Recently, I haven't noticed my mallard/Pekin duck out in the yard, even when changing her pool.
I went looking for her and found she has made a massive nest in one of the laying boxes. She seems to be sitting on quite a few eggs, but she has done this before a few years ago (the last batch was...
I am in the process of trying to get a flock of (what used to be 15) 6 birds, about a year of age. They have been heavily neglected and abused by their owners, not being fed for weeks, no fresh water or water at all for a week or more at a time, and being closed up in a coop. They haven't laid...
Here's an update! I put her into the coop and she just kind of laid down. Im going to let her rest there for a while because the only crate we have is a cat crate, so its small. She ate, she can drink water out there, and she has fresh air. Ill bring her in later to eat though.
Also! I got a...
Oh dang alright, well whatever it is, I might as well make her as comfy as I can.
I did wash her though. I also blow dried her and she did super well!
I mixed in some plain Greek yogurt into her feed and she ate quite a bit! She's in her crate right now in the laundry room because its raining...
Okay ill be sure to do that! Let's hope she doesn't mind the hairdryer
But I never knew that about applesauce! Ill try my best to not use it, thank you!
And for the egg, last I felt it felt as if it was beside one of legs, not near the vent or in the middle. I'll try to get her eating though
Okay, ill do that! I put her in a crate last night to see if her crop empties as well. It emptied fine so im happy about that.
I'll be sure to bathe her and everything!
So one of my two year old black star hens have been acting sickly lately! She's mildly lethargic, eats very little, has been losing weight, and frequently gives off a foamy, liquid, green poop that has small green bits in it.
I've tried to feed her by mixing my natural feed with applesauce (my...
So for a few days now, ive had a two and a half year old black star hen that has been seemingly sick.
She seems to have mild lethargy, green liquidy foam poop that has small bits of green. She seems to release this every so often.
She hasn't been laying eggs lately either, its winter so I have...
A couple night ago, one of my two year old hens started acting weird. She is walking with her legs far apart and seems to not be too interested in her normal feed. She seems to have a bloated abdomen, it feels mildly like a water balloon. I can get her to eat other things, like scrambled eggs or...
Oh yes, thank you. I was worried a bit worried when I saw them.
I was thinking about buying VetRX if its respiratory but I'll take a look at it. Thank you! I'll be sure to put updates
Yep, I looked twice last night. She doesnt have anything in there from what i saw. But this was the first time I've looked down ones throat and I saw all these white little spike like things. Is that normal?
And yes, shes eating and drinking fine. Doesn't seem to have anything wrong
Okay so I didn't see anything when I looked but I have a video of what she sounds like. I may be paranoid but im pretty sure she isn't supposed to sound like this:
Okay, I will take a look. Right now its about 60° (f). It was concerning when I saw that as well, but i was maybe hoping it wasn't anything bad. Ill double check though
I'm not sure, she was just out in the grass when she started. She would continue to walk around and peck at things and such, but would just generally sneeze.
I went out there again and she seems to have stopped sneezing. She was just panting, as if she was hot though. Its not hot but I could...
Okay so first of all, I'm such a nervous Nancie when it comes to my birds, so I hope you guys can just calm my worries a bit.
So one of my 4 month old chickens is sneezing. Like, periodically sneezing. She sounds like a squeaky toy whenever she sneezes, but she might sneeze once to a whole...
Well, if you ever have any issues with Coccidiosis, I'd suggest getting Corid solution, the liquid stuff if possible. I bought myself some just in case it ever happens again. My hens had fevers, forcefully kept themselves from eating and drinking, were lethargic, were pale, and were sneezing. Id...
Recently, my 3 month old flock went through a wave of Coccidiosis. I started with 18 and now only have 11. I was told sour crop at first as well, but I found differently. They died of a brown liquid goop that they would sneeze out and vomit, then they would seize up and have it come out the eyes...
