No one answered and i wasn't sure what to do but i figured it out by waiting.Here is what i did in case someone else has this problem. i raised the humidity up to 80 and put a wet napkin underneath the egg for 4 day's because i thought the egg would dry out.Finally the duck got it's beck out and...
i have never had crow's at my house but this year i've had a group that comes every day.My chicken's hide from them but my duck's will chase them away.
My duck was sitting on eggs for about 34 days.two hatched and she got off the nest and i thought she would go back on so i left the eggs in.After 3 hours she was still off so i set up my incubator and went to go get the eggs.there was 10 eggs.one of the eggs was hatching, and my chickens were...
I usually give them sand or grit in a bowl every week.When i was younger i had a seizure and i don't remember any of it and i think i black out during the whole thing.He doesn't sleep afterwards he just get's up and act's fine.I have never heard of the apple cider vinegar in water before, i will...
Last summer i got a new incubator so i hatched egg's from my chicken's in the incubator and almost all of them hatched.After that my grandparent's gave me duck egg's and some of those hatched, then i bought Polish and Silkie hatching eggs from two different seller's and none of them hatched.Have...
He hit his head before on the top of the cage a while ago but i don't see any lumps.he does breed with the females and one was trying to set on the eggs but i took them away. i was thinking at first maybe he had mites because it sort of looked like he was trying to itch his head but none of the...
I have a male button quail with 4 female button quail's..Last week i saw he fell over and start shaking and moving his head around in circles as he flopped all over the cage shaking, i didn't know what was wrong with him so i picked him up and he still did it then stopped and acted normal...
I have a pet male turkey and a female turkey, the male turkey was breeding with the female turkey and i think he broke her leg.She trys to get up but can't lift herself up, her leg just goes to the side.I had her by herself and he ended up finding away into the pen she was in and cutting her...
Thank you i read around looking for other posts and i didnt think anyone would answer so i put her by herself then put bag balm on it this morning then blue kote on it later the cut's still look bad but hopefully she will get better.i will try neosporin tomorrow.

I have six button quail that hatched my niece dropped one and the next day it's leg was bent side ways.It still does normal thing's but i wanted to know if i could fix it's leg somehow? I thought i could tie yarn from one leg to the other but it's leg keep's slipping out of the yarn.
My neighbors are like that with every animal they get.First they got a puppy and left it go without a leash and it was always in my yard chasing my chickens and my family would take it back but they would never take it inside.Once i was outside and it stayed in the yard following me around and...
I have 11 in one big cage for the winter.(during the summer i had two females with a male then two more females with another male in another cage but one of the females hatched 6 babies) I don't think she is trying to hatch anymore because she got off her nest and was making a chirping sound...
My button quail has been sitting in the nest house i have in the pen for 3 days now. i saw her mate coming in and out of the house and will run at the other quails that go near the house and chase them away.She still comes out eat's or if i put grit in the cage she will run out for that then...
