    4 chicks, 4 and 5 weeks old. 1 is behaving oddly

    I am located in Colorado, we don't use insecticides or poison because we have animals. The chicks are on an old rug because I didn't want them directly on concrete. The water is house water, we're not on a well and the food is not moldy

    4 chicks, 4 and 5 weeks old. 1 is behaving oddly

    I have 4 chicks, 2 and 2 one week apart. One of my older girls is stumbling and seems to have weak legs. I only noticed this today when I moved them all to an outside shed and prior to this they had lived in a room of the house with no other observations of weakness. None of the others are...

    My lame duck has a new leg injury..

    We ended up making the decision to put her down, she just didn't have the quality of life she deserved. I also had the vet do an autopsy and it turns out it was a bacterial infection that is fairly common in commercial poultry and she likely had it when I got her initially. Luckily it did not...

    I will do my best! I've been trying to wrap it to her body but she pulls it off with her beak. I will attempt to bring her in and do it

    Help with a broken wing!

    Its a closed fracture, and yes it's in her humerus. I will attempt to get a picture. She's always been skittish and this incident has only made it worse

    Fake eggs

    Golf balls should be fine! I used ping pong balls for mine and I've only had 2 lawn eggs in 3 months. I suppose it depends on how picky your hens are though lol some can be finicky

    Help with a broken wing!

    My flock was attacked and almost entirely wiped out by some stray dogs. We had one surviving duck. At the time she seemed ok, just a few shallow wounds, which I cleaned and disinfected. Late the next day I noticed her wing was hanging down and I believe is is broken up near her shoulder. I have...

    My lame duck has a new leg injury..

    It's been about 4 days. I noticed she hadn't moved at all from where I set her one morning and that's when I noticed her swollen leg. I can't feel anything like a break and there are no cuts or scraps either

    My lame duck has a new leg injury..

    Yes it's the only way she's comfortable. Even if I try and set her in a different position she'll move back into this one

    My lame duck has a new leg injury..

    No I don't have a video of her walking and she no longer can. I used brewers yeast and it helped the one but not the other. She is a Pekin duck and is approximately 21 weeks. Even though her legs weren't right she still got around fairly well without using her beak or wings most of the time. She...

    My lame duck has a new leg injury..

    I am a first time bird owner and this year I got 3 chickens and 2 ducks for my yard. The chickens are fine but the ducks had a niacin deficiency when they were young. While I did up the niacin in their diet, one never fully recovered. She's been able to stand and get around, but recently she...
