    ARE MY DUCK EGGS ALIVE?

    Hi! I found an abandoned duck nest and saw the dead mom so I decided to take the eggs that were unharmed and try to hatch them. I built an incubator and am doing my best to keep the temperature and humidity right. I candled them and am not sure if they are alive or not. They look like they could...

    Help! Heat and seizure Cornish cross

    One of my rooster Cornish cross just seizured and died in my arms. From noticing when he wasn’t moving much to getting him in his own box with food and water to when he died was less than five minutes. Could the heat have killed him? All my chickens have water, shade, and food. He was panting...

    Peacock suddenly dies within 12 hours :(

    One of our juvenile peacocks suddenly died today this morning. He was completely fine yesterday, and able to fly onto his perch, but today as I went out to let my flock out he was just on the ground, dead. His head was resting on his back, he was in a resting position on the ground. No slime in...

    Regarding the End

    I was just lying here in bed, getting up the energy to get up and let my flock out, and a strange and possibly morbid thought came to mind. What do you all do when your chicken dies? Do you bury it? Cremate it? Heaven forbid: cook or trash it? I find myself very interested to hear what you guys...

    High Temp for too long. Will my chicks still hatch?

    Hi, I have about 7 quail eggs in my incubator but I'm worried they won't hatch. I made the incubator myself so we have to regulate temp ourselves. We do that just fine and we have never went too high or too low but one day I was out for a while and no one else was at home and the incubator was...

    What could have killed my chickens?

    Hi so I’m not new to raising chickens. I’ve “raised” them when I was 5-9 and got some chicks at Tractor Supply Co last spring. I got Orpingtons and Rhode Island Reds. They are all hens. But 2 days ago I went to go let them out of their run to free range and saw I only had 2 of my hens, both the...

    Went to my chicken coop in the morning and saw my favourite hen stone dead... Please help

    So last week one of my hens started shaking her head and had seizures. It looked like she wanted to clear something out of her throat. She did this several times a day. She had gotten a bit better but now in the morning I opened the door to her coop and I realized she did not come out. I looked...

    Where do Raccoons put heads?

    I know the title is a bit unsettling, and maybe you are wondering why I'm asking this. Here's the story: So, basically, my chickens got attacked. At night. By a Raccoon. It was no doubt a Raccoon, I checked security footage, and the killing style was basically a raccoon signature attack-- reach...

    Duckling mass death diagnostic

    Hello BYC, I hate to have to write this message out because I'm bordering on crying. 7/7 ducklings that made it to hatch have died shortly after hatching. Important information: *The eggs were from young birds, they had only been laying for a few months. They were small, to the point that...

    Opossum Playing Dead

    Dog and I went to close up barn shortly after dark. We were also to get eggs left in basket. Opossum about 2/3 grown was walking about in a pen. It was likely already stuff on most of the eggs in the basket. It was the fattest and furriest opossum I have ever seen. Dog walked over to it in...

    Silkie hen went for a swim. . . frozen.

    Yesterday I came home from work and found my free range silkie hen in the goat water bowl. It was in the 30s yesterday. Her head was dry. I am guessing she fell in and could not get out. It is one of the rubber bowls that are about a foot deep. I have never had one fall in that I am aware of...

    All but one died

    Sorry for the morbid title, but I came home today from a short trip to 4 of 5 of my ducks laying dead in the backyard. I had 4 pekins and 1 mallard. They were about 4 months old and just started to lay eggs two days ago. We had someone watching them while away, but it seems overnight they...

    Chick died, leaving friend alone

    We have 4 grown hens and got 2 babies (Red and Coco) in June. We were in the process of integrating, letting them all free range together during the day and putting them in separate coops at night. Last night we finally put them all in the same coop. I opened the door bright and early so they’d...
