    Wry neck and risk for drowning

    My 2 week old Silkie chick has wry neck and I’ve separated her from the main brooder. I put in a water feeder along with her food, but her lack of balance due to wry neck has led her to fall into the water tray. She cant always get herself out so I decided the risk for drowning was too high...

    Newborn rabbits; handfeeding but not getting fat?

    Hello! This site has been magical to me before, so I wonder if I can ask about a non-related question. My eight-month-old doe gave birth to five kits, but her milk hasn't come in yet. It's her first pregnancy, she didn't build a nest or pull fur, just dropped them out all over the hay (luckily...
