My cayuga just hatched some babies 2 days ago. I found one of her ducklings only using one leg. She seems to act like all the other ducklings, just as lively,
but she wont use one of her legs. Is it a birth defect or is it broken? It's very wobbly and can bend in directions I dont think it...
Sadly my most favorite chicken just turned up dead this morning. She was a 14-week salmon faverolle and was peeping are quite happy this morning with no signs of anything it seems. I went back to check on them around 12 and found her lying on the ground dead. Ants had already found her but there...
I have a baby pigeon who is only 2 or 3 days old but for some reason when I went to check on it, it seemed to have been pushed away from the nest. The parents were near it but it was as if they kicked it out and were getting ready to lay more eggs because they were sitting at the nest but the...
Meet NIGEL! He is sooooo cute! I think its a roo, but not 100%. Fixing his leg also so dont mind the thing around his legs. Same age as my other chick, but a whole lot less feather growth, and apparently that means roo...maybe? Any guesses on breed or gender already? Very chill bird! I was...
Went to check on my young hens today and found one with this.
It is a large sac under the tongue and is bloody.
I have isolated her from the rest of the group but am wondering if this is contagious to the other hens, and what I can do about this.
Thank you!
I got a baby silkie chick, tiny little thing. Maybe 5-6 days old at the very most. It's been living in a small bin with a gosling and they've been doing great for the past couple of days.
Suddenly, the silkie just start crying out non-stop. Cheep cheep cheep cheep x400. Doesn't stop! It's...
Hey!
I just incubated some eggs, and out of 6 eggs, one became a cute little baby silkie.
The chick is now 2 weeks old, but i have recently recognized that it keeps opening and closing its mouth, and sometimes turns it head from side to side. It also sneezes sometimes.
I have no idea what this...
So these are from a feaathered leg collection. Im thinking they are different duccles and brahmas but wondering if anyone thinks any are cochins, besides the obvious frizzle in the group.
I think they are mostly porcelain duccles because, they have puffy cheeks, do cochin chicks have puffy...
Hello! I've been watching this site for a while but just got four new baby chicks from our local feed store, so I thought it was time to officially join!
The first three days my chicks were doing great, and then I noticed my Rhode Island Red was not as active as the others and had some white...
I was going through old photos on my phone today and I came across this. It was taken in the summer 2 years ago. I was out on my ATV in the woods near our creek and I seen something on the path ahead. I stopped and got off my ATV to get a closer look. This is what I seen:
A little turkey...
Does anyone know any good medicine for button quail. Shes sleeping a lot and shes all fluffed up in a corner. Shes eating well but her droppings are mostly water or brown watery. Ive been feesing her a lot of cucumbers and mealworms as well as her feed.
Just had a baby quail hatch out and it was taking a long time. External pip in pm on day 16, hatched early day 18. It looks like it's anus was stuck to the shell or too dry and ripped out out him. He now has two "butt cheeks" sticking out of him. No blood. Any suggestions? Attached pictures.
Hi, I recently ordered 32 bantam day old chicks from a hatchery online of various breeds, and when I recived then I noticed a few had pasty butt so I cleaned it off, I then noticed one of the chicks had a prolapsed vent. (I am unsure as to the sex of this bird and don’t know if this would lead...
Hi guys.. really need some help and advice. I have been raising an abandoned chick around 3 weeks of age. She was abandoned by her mother and I couldn't leave her alone. I live in Singapore and the only chickens we even have around here are wild junglefowl. Tracking down chicken feed proved to...
So I had a good hatch of 9 quails and then today a 10th one came out, its really weak but looks like she is breathing fine and starting to try to move around but she has some stuff on her backside. The vent has a pink almost organ/placenta looking thing with some blood next to it (or something...
I can’t post pictures yet.
Anyway this is how the story goes.
So I was going to a local town to buy some fish, and there is this 7-eleven I like stopping at on the way over. I like stopping there because there are these chickens running around that are mutts. The other day I saw what looked like...
Hi! I'm going to cut right to the chase here. My father works in the city and found a baby pigeon today. From what I can tell from looking online it's about 3 weeks old. My mom does not want to take it to a vet..What do I feed it?
Basically I'm the only one really willing to raise the pigeon in...
