    What Breed Should I Get?

    Marmalade is a wonderful name for a duck!

    Ascites

    I will certainly keep you posted! I'm starting the monistat tomorrow. She certainly is feeling better. She ate a little (I think she had become very weak in the henhouse) and definitely perked up. We brought her favorite friend inside, and they're sleeping in a warm room at the moment 🤞

    Ascites

    After reading and searching, sour crop might be a better fit. The affected area is where the crop is, and she is expelling bits of liquid now and again. She's definitely perked up from eating. She does NOT look like the ascites photos of the distended lower abdomen.

    Ascites

    Thanks for your reply! Her stool (whatever it's called in hens) cleared up, too? Also, might it go away if there isn't an underlying organ failure/issue? Sigh. Oh, yes, some water/liquid dripping from her beak every so often today.

    Ascites

    I have a very young hen, less than 3 months old. She has what I assume is fluid beneath where a healthy, full crop would be. I guess ascites because it feels like a water or air bladder/balloon under the skin. Like a blister :/ I imagine we'll drain as per videos and advice here. She's never...

    We could use some! Although we had fires and runoff and mudslides... but just a little would be nice. Correction, we did not have mudslides, but could w enough rain :(

    After YEARS of creeping, I finally signed up!

    Hooray! And welcome ❤️. :celebrate:highfive: Haha, sounds familiar. Happened at our house, too. Enjoy your ducks! Will they eat ticks? That would be a boon living on the East Coast. PS, I knit too :)

    new mama to 9 chicks

    Hi Amanda, welcome! We love naked necks, altho w don't have any atm. But we love all chickens. In our experience, they are gentle giants.

    My Pet Chicken

    Our silkie cross has been a successful mom from start to finish, and I know someone else who did exactly that. But these were eggs from the flock, and if they didn't hatch, it was sad, but not a financial issue.

    My Pet Chicken

    Do you have a mister? We're in CA, too. W/ temperatures over 100º for a week at a time (in the redwoods!), I purchased a cheap tube mister and it's pretty crummy. Might find another.

    My Pet Chicken

    I would pay that for a sexed silkie! We have too many silkie roos LOL. They hang out in a bachelor flock and don't make too much trouble. But we have a backyard flock, w limited residency.

    RIP Rick the rooster

    I'm really sorry for your loss. We have a fondness for naked necks, and yours was a real beauty. We have bobcats often during the day. Between them and hawks, we can't free-range any longer.
