    Duckling limping

    I came home this afternoon and one of my new ducklings is limping… anyone have any advice? I was able to pick it up and I couldn’t see anything obviously wrong with the leg. But clearly it’s hurting. They are 12 days old. Any advice welcome! Thank you in advance. I have attempted to attach a...

    Hen lethargic with hard belly

    My girls all lay together so I’m not entirely sure when her last egg was laid. But I do believe she is a black Orpington, we adopted her from a friends coworker who was getting rid of his flock, so I’m not certain of her age or many of her details. I have had her for two years now.

    Hen lethargic with hard belly

    I put a little B12 in her food earlier and I think she ate a little bit of that. It’s hard to tell though. She’s still alert but not standing up. Sort of using her wings to shuffle herself around. I have her staying in the bathtub in the house in case whatever she has is contagious and I will...

    Hen lethargic with hard belly

    Good morning community, I have a hen, named Crystal Gayle, that is lethargic, not standing very well, she has still been eating some and drinking some. She’s had poopy butt and she had a bath this morning. I am attaching a picture of her poop. But the biggest thing I’ve noticed besides her...

    Black Spots on Roosters Comb

    Oh maybe so! They get along with each other most of the time but they do circle around and puff up to each other every so often. Maybe they are fighting a little harder when I’m not around?

    Black Spots on Roosters Comb

    My two bantam roosters have black spots on their combs. Anyone have any ideas on what this might be? Or have any tips on how I might treat this? I did have a hen die unexpectedly last week. She has had a few health issues in the past, she didn’t seem to be sick recently but she was about to turn...

    Help! First time I have had a sick hen.

    I’m sorry to hear your girl is struggling! Some others on here are much more experienced than me but hopefully everyone will help we can get to the bottom of this. Can you feel her crop, does it feel full? Squishy? Empty? Does she have bad breath? What is the temperature outside? Also, not...

    Duck losing her voice?

    Has anyone ever had experience with their duck seemingly losing their voice? Loretta Lynn normally has a loud boisterous quack, and now she sounds like she’s giggling almost. Very hoarse sounding. Anyone with any experience or knowledge?

    Yellow poop

    The yellow squash thing might actually be something... I have been feeding them Zucchini and an occasional yellow squash (more zukes than squash) since we have an abundance. This looks almost yolk colored? I'm not sure what to think. Hopefully someone has some suggestions. Duck water is SO hard...

    Yellow poop

    Hey all, My sweet Millie, a two year old Mallard, had a terrible yellow looking stool this morning. I am attaching a picture of it. (Don’t mind the chicken Crystal Gayle in the picture, she was being nosy). It’s been hot and Millie has been broody. I usually give them fresh water twice a day...

    Duck diarrhea

    My ducks share feed with the chickens, it’s a very high-quality non-GMO feed. She has always had tighter more solid poop, but I have noticed this week that she has more of a diarrhea style loose stool. I am worried because I’m about to go on a two week trip and DH will be taking care of them...

    Multiple issues… Feet tightened and can’t walk well

    I don’t feel a sore on her breastbone but that doesn’t mean it’s not there. I gave her some Nutri-Drench this morning by syringe. She’s not eating or drinking so far today. But just a few minutes ago she started sort of slightly twitching her head constantly, seems uncontrollably? Her stool was...

    Multiple issues… Feet tightened and can’t walk well

    Hi all, Unfortunately Ginger is back on the thread. I have had her inside for a little over a week or so now. I moved her to the infirmary pen, and then the weather got bad so she’s been hanging out in the bathtub. Currently, her feet, especially one of them, are tightened up and she can’t stand...

    Swollen red feet

    Hi all, I noticed when I was out with my feathered girls the other day that I had one girl with legs that seem pinkish-red and puffier than usual. Anyone have any idea what this might be? She seems fine other than that, eating normally, walking and moving normally. I’m attaching a couple...

    Sour crop but what else? Lice?

    Thank you!! Any tips on where to find some of these items? I have some of them in essential oils, and I have fresh ginger root already, but I’m not sure where I would find Goldenrod this time of year or nettle leaf.

    Sour crop but what else? Lice?

    She seems much better. Her belly isn’t balloon like anymore and her sour crop seems to be gone. She still wheezes a tiny bit but she’s done that for a very long time. She is outside now and sleeping with the others but during the day I put her in my “triage pen.” She’s been getting picked on...
