this baby covered in blood a little earlier. I brought her inside cleanrd her and separated her from the rest of the babies. Now she's bleeding again. What should I put on her to stop the bleeding?
I have raised different breed chicken. But I honestly do not remember any of them looking this bare! Should I be worried? Or is this normal for leghorn? Only a few of them don't have bare spots...
First off can someone tell me what breed he may be... I've searched everywhere but I'm not so sure, he's pretty small and already going on a year old :hmm
Second,he started off as a very well behaved young roo and very protective of his girls.. as he got older he stopped letting my kids and...
Well thanks for clarifying that, so then I actually have One Rooster & two Cockerels, both much larger than my rooster. Two laying hens as of right now the other six have not layed yet. Feeders two, one runs from one end to the other in the coop and then a regular feeder on the opposite side...
Not exactly sure, but with these high winds we had a few days ago parts of the back of their coop came off and we temporarily covered it with a tarp, so i know it had to have got cold in there for them..
So I went out this morning to let my flock out & when then ran to me I noticed these black spots on only the roosters. First time going through this, and I'm so lost as far as what to do. I've been trying to do research all day, but nothing like asking you all for advice. They are all being...
