They are still eating and drinking and I did see him trying to breed one of the girls today. But somthing is off with him.

Please help! For the past week or so, my Cayuga (7 months old) has been breathing through her mouth. She hasn't been lethargic, and she doesn't stray away from the other ducks like she would if she were sick, so we thought it would go away in time. Today, her wheezing has gotten worse, and she's...

Hi all! I have an ayam cemani hen that is only a little over a year old. About a month ago, she started being the last hen to come in after free ranging. I’d usually have to go find her and pick her up to bring her over to the coop. She was still walking around at this point, but weirdly easy to...
I have a two week old chick that I have been doing everything I can think of for. I’ve been reading so many other posts but figured I should just write my own.
For context my father passed away in November and he had a flock of chickens that needed rehoming so me and my siblings took them on. We...
I was checking on my chicks and found 2 out of 4 of them dead in their little area. when I was trying to figure out what caused their deaths thinking it might have been to hot I find clear slimy bubbly liquid in their mouths and its flowing out of one but the other had it in the back of their...
Hey there, I have a female buff duck, almost 2 years old, who recently has started acting strange. We first noticed that when the flock would venture to the neighbors yard she would stop walking, drop her wings and wanted to be carried back to our yard. This is very unusual as our ducks do not...
Ok, so on Sunday we bought two new Isa Browns that we were told are both 10mos old... One of them is in great shape, full plumage, bright red comb and wattles, drinking, eating, etc. The other one... she looks like she's been through it.
It was our first time buying chickens from anyone, and...
Hello all, I’m back, though unfortunately not under better circumstances. Another one of my hens, 3 year old Barred Rock Luela, seemed to contract a mysterious illness. Over the course of last week, she seemed to slow down and not keep up with the flock as usual. I didn’t think much of it...
5 month old hen fine this morning, eating and drinking fine, gave an egg this morning.
Now she's making this horrible noise, see video.
Doesn't seem to be distressed, still eating and drinking. Just this awful sound.
Is there anything we can do to help her, and does anyone know what might...
I have 7 chickens (6 hens and 1 rooster), Richard the naked necked rooster has always been super docile and never given me any issues or tried to harm any of the hens. I just got a female pekin from a bad home and when I went to introduce them he just started attacking her with his beak and...
My little brother recently went to a farm house with my dad. It’s owned by a friend of my dad’s. While there, he saw them killing runt baby chicks. (know it’s runt because he asked why are u kill killing them and they said it’s because the chicks were too small.)
My brother originally picked...
Hi all!! This is my first post on BYC but i have been using the site for some time to look up concerns etc. We recently adopted 5 production reds and one of them came to us with a droppy comb and watery droppings. I had no clue what was wrong, she was laying fine, eating fine. A couple weeks ago...
Im new to incubating Muscovy duck eggs and I made a lot of mistakes that forced me to help assist the ducks. They were a day overdue with no external pip after internally pipping for 19 hours. Two of them just hatched but they looked injured. The area has less feathers, and it looks like a dent...
Hello, so recently one of my hens have been sick I believe it has been due to a crop issue. She’s been doing okay I’ve been giving her olive oil, vinegar water mixture, not too much but enough to do something and I’ve been syringe feeding it to her. and I also gave her yogurt with probiotics...
On my duck eggs it looks like their this weird design that almost makes it look lines are on the egg. I candled them and some had air sacks and others I couldn't see through the shell. I am just wondering if I completely screwed up and killed all the eggs.. please help
