Thank you all... I wish I had stayed up and held her now. It's so hard for me to lose them. With all the other things they can get, I just dont understand why reproductive problems have to be a thing. And then there is this crazy heat. Makes me want to install an air conditioner in the coop lol.
Well, my ducks did not like the dog food but my organic chickens raced to get in the food! I was amazed! My husband grinds corn for a mill less than a mile away. They grind corn for the moonshine distillers here. The corn is from an heirloom seed and organically grown. I have been mixing some of...
She died the next morning making me wish I had not bathed her or put my finger up her. Maybe I caused her to die :( I just hate it so badly losing any of them :( Thank you all who tried to help me.
Thank you so much. She is so weak I could hardly get her to take water as I gave it to her by syringe. Breaks my heart so much. I am still hopeful though. Thanks for the information, I appreciate it!
I just checked her vent and I could see some yellow dried up stuff I thought I had washed off while bathing her. When I stuck my finger in her vent, moved it around to see if I could find an egg and there was none. I took my finger out and Yellow slimy stuff came out. So what would that be? It...
ed egg and a little wet chicken feed? She needs water first, and electrolytes or Gatorade would be good.
I haven't been able to get her to eat or drink since I bathed her. She was trying to drink this morning. I wish I had left her alone now. There was nothing in her vent. I tried to give...
I gave her a bath in Palmolive dish soap and used a blow dryer to set her. She went to sleep as I did this but later I moved her outside. There isn't anything in the crop. To be honest she felt hot there. I meant to mention my flock is raised on Natures Best Orangic Feed. They are fully free...
Hahaha isn't that the truth though. By chance do you have a suggestion on what I can feed them? I had them spoiled on green beans, corn and crumbles but now that I wint be getting eggs from them I need to feed them something else as my flock is on organic feed. Thanks for the help!
Thank you all so much. For now, the ducks are in the chicken tractor which is super large and the chickens are free ranging until I can get the tuna built. Thanks so much, I will probably keep them but when is mating season over already? Does it last long? Want to hear.something funny? Those...
Here is a photo of her. She slept in my room last night so I could keep an eye on her. I had 1 other chicken act like this before but got ok. I'm not sure if she is laying nor not but she hasn't pooped all night :( I'm not sure how to check her but she looked ok from behind.
Hello-
Just curious how your chicken is doing. I have one that seems sick now too. It's been brutally hot here so may be from the heat. I left my son over the weekend with them while I went to visit my relatives. All the chickens were fine before I left. It just wants to lay. Her comb looks pale...
Hello yall- I for some reason all along thought my ducks were going to be females. Well, no such luck! All Drakes with the curly feather :( I have 13 chickens and I started off wanting just chickens but my kid and grand kid wanted ducks so I got them without knowing much. The problem is, my...
I dont believe either...it was just a hard loss. Our first Passover Seder... it just felt very strange. It never happened when we were home :( I'm looking forward to many wonderful days with my new chicks and ducklings :)
