I’m watching him right now, he still seems to lean forward but he’s able to eat properly; I’ve got yet to see him drink but I’m confident in him healing
He’s been inside with a friend in the hospital tub and I’ve been spoon feeding him a mix of water, nutri-drench and baby chicken food! His health has been improving and his friend, a hen who he’s never separate from, I think is helping him :) she keeps him company and he will often start or...
Are all wry neck conditions like that/are they all specifically in that position?? That one has its head turned outwards but Popcorn is just leaning forward with his head upside down in a way that has his beak turned toward himself instead of away— might that mean he has a different condition or...
I’ll see if I can get a pic of it when my mom comes home so I can get a good hold of him and a good pic as well; as of when it was checked it seemed empty and it was about 5:30-6 pm so I’d guess he hasn’t eaten much today, my poor boy :( and thank you for your advice!!!
I have a silkie rooster who’s maybe half a year old now, and today when I went into the coop he was acting strangely— he seemed to be trying to preen his chest aggressively, but there’s nothing wrong on the outside of his chest. I noticed he had poop in his eye so I brought him in to flush it...
she hasn’t made any that looked like that since Wednesday during the day and that’s why I haven’t gotten any photos— she might have gotten better but if I see it again I’ll add an image!!
I’m in southern Wisconsin so we’ve been dealing with snow here and there and it’s been below freezing so the birds have mostly been kept inside; the floor is sand in the main area and expansion and it’s been kind of muddy-ish and I’m not sure if that’s due to humidity in the coop or the bird...
Hi again- one of my ducks seems to have recently had a change in stool consistency. It’s solid and white, honestly it seems like whipped cream except more solid. Does it only mean she needs to drink more water, or could it be a sign of a worse health issue? And why might she not be drinking...
I’ve not been able to find anything about this online, but my adult male Pekin who is healthy and normally sized and can make the normal male duck noise as well will sometimes make a weird noise that I can only describe as a “honk”. He opens his bill wider for the honk and it sounds almost like...
My mom feeds them a mixture, currently, of oats and some other types of food, some grainy thing and corn. I’m not exactly sure what it is but I trust she does her homework I’m the bird feed
Thank you all for your responses!! I don’t believe the feed is medicated, and they all seem to be doing well at the moment! I’m sorry for the super late reply, it’s been busy with school and stuff. I’ve kept an eye on them though, and I can assure everyone that they are okay :)
i recently became concerned about one of my newer ducklings, which i named Frank. We bought her and two others (All Pekins) from the local farm store in early May this year (2019, specifying just in case) and moved them out into the coop in late May, and we keep new birds in a little “jail”...
