Okay so I got a weird one for you guys, or at least it's weird for me. I brought home a duckling from the feed store my partner works at because something just wasn't right about the lil dude. It's a crested and they did have pretty rough shipping from what I heard so that could play into this...
I really hope it's not bird flu, I know Washington has been having some decent outbreaks of it but I thought we've been quarantining good enough to avoid it. Alas I shall do as y'all suggest and see if I can get ahold of a vet and ask them about it
Recently my partner's and I's flock has taken a hit from a mysterious disease and we're getting desperate to know what's up so we can treat it effectively. In less than a month we've had a goose and a duck die and now we have another duck down with the same thing. So far the symptoms list for...
I wasn't expecting to have to sell these lil guys but unfortunately I am moving to a place where I can no longer keep them. These darling little babies are about three months old? And are hatchery silkies crossed with an unknown breed. They're very sweet, very friendly, have no fear of people...
I have a super sweet, friendly drake that needs a new home as I am unfortunately moving to a place where I can no longer keep my birds. He's been raised by me since he was tiny and handled multiple times a day so he's perfectly okay with being handled and human interaction. He's about two years...
I've tried giving her one that's deep enough to dunk her head into now that she's old enough that it's fine if she gets wet, but she acts terrified of anything but the standard waterer that they use in the store
I got a roughly two week old duckling who was slightly wheezy when I got her from the feed store but now the poor thing is really wheezy, looks like she's kinda having to try harder to breathe, is sneezy, is shaking her head occasionally, and has yellowish snot, she's also got a kind of clicky...
So I just got up and went to move my ducklings outside for the day but here in Washington we’re having a really bad late smoke season. I was wondering if it would be bad to put my almost month old ducklings out in the smoke? I can’t even see down the road with how bad the smoke is
I was thinking about maybe giving them a lil bit of oatmeal since it doesn’t contain a lot of stuff and would temporarily fill them up, think that would work?
I got a batch of three week old duckkings who went through their feed waaay faster than I thought they would and I ran out overnight and none of my feed stores are open just yet. What could I use to substitute until then? They are very hungry screamers atm. I wasn’t quite sure where to put this...
Because my chickens are my children and I’d never harm my kids. The chicken I get from the store? I don’t know that bird, I’m not attached to it so I don’t really care. Just like you’d never eat your beloved cat or dog I’d never eat my chickens. Unlike the chickens from the store mine are for my...
I need to rehome my sweet drake to a different home because apparently my three hens aren’t enough for him and it’s starting to really affect them. He’s an absolute sweetheart, is great with kids, isn’t mean to humans, and gets along well with chickens. if you want to breed him he has some...
I was told to post this here, but anybody want some ducklings? I have four, sweet, almost two week old ducklings that need a new home as a broody got away with hatching them out when I have no room for more birds. They are from what I know, khaki Campbell x runner mixes Bred to a blue Swedish...
She’ll essentially just plop herself down in a corner, settle down like as if she had eggs underneath her, puff up, and scream at me if I try to get her back up and put her outside. She’s been like this for a month now
I have a broody hen who I just can’t seem to break her of her broodiness and it’s hot here this summer and I’m getting kinda afraid for her health. I’ve tried just about everything, cold water, ice packs, not letting her have access to a nest or eggs, putting her in a breezy open bottom cage...
I have four, sweet, almost two week old ducklings that need a new home as a broody got away with hatching them out when I have no room for more birds. They are from what I know, khaki Campbell mixes X blue Swedish ducklings. I live in the east Wenatchee, WA area and I am willing to drive a bit...
