    Chick Dead to Unknown Causes

    I use a small heat plate that provides a space of warmth for the chicks and they can self regulate when they want to be under it and when to stay away. Every day they would be out and about the brooder seeming perfectly content and then at night would go under the heater either entirely or with...

    Chick Dead to Unknown Causes

    I don’t think so, we have an AC unit where they are kept, and I have raised the heat lamp since he first hatched to avoid baking him, but I also do not think he was too cold. He seemed perfectly content before today.

    Chick Dead to Unknown Causes

    Hello everyone, today is a very sad day for me because I lost a chick that I had become attached to. I woke up this morning and found it’s corpse under the heat lamp that I’ve used for all of my other chicks and has worked wonderfully in the past. It always seemed to like it under there, but...

    Too few chicks

    A few days ago, a friend gave me 4 eggs to hatch. I candled the eggs on day 7, 10, 14, and 18 and I have been closely monitoring their development. I believe 2 of the embryos quit development, because the insides of the egg seemed to move around when rotated and closer to day 18 they were not...

    Bantam Egg Humidity

    Hello, this is my first time hatching bantams and was looking for advice on humidity. It is now day 8 of incubation and here is how they look. I have marked the air sacks with a pencil and did the best I could to capture the candling on camera. Any help is appreciated ☺️!

    Unidentified Eggs

    They are all that size and my neighbor keeps true-bantams and silkie-bantams. Also, are you suggesting I should lower the humidity?

    *URGENT* Duckling in Poor Condition

    Should I continue daily treatment or restrict it to once a week with the addition of scrambled egg? Also, I believe the poultry cell contains selenium and vitamin E.

    *URGENT* Duckling in Poor Condition

    Here is an update , it’s been one week of treatment and he has shot up in size and feathered out, but his neck unfortunately hasn’t shown much progress. Is this cause for concern or will he still have this condition for a little while longer?

    *URGENT* Duckling in Poor Condition

    Quick question, regarding water for both drinking and cleaning do you recommend one of these designs over the other, or do they both have their own purpose??

    *URGENT* Duckling in Poor Condition

    No, I didn’t consider the depth of the dish when purchasing it, so that is on me I suppose. But the others haven’t contracted the issue, so can I be sure that it is the dish? This is what I found for Poultry Cell, I am assuming it’s the right one, but what does the vitamine E look like?? I have...

    *URGENT* Duckling in Poor Condition

    Lastly, at about 9-10 days a few of my ducks began to bald just a tiny bit and i wasn’t concerned about the little one not having done so because i know that these stages of growth may vary in any individual duck, but it is interesting how despite being the first to hatch he has yet to bald...

    *URGENT* Duckling in Poor Condition

    Next, a couple days ago i posted about this same duck having an irritated eye, but the issue seemed to have resolved itself, but today I noticed it has returned and was worse than before. Here are some pictures of his eyes. (Left eye seems to be Ok, the right one is the problem one.)

    *URGENT* Duckling in Poor Condition

    Additionally, the duckling has a concerning “kink” in his neck. When he first hatched, he had trouble lifting his head, but it seems to have evolved into an even worse condition. How should I combat this??
