    PLEASE HELP! Chick with swollen vent and backside

    The outside of her butt is totally clean. And when she poops I have been cleaning that off almost immediately. I have been on top of it. So I can't imagine she could be backed up but I am not a pro either so I'm always up for advice. The wetness on her behind is water from where I just cleaned her

    PLEASE HELP! Chick with swollen vent and backside

    I have a chick less than 2 weeks old with a swollen backside and to best describe her vent it looks like a marble/ ball is in there. I have been on top of making sure their butts are clean. I checked her this morning and she is all big in the back and has lost some fluff back there. She chirps...

    Spreadsheet or lists of breeds?

    I will be totally honest when I say I am not sure? I am just starting to do my research on all of this and I am working on finding out popular breeds/ good egg layers that I would be able to sell and I haven't been able to find that information in one spot. I'm sure I am just not looking in the...

    Spreadsheet or lists of breeds?

    Hello all! I am considering breeding and hatching eggs to keep or even potentially sell and I am looking to see if anyone has a list of what breeds make certain chickens or even if someone can guide me to a site that would give me that information. Your help is greatly appreciated!

    Duck needs a friend..adult or duckling?

    Hello. I have a drake Rouen who needs a friend. He is close to 3 years old. Would it be better to get an adult duck or to get a duckling, raise it and introduce it? Thank you! Also I only plan on getting 1 duck 😊

    Dog attack :( Does and don'ts and life expectation?

    I am no expert by any means when it comes to ducks but I had dogs kill all of my fowl except for 1 drake. He was in shock and had wounds as well as a broken wing. Thankfully his wounds weren't that bad but he did have a broken wing that I was not able to totally get to recover because he kept...

    Duck in need of a friend 😊 Boy or girl? Same breed or different?

    Is it not a good idea to have just 2? We had the two before this happened and they were great. No issues with over mating BUT I know it may be different with a new female. I truly appreciate everyone's help so I don't want my messages to come across in a bad way. We really don't want more than...

    Duck in need of a friend 😊 Boy or girl? Same breed or different?

    Hello! I have a male Rouen who is in need of a friend. My chickens and other duck got killed by some dogs a few months ago. He has been nursed back to health and is doing well but unfortunately he was the sole survivor. Now I have gotten new chicks and I am looking for a friend for him. The...

    Injured duck

    Thank you! He is definitely getting used to me as the same we never touched them. He calls out if I am out of his sight too long but goes right back to grazing once he sees me. I also put a mirror beside his cage and he lays in front of it a lot now. I am trying my best to keep him from becoming...

    Injured duck

    Good afternoon all. My drake is actually doing pretty well right now. He still is not eating his food but he will eat mixed greens and grass when he is out. I have been taking him out once a day for about an hour and he does very well and enjoys himself. Today he found a puddle and it was like...

    Injured duck

    Thank you. I am going to try that with some other ideas that I found. I am also going to get the poultry nutrition stuff someone else mentioned because I feel awful he isn't eating.

    Injured duck

    I will definitely look for the tape. Heading there in the morning thank you! And no I cannot bring him in the house. Our house has an odd layout and I would not be able to keep my dog away from him and he is scared to death of the dog right now even though it wasn't my dog that did the damage.

    Injured duck

    No : ( and unfortunately the lettuce I gave him last night gave him runny poop. I did get him out to clean out his cage so he foraged in the yard for a bit and played in a big water tub with his head. I tried to mix the food and water and make it soupy and he had no interest. I am going to...
