    Odd growths/tumours?

    I had a dig in the smaller lump, couldn't find a feather, no puss, just a bit of blood. She's started showing signs of lameness today, he foot curls under when she tried to walk. It is the same leg that the lump is on so maybe connected? She still has an appetite, poo is normal and her comb is...

    Khaki ducks mean to chickens

    They are super skittish, even at night I can't get close enough to grab them! I just try to herd them into a seperate area if they're being super assholes. Anytime the chickens are in sight, they chase them, mouth open and making an awful ruckus. If they get close enough they try to give them a...

    Khaki ducks mean to chickens

    I think they're about 12 months old, we adopted them from an egg farm that was closing down so that's best guess. I get animals don't do 'civil' was more of a wondering whether there's anything I can do to help them coexist better. Im in australia so we're just coming into autumn but it could...

    Khaki ducks mean to chickens

    I have 3 khakis (1 drake, 2 female) and they are just honest to god assholes to my chickens. They're all free range so have nearly half an acre to wander but they are constantly chasing the chickens and trying to peck them. They've not done any damage per say but the chickens aren't...

    Odd growths/tumours?

    Hi all, tad concerned about my 3yr old leghorn girl. She's developed some awful looking growths on her wings. She's normally fairly skittish so I genuinely have no idea how long they've been there for. Initial thought was Mareks (Of course we go To worst case straight up!) but she seems mostly...

    Possible pecking injury. How should I treat it?

    Just thought I'd update, after a week and a half, Henny finally opened her eyes this morning! I've been worried about her but she's had an appetite and not lost weight so just kept sticking it out. Still a while to go but just so glad she's on the mend. She'll stay inside in isolation and then...

    Possible pecking injury. How should I treat it?

    Glassdragonfly, thankfully she doesn't have a vaulted skull, just the wild mop of feathers. Two of the others from her clutch have a vaulted skull though, I seperated the standard chickens from them just to be on the safe side. I gave her meloxicam and she's much happier after that. Tucked into...

    Possible pecking injury. How should I treat it?

    Hi all, I've stalked along in the background to find answers in the past but finally signed up as I'm a bit lost as to how to help one my favourite girls. Henny is 18mths and a bitsa (silkie, pekin, rhode island cross). I pulled her out 3 weeks ago with a pecking injury, was just a small cut...
