    What is wrong with this poor duckling?

    I recently had 4 ducklings suddenly appear in my covered pool. (The female Mallard had a hidden nest in my backyard bushes). They're probably less than a week old. All the ducklings are doing well- swimming, eating, preening, etc- but I noticed that one of them had 2 lumps on the front of its...

    Curved breast bone

    Does anyone know if this is normal? Their breast bone is curved.. The first picture was a chicken I had to cull because she had tumors. This morning I found one of my chickens dead in the coop and when I de-feathered her, she also had a crooked breast bone. I’m wondering if this is normal. I...

    Deformed egg

    Hi there! This deformed egg was in the nesting box this morning. It had blood on the outside and when I picked it up it was soft and yolk came out of if. It was quite small as well. Is this a corrugated egg? It’s the closest I can find but am not sure. Thank you!!

    Slightly Crooked Beak

    It's more obvious in person, but this 4 week old (ish) chick has a slightly crooked beak. The top and bottom still meet, but will this turn into something worse?

    Deformed wing

    Hello About 24 hours ago we hatched 7 chicks. Most were fine but one has a deformed wing. Normally I would just wait and see how it did. I already know some just die even when they look normal. I'm worried this time because it looks swollen. But I don't know if this is due to the deformity or...

    Chick with odd comb

    We have a 3 week old gold laced Wyandotte that is active, happy, and growing right along with other chicks, but comb seems to be missing?? Is that possible? Are we looking at a potential accidental cross breed from the hatchery? She/he seems to be fine otherwise.

    Was this chick born with a bad eye?

    I just hatched some chicks this past Saturday and today I realized that one of my chicks eye doesn't look normal... Sorry that the picture isn't very clear. He seems to be able to see okay but this eye also looks a little bit watery. Thoughts?

    Chicks just hatched, one is deformed? Will they make it?

    My 3rd incubation of the year just happened. And so far, it's mostly successful, especially compared to my last hatch. I still have a couple chicks hatching but two so far that have pipped have already died in the egg, unfortunately. Not too sure why, but one was quite sticky (again...). One...
