    Vent gleet

    Ok so I need help. I haven’t been able to get the anti fungal cream yet and I feel terrible but everything has been crazy. Plus it seemed like she was getting better. Here’s a little backstory on this chicken. First of all she’s not mine. Somone is taking care of about 17 white leghorn chickens...

    Thank you so much! That is very helpful. Do I just put the cream on the skin around her vent?

    Can someone post a picture of what anti fungal cream is ok to use for a chicken with vent gleet? So many options and I can’t figure out which one is ok to use.

    Silkies eye swollen shut

    I’ve tried a couple of times to dip his beak and he wants nothing to do with it. Sorry my post was probably pretty confusing! No damage to the coop. There was an old dog crate right underneath the nesting box that I had for the ducks to lay eggs. So I’m thinking maybe the raccoon climbed on top...

    Silkies eye swollen shut

    So it’s a long story but we had some weird things happen last night. I have 2 coops side by side. 1 was for full size chickens the other for bantam chickens. Each of them have nesting boxes side by side and they’re separated by chicken wire. The big chickens nesting box has a lid with no lock on...

    Normal duck feet?

    I’ve got a bunch of almost 2 month old ducklings. They’re afraid of everything and cause so much noise. I managed to grab the ringleader. She’s the loudest of them all and sets everyone off. As I was holding her I noticed her feet are really cracked in places. Is this normal? Both of them are...

    I blew it. Now what?

    Thab Thank you so much! That is pretty much what I’ve been thinking as well. We could move the heat lamp outside but it will have to be on an extension cord. We worry about it being a fire hazard but maybe we can secure it. I’m not ready to move them out just yet because there’s not a coop...

    I blew it. Now what?

    So the ducklings are about 2 weeks now! This is the setup we have but they are quickly outgrowing it. My dad built the lid thingy because of our cat. I keep noticing them panting. We live in California. We’re having days in the 70s and 80s. Nights in the 40s there about. I unplugged the heat...

    I should add she was pooping a little bit.

    I blew it. Now what?

    So in all we had 24 hatch. We assisted with a few of them. We’ve noticed one was smaller and weaker. This evening we’ve kept her with us. She wasn’t eating or drinking. All she wanted to do was sleep and she wasn’t pooping at all. We mixed up some food and vitamin water and had her on a warm...

    This was this morning when we went to move them to the brooder. They were causing such a ruckus! 😄

    We’re up to 17 😳 We were not expecting so many to hatch 😂

    Update. 6 have hatched so far!!

    I blew it. Now what?

    One of them hatched!!! 😆😆😆 Now it’s bumping around into all the other eggs.... Will this help everyone else or should I be taking it out soon? I’ve seen some things that say to leave them in because they’ll be fine for 24 hours. Other things I’ve seen say to take them out.

    I blew it. Now what?

    So it’s day 27 now. As of last night at least 10 eggs have cracks in them! 1 egg was rocking and chirping a lot like it was quite mad 😂 The egg that I dropped has also made a nice crack in the shell. I’m concerned for number 27. It pipped internally somewhere between Tuesday night and Wednesday...

    I blew it. Now what?

    I’m excited! I know it’s difficult to know but any idea of why the egg would quit at this point? I’m just wondering if I should make any other adjustments to the temp or humidity.

    Thank you for your quick reply! Yes it sure is!

    I blew it. Now what?

    Update! We bought a new incubator that I was excited to use. I bought a nice thermometer and learned how to calibrate it. The incubator was perfect! My plan was to put the eggs that have pipped internally into the new incubator and then drop the humidity to hopefully give the others a better...
