help needed

Hello! Just after some advice on whether or not the veins in this membrane are to be left alone or if they are dead and I can move it back a bit. I don’t want to cause any unnecessary bleeding! This call duck is on day 29 now and my only (fingers crossed) survivor.

Hello! Please can I have advice for an expecting duck mum 😆 I feel stressed and worried about my eggs. Brought 6 Call duck eggs from eBay. All looked good when candling. Around day 7 one died it had the ring of death. Around day 18 another one appeared to of died too, the egg was mostly yellow...

Three days ago I noticed that my oldest hen named Brownie wouldn't/couldn't get out of the coop. She wouldn't use her legs. I thought she was dying (she just turned 9) and made her as comfortable as possible. Yesterday (day 3, stupid me) I checked her feet and it looks like bumblefoot. I need...

I need help with a limping hen. I have a hen who is a couple years old and she resently started limping. She has no signs of bumble foot or leg mites, and she doesn’t seem to have a physical injury. When she started limping i separated her and let her rest but it didn’t help. Her comb is still...

Hi all. So I saw this poop in my chickens’ coop tonight. I saw a similar one outside in their pen earlier today. It looks really black and I know in people, black poop indicates internal bleeding. Is this the same in chickens? Or is this poop within the realm of normal? Everyone is acting...

Our pekin duck recently has had less energy then usual. We made sure she wasn't having to much food and took her down to our pond for some excercise and she was doing slightly better. Today we went to go check her and realized her beak was swollen. We gave liquamycin to her today and made a post...

Hi! So I'm not a newbie to chickens, I've been raising them for around 6-5 years, but there is always new stuff I'm learning. I recently got 4 Delaware chickens for a show I'm raising them for. Now, they come from a hatchery, which is supposedly a good one (though the guy in charge never said...

(This is my first post on here and I hope I’m doing this right) Almost two moths ago an animal got in and attacked my two Peking ducks, Kevin, the male and Shia LaDuck, the female. We took them to the vet and they got patched up. Turns out after they were all healed up and given the ok to go...

I have 3 Cream Legbars that I got from a breeder last year. I only need 2 and will likely sell the third so I need some help! Which one matches with the SOP the best? Their tails are missing some because my Guineas like to be mean to them.

Hello Everyone! This is my first time incubating eggs! Technically it was my parents endeavor but I have been home from college and seemed to be the only one interested in researching the best incubating/ hatching tips! We've had chickens several times but never incubated any eggs (we...

Video (please ensure sound is up) Sorry you can’t see much,it would have disturbed them to shine a torch on them to light up the ducklings more (my lights are on inside but their container is in shadows) but to be isnt there isn’t much to see, it’s what you can hear. The duckling is in the...

I know this is the opposite of what most people would want, but I need a broody hen soon...Let me explain: At our county Fair, there are some awesome chicken hatching eggs that someone has offered to me. It will be too late to order an incubator, so I need a broody hen. How long can I leave the...

One of my Reds has a slightly swollen eye and is keeping it closed. She wants to be by herself, is losing her appetite, has developed a mild twitch, and is very lethargic. Can anyone offer help.

:yaHello everyone! Thank you for looking at this thread. I had so much trouble with my last 4 incubations. Never hatched once.:hit I found out my incubator was TERRIBLE. Giving wrong temps, and humidity, broken thermometer, and a power shortage. I now got a new, custom incubator! (Read my last...

Hello all I am new to the site. Figured I would tell my luck on raising ducks. About three years ago, my wife and I got 2 Peking ducks to raise (she has raised ducks prior, me never). We had a success with them and let them free range in our backyard, one night something dug under the...

I am in desperaate nead of help. I recently found my six month old easter egger pullet with a cracked and bleeding beak. The past week she had been acting very timid of people. I'm not sure if this is at all related to the beak. I think this just happened because I would have had to notice her...

my girl is just laying down letting them peck her! Why doesn't she get tough and fight back?! I don't know why she's at the bottom but she's been bald for months now. What should I do? I want her to be pretty again and left alone. Otherwise she's healthy and a good layer. Any ideas why her skins...
