I have a Rouen duck that isn’t acting right tonight, walking slow, not super spunky. Usually she is very hard to catch and she was easy to scoop up tonight. No signs of physical injuries, doesn’t feel egg bound. I brought her up in a small kennel to monitor close by (in my garage) and she’s now...
Don’t have time to explain everything but I have a hen who had some bad struggles with nasal blockage and debris in there, worked with a vet several times and spent a lot more time and money than anyone thought I should on this hen, and she is now gladly doing better. Only problem is her...
Long story short, this is our barn cat/turning indoor cat, he’s up to date on all vaccinations and flea and tick and heart worm prevention and everything. He recently has been having the third eyelid covering part of his eyes, and has been slightly more lethargic and eating and drinking more...
As some of you may know there’s a lot happening within my flock currently, two hens just died from what is a mystery, and I’m now fighting impacted crop on another hen. But this isn’t about them. Shortly after the death of the two birds I closely inspected everyone, and found this brahma with...
Long story short I just had two hens pass away, from possibly different ailments, so I have been watching and feeling my remaining birds like a hawk. I have now 27 chickens and 12 ducks. The first two birds had different symptoms, and one seemed to have sever sour crop, and although I expressed...
Hey guys, Linda is my 21/2- 3yo rir hen. She hasn’t been on the roost the last two nights, and last night it looked like she was almost laying on her side. Her vent is clear, just a bit of poop on her feathers, her crop only had a bit of food in it, maybe the size of a large grape, but it was...
I gave my flock a big bowl of tomatoes and watermelon about an hour or two ago, and I just saw my duck poop a big piles of very red poop. Upon observation I’m seeing several piles, but it doesn’t look like blood. Is it from tomatoes? Help!
Hey everyone, just found a little hen like this this morning, her eye looks foggy and a bit red, wondering if she got pecked? She cocked her head over to look at me with the other eye a few times…. From what I can guess I’m assuming she has limited or no sight in her left eye, when I went to go...
Hey everyone, recently one of my cubalayas has been molting, and she’s acted completely normal and everything until last night I found her hunched weird in the roost, is it because all those pin feathers are coming in? I imagine it’s not the most comfortable.
Hey everyone. I’ve been wondering about this hen and am finally making a post about it to see what you guys think. Karen is my golden laced Wyandotte hen that I have noticed within the past few months decides not to roost with the others, and instead sits on her haunches on the floor in the...
Hey everyone, wondering if my flock has mites. I have 29 chickens and 12 ducks that live together. I have a nice big run and have a duck side that I have a big pool in and everything, and then a chicken side with dust baths and a few treat dispensing toys etc. they all live together in the same...
Hey everyone, I’m finally just getting to posting this. One of my Wyandotte's behind looked a little funky when I was refilling the food, I noticed some poopy, clumpy feathers and some pretty red skin, so I caught her to clean her up, and decided to post here with some pictures, because I can’t...
Hello everyone ling story short the owner took the mama away from the nest with her babies and two eggs were left behind. They asked if anyone wanted to try to hatch them and see if they were alive for the heck of it I picked them up. I’ve got a broody right now but that’s it. What do y’all...
Got this for my chickens when I was at the farm store because it looked cool 😂 but just realized that I should have checked if my ducks can have it as well? It says formatted for many breeds, but I just want to make sure it’s safe.
Hey everyone. I have a pullet that is ten weeks old, and she seems to be acting oddly. She is more lethargic than the others and has been laying down a lot. Right now we are in a transition period so I carry all the young ones to and from the barn, where they stay in a large dog kennel for...
Hello everyone, there’s a bit of a dilemma at a church near me that I have gone to for years. So bascially there’s a courtyard that is fully enclosed by the four hallways of the church. Inside the courtyard is a playground for the kids. Each year a wild mallard flies in, and lays her eggs and...
Hey everyone my chicks are now just over eight weeks old so I’m finally making this post. I know I already have one rooster out of the batch since I posted about him before and he’s now crowing, but I’ll still throw a few pics of him in for fun. I have comb and full body pictures of each bird...
Hello all, I’ve been watching this one in particular hen for about a week now. She seems to have a very liquidy fullish crop during the day, and it’s more solid and smaller in the morning when I let her out of the coop, but as the day goes on she drinks water and eats and such and it becomes...
Hello all this is a hen of mine that I had thought was a red sex link (sone people on here said so when she was little) but sone people also say she’s an ISA brown, I know red sex links live shorter lives and am just curious, what do y’all think? Her name is Marmalade and she is just a year old...
