    Lost a baby chick, please help

    Good morning, We got baby chicks from TSC on April 3rd, and then a week or so later got more. They’ve all been doing well and we didn’t lose any until this morning when I found our runt dead. She was still warm, and other than having a smaller bottom beak, was eating and drinking just fine...

    Review by 'RERICKSON4122' in article 'Hens Passing Away Due to Old Age: What to Expect'

    Although this is not my first chumpkin death, it is my second RIR. The first one we thought was egg bound etc we did everything we could within our scope of practice. Our RIR are the oldest in the flock. Probably 8-10 years of age (they belonged to my in laws first). Anyways, I have my girl in a...

    Please help….egg bound or stroke?

    No. It’s all liquid. I will take a picture this morning. She was up and walking around yesterday but slowly, however, she is also blind. We are still syringe feeding, she won’t willingly eat.

    Please help….egg bound or stroke?

    Today we were able to get more yellowish/white stuff out and she stopped contracting/ pushing for the time being. We also gave her some electrolyte water with calcium powder (1 tsp) and VetRx drops. We swaddled her (loosely) and put her in our dark bathroom in a bin. When we checked around...

    Hey guys!! My chicken is around 6 years old. Yesterday we found her in the nesting box with a bunch of clear fluid underneath and my husband was able to get the rest out (yellowish/clear) she is now falling asleep standing up and doesn’t want to move much. I interact with them every day, she...

    Duck mom needs help!!

    I stocked up on frozen fruits and veggies as well as romaine lettuce and cucumbers. She’s not acting upset or depressed. Her other three ducks that she grew up with wandered to the road and got hit. She hasn’t acted weird or stressed at all and they’ve been gone 6 months. When we let the...

    Duck mom looking for advice

    Ugh this helps so much. She really isn’t acting any differently other than walking over to the gate because we always left it open. She’s actually been sleeping in or close to the brown nesting box which she’s never done. I’m going to buy some hay this weekend and any suggestions are welcome!! I...

    Duck & chicken mom needs help!!

    Gosh I’m so sorry I wasn’t sure where to put it and thought that the introduction would be best so I could be rerouted to the right forum. Thank you for your kind words. She always used to hang out where we put the fence up so we thought keeping her in there would be fine and honestly she’s not...

    Duck & chicken mom needs help!!

    She seems fine. They passed away 6 months ago and she has acted the same if not better. When they were around they were always trying to mate so most of the time she was hiding or roaming and they stayed close by. She seems very happy and active. I was just worried that putting her in the run...

    Duck & chicken mom needs help!!

    Yes we do. I wasn’t sure if that was the way to go or if she’d even accept a new friend. She never acts depressed or sad she’s always sleeping near the house/coop up until the past week. The two males have been gone almost 6 months now and she has stayed in the yard more since they got hit. So I...

    Duck & chicken mom needs help!!

    The run is all hers. The chickens have their own coop/ run right beside her….my husband said she has always been free roam but after yesterday I don’t feel it’s a good idea. She’s also never had babies but is very broody. I’m not even sure what kind of duck she is but she imprinted me I believe...
