Idk what to think. I’ve never seen this.
I just checked on him before getting in bed and he is still resting in that position but will move and open his eyes when I pet him gently.
He isn’t panting, he is actually the opposite and even and calm breathing. I’m just confused one how to help him...
So my hen Goldie passed away today.
But I can’t wrap my head around what happened.
All the chickens were accounted for in the coop/run when we left the house and she was alive. We got home a few hrs later and she was found dead in a live trap my husband had set close to their coop/run. We only...
Long story short, we had chickens get out of the coop and my husband was putting them up and wasn’t meaning to actually hit the chicken but swatted a very skinny stick like a switch at it and it popped it on his butt. he said it did several flips, and it laid down as if it was dead. He...
A syringe makes me so nervous because I’m worried I will make him aspirate but I may try a little bit and see if he will take it. That’s how I’m giving his abx. But it’s only 0.5 ml.
He ate maybe a bite or 2 yesterday but it wasn’t much at all. I boiled eggs and he usually goes crazy of them...
I posted recently about my two ducks getting attacked by an opossum. His name is Jack and he is a 6wk old Pekin.
He has several wounds, including his bill. He isn’t drinking hardly at all when I give him a bath and let him play in the water and relax he will drink a little bit, but that’s it...
This was him this morning.
Not a good picture but I didn’t want to disturb him yet. I had to get my kids to school and youngest to daycare before I can do anything.
Both eyes are swollen shut this morning. But he drank his whole quart of water last night so I want to take that as a good sign
These are from last night, I don’t have a picture of the back or chest. I didn’t want stress him out trying to get a picture of those because I would’ve had to hold and move feathers
But I’ll get one when I clean him up again this morning
I’m new on here but I’m hoping y’all can offer some insight or help at this hour! I can’t sleep and feel helpless!
We have 2 Perkin ducks that are about 6wks old. The male, Jack, is already quite large. We put them out in a large birdcage turned on its side to get some sun and at night we bring...
