He’s been acting completely normal otherwise, there are no weird symptoms he’s had besides this. Exactly as the title says, there’s a weird saliva like liquid coming out of his nostrils. We gave him a sort of bucket of water to try and clear it out, which seemed to have worked momentarily...

An update for everyone who replied to this thread in an effort to help, unfortunately the chick passed away the following afternoon. I appreciate everyone’s help with this, thank you guys!

Thank you so much!

That’s a good idea! I’ll do this as soon as I can. And he hasn’t gone towards the water or food or anything, but neither have any of the other chicks as they aren’t even 24 hours old yet. So it may be too early to tell if that’s an issue. Thank you for your replies and your ideas! I really...

Wow! I had no idea this condition existed. Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention I am going to look into it. And yes, I figured a lot of people here would be asleep right now but figured I’d give it a shot regardless. Hopefully as people wake up I get some more responses. Thank...

I think I’m going to try to clean his head up a bit in the morning to see if it helps any, as long as no one gives me the advice not to. And thank you for this! This has been helpful.

I haven’t been on this site in a while, but today I had a chick hatch with what appeared to be blood on it’s head, but upon further inspection was much more concerning. This little guy hatched under one of my broody hens. When I picked him up for the first time I’m 99% sure I could recall...

My broody hen has 11 eggs, about four of which are pipped. When I went to check on her, for some reason she freaked out and ran off the nest. She went to the main area where all of my chickens eat and drink water and all of that, and I’ve been trying to chase her for at least 30-40 minutes. for...

Definitely!

Yes! I ended up realizing it wasn’t going to be able to come out on its own as it had gotten itself pretty stuck, so after a successful and easy assisted hatch the duckling is doing great!

Oh my goodness! Adorable!

It depends! I have a few that are the sweetest things who will jump on me and let me hold them for as long as I’d like! Yet, I have a few that want nothing to do with me and some sort of in the middle.

About 29 hours ago, we noticed the pip in this egg. This morning at around 10 am (it is now 6 pm), we noticed it had started to zip. Ever since maybe one pm the ducklings egg has pretty much looked like this, and it’s been trying to stretch its way out over and over again! But it hasn’t cracked...

Wow!! Amazing!

I don't know much about genetics when it comes to this kind of stuff, so somebody correct me if this doesn’t make much sense, but are all of your eggs that you hatched from the same hen? Have you hatched her eggs before? Maybe she has some sort of genetic problem that caused this too happen?

Sorry I’m replying so late! But here’s some pics of some of them as babies!

Thank you everyone for your replies and advice! I put them in the coop and they did great! :)

My ducklings are about three weeks old at this point, and have a lot of feathers on the breast area and some growing on the wings and tail. I was wondering what your guy’s opinion of putting them in the coop tonight would be? Do you think it’s safe? The overnight low should be about 61 degrees...
