abandoned

Hi. A duck came to nest in our garden a while ago. She was very camouflaged and didnt know she was there for a long time. Sadly she abandoned the nest, we left the eggs outside for about 2 days hoping she'd return but didn't, so we've taken them in. I've recently been incubating the eggs and...

My 2 yr old muscovy mom, Luna, has always been very good at hatching out her clutch however we still have 6 of her last clutch whom are quite the trouble makers and caused so much drama during this incubation of this clutch she was left with 2 eggs. Even those 2 eggs at one point we're knocked...

Hi everyone! I'm posting here in the hope of getting some suggestions and directions for finding a new home for the abandoned domestic ducks at the pond in our neighborhood park. Sadly, people have dumped several domestic ducks (Pekin, Muscovy, Swedish, crested ducks, and a few mixed breeds)...

Someone posted these poor guys on Reddit yesterday. She said they are all living on a local pond in Odell, Oregon. She has room to try and take in one or two of them and is going to try and get the Welsh Harlequin tomorrow, as it seems to be injured. She’s contacted local rescues and animal...

Hello, I recently found what I believe is a Langshan hen abandoned on the roadside. It's the middle of the wet season here and she was in a shallow ditch of water when I retrieved her. She's been quarantined for two weeks and was going to be 8ntroduced yo the flock tomorrow but I finally got a...

So this morning while checking my flock I was taken by surprise when a rooster I had never seen before popcorned off one of the runs shelters. Clearly I surprised him just as much as he did to me. Now I live in a residential neighborhood within town and mostly familiar with the two other homes...

Some (awful) person dumped 4 roosters on my parent's remote property in the woods. We caught all of them (turns out my husband missed his calling in chicken wrestling). One was being attacked by the two biggest roosters and is pretty beat up (eye won't open, missing all his tail feathers and a...

We live in the mountains and for the past week there has been a lone duckling at our local pond (approximately 100x50ft). He is very little and no mom duck or other ducklings around. It's been really hot with nighttime lows in the high 50s or low 60s but will be getting cooler for a few...

She's been sitting on them 8-10 days, maybe. We had to move her because it was just an unsafe spot for her to be out at night and she didn't like it. She was off the nest a few days before I realized she just was not going to sit on them any longer. The temp here has gotten down to low 70s at...

Hello! I have wild chickens that are native to my neighborhood (Ybor City). I am by no means an expert, just looking for some advice! There were two separate hens nesting with fertilized eggs on separate parts of my property. The first had 6 eggs hatch and she left with them. There is one left...

Hi! Wanted to say a quick hello and ask for some help. Someone abandoned a rooster in my yard. I’m in the middle of a lot of construction in my house. I would keep it considering I want to get chickens when I am done with the work. He panics every time I start construction for the day. Does...

I had 4 broody hen this year, which all sat on duck eggs, I had total of 41 duck eggs this year. My 1st hen hatched out, 1 Khaki Campbell duckling. My 2nd hen hatch out, 1 Khaki Campbell duckling and 1 Silver Appleyard duckling hatched. Later on my 3rd hen hatched out, 10 ducklings of Welsh...

Long story short, my first time broody abandoned her eggs at around 18-20 days (different egg age by up to few days). I have noted her out and about and not coming back to the nest anymore and not willing to sit despite my efforts. I am a first timer and very spontaneously decided her to let...

We have a male and female French Toulouse pair that are four years old. They've never been successful hatching goslings but we had high hopes this year! The first year, one gosling hatched but by the time we knew, it was dead and she had abandoned the nest. No idea what happened. Last year she...

Hello everyone, I'm in desperate need of some advice, I have 2 grown Muscovy ducks (a mother and father) and their 7 ducklings who are 5 weeks old. Our situation with our ducks is somewhat unique: We raised the parents from chicks and though they eat/play and hang out on the farm during the...

Hello my name is daisy. Im now, as of today,going to care for 3 chicken hens my step dad abandoned. At our house. He is no longer living here with us. Soo I've decided to join this group in order to learn about information that will help care for the hens. Care as in their health, feeding ...

Maggie is a great Mother Hen, and has hatched eggs two years now. She hatched 3 early this year, and hatched one on June 16th. This morning I see that she had abandoned her chick. He/she is still rather small and is the only chick. I'm hoping that the other chickens (I have 40) don't attack...

We live in Willington CT and let our chickens free range in our yard. Today we came home and it seems that someone dropped off a chicken in our yard. Any guidance of what we should do will be greatly appreciated. We could support another chicken but we are afraid it is a rooster and if someone...

A muscovy (I think) appeared at our school in Santa Ana last week. She seems comfortable around people, so I think someone dropped her off. I would like to send her to a good home for the holidays! Please help! Thank you so much.

Hi all, someone has abandoned two roosters near our apartment complex in Meridian Township. You are not allowed to have roosters per ordinance so I'm guessing instead of doing the responsible thing they just dumped the roosters. It's getting very cold and I've been trying to feed the roosters...
