    Sexing ducklings by voice

    These are my four runner ducklings that are 3 weeks old. It might be too early to tell but I wanted your guys opinion on their genders, they all sound very similar to me

    What breed is this?

    I bought 4 runner ducklings but am unsure of this one. It is 3 weeks old. The lady I got her from said it didn’t look like a runner (this was at one day old) and maybe one of her cayuga ducklings got over the divider in the brooder. I figured it was a runner cause it started to stand tall like...

    Help! Frostbite taking over my hens feet

    Awe thank you. I couldn’t give up on her cause she wouldn’t give up on me. She’s a real fighter. I’ve thought about getting her prosthetic feet but I decided against it since she’s already teaching herself to walk on her stumps. If I throw feet on her she’ll have to learn all over again. I’m...

    Help! Frostbite taking over my hens feet

    Yes the bone did come with it. I remember a small part of maybe bone or muscle tissue was keeping the dead foot/leg attached to her stump for a little while. When the foot fell off I was able to see what happed inside the dead foot (where the bone was and how everything was black and dried)...

    Help! Frostbite taking over my hens feet

    Sorry about the late reply. Sages right leg is quite a bit shorter because the frostbite took more on that leg. She has some trouble learning how to walk again because her legs are uneven lengths but she’s getting ahold of it. The hardest part of her journey for me was when her feet turned...

    Help! Frostbite taking over my hens feet

    February 14 Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! I’ve been calling Sage “stumpy” and the nickname is now stuck lol. She is finally starting to walk again and I’m so proud of her. At first she only seemed to know how to walk backwards but now she’s been taking steps forward. It takes her awhile to get...

    January 31, 2022. Her other foot finally came off! I was super happy to find out that it finally came off, now she just need to heal and she can be a happy chicken again 😊 she seems to enjoy when I pick her up and walk her around the house because she gets to look at everything. She got some...

    Help! Frostbite taking over my hens feet

    Thank you so much for the advice, it helps a lot. She is doing amazing. She’s starting to put weight on her stump and it’s healed over nicely. Her other foot has not yet detached but I expect it to happen soon because it no longer works. On the leg that still has the foot she sits back on on...

    Help! Frostbite taking over my hens feet

    I just have a few questions, if anyone has answers that’d be great. what should I wrap her stumps with? How long after the feet detach should I wait until wrapping them? Do the wraps stay on 24/7? How often do they need to be changed? When will the pain be gone from her stumps? I’m assuming...

    Help! Frostbite taking over my hens feet

    Her name is Sage. Thank you for the advice. I have been keeping her on a soft blanket as I haven’t had the opportunity to buy shavings yet. It’s day 22, the foot that had curled toes has now detached and is hanging on by a thin piece of skin. It was quite shocking when I first saw but I now...

    I am in Alberta. Thank you for the advice, the sling chair sounds like a good idea for her. How often do you recommend soaking her feet?

    Help! Frostbite taking over my hens feet

    I have a 5 month old hen that has frostbite on her feet. She’s been inside for 2 weeks now and it’s been getting worse. It started off as red blisters, now one leg is half black and shriveled. The other leg is beginning to turn black as well. She is eating and drinking fine, and does not act...

    Help! Frostbite taking over my hens feet

    I am from Alberta. I do not plan on putting her back into the coop since she will have difficulty roosting and the rest of the flock will pick on her. She will stay in the house till summer
