We rescued a large speaking with severe bumblefoot. We are looking for preventive measures. It cost $700 to have a bumper put treated. I'm open to any suggestions and wondering if duck booties will work.
Should I let my duck wear booties all the time? We rescued Snowball. She came with severe bumblefoot...$700 worth. I am looking for a preventative method to prevent more bumbles.
4 days ago I noticed that something was hanging out of my ducks mouth. I thought it was a worm. When I looked closer I saw that it was her gum. I put her in quarantine and used some colloidal silver on it. I repeated morning and night and it's been 4 days now. The swelling hasn't gone down...
Okay I came out to fill up the swimming pools and one of my duck was not moving I went to lift her up and she did not run away so that was unusual. When I left it her up and tried to set her on her feet they collapsed underneath her and her body lunch forward and she put her wings out and she...
Top is a couple of weeks ago. Bottom is today. I'm pretty sure it's a break. The swelling is going down. She's been wrapped with prid going on two weeks now and no infection has come out. She is walking better. Thoughts?

My chicken's foot pad is split from a feral cat attack. I gave her an Epsom salt bath. Should I neosporin it and use a light wrap to hold it together or let it grow back normally? She is in quarantine.
I have a weak chick. I am giving her nutritional supplement and water every 20 min. I have given her a few bites of cooked egg yolk. When I put her back in the brooder she stands a bit then lays over. As long as she's in my bra, she chirps. I want to put her in a bandana around my neck so I can...

Hi. I have a 7 to 8mo male Khaki Campbell. I have 12 2 to 3mo old male and female Khakis. How should I introduce? The boy wants to mate every single baby within seconds of putting them together.
Bubba had a black spot and the ruthless girls picked at it till they ripped a hole. We used peroxide and topical antibiotics. The hanging piece has form a scabbed tip. I read that it is ok to snip the hanging piece. It doesn't seem to be healing really fast. I fret infection. He is in...
The duckling was fine. I moved it to the brooder and went back to check and a red sac came out and seems to be leaking yolk? I gave nutri supplement. Put a moist piece of paper towel over and put in a container on paper towel. Is otherwise chirping and moving
I thought today was the day that I was supposed to move the four duck eggs to the hatching incubator. I put them in the hatching incubator without weighing them because they were chirping and when I got them all in there I noticed that they had already pipped. I put them air cell up. A slight...
