We had 2 ducks and the female died yesterday. We are going to look at 3 10mth old females today but im concerned how our lone male will take to 3 new birds. Also the place we're getting them from wants us to take their male. Will this be too much for our bird? If we do get them all do we keep...
We sprayed the entire bottom of foot with blue kote last night and today seems much better already. Will pick up the epsom salt today. Thank you miss lydia!
My indian runner duck started acting weird today and falling over. I thought she was getting ready to start laying and was having trouble but we found a cut on her foot and now think she may ha e bumble foot. Confirmation and treatments would be greatly appreciated. Will blue kote be ok for it?
She has always been a good layer. For the past couple of months we were getting soft shelled eggs and we thought eggs were getting eaten too because there is yolk on the other eggs. Thioe might have been her now that I'm thinking about it. I soaked her in warm water for about 15 min. Its been a...
I have a black sexlink that we thought was eggbound. She is not eating drinking won't move unless she has to and lets me hold her which is not typical. We seperated her and are syringe forcing water. I checked her vent up to my 1st knuckle and nothing. What else could be happening? I read a...
He actually seems more active then the other one. They are going to be 3 wks tomorrow. He is turning out darker skinned then the other one. I will start those supps asap.
DrakeErryday thank you for posting this. We just got our first ducklings yesterday and they are 5 days old now. One has a purple beak and the other one doesn't so i was trying to find out what it means. Should i start giving the supplements now or wait and see if it starts having problems?
I will try to post a pic tomorrow. Thank you for the replys.
he is on dirt in the run and in the coop its a wood floor with wood shavings. he is not a friendly rooster so treating it will be difficult but i will sure try. i will get styptic powder and blukote. if i use the blukote will i still...
my 1 year old silkie roosters feet keep bleeding. it looks like its coming from the feathers on his feet. the other chickens start peeking him and are just making it worse. I would like to not have to seperate him from his girls. what can i put on him to keep him from bleeding all the time? why...
Thank you for posting.....i'm still not sure exactly if its a vitamin deficency or a neuralogical disorder, but has brought me closer to figuring it out.
does anyone know if I give her a vitamin B complex and it turns out to not be a vitamin deficency would that cause her any harm?

My 8 mon old white leghorn hen is always falling over things. when she gets into her nesting box she falls into it. when she falls down she will just lay there for awhile. she lays down more then the other birds as well ( just lays down and sleeps, during the day) she eats and drinks as good as...
