i got some duckling a few weeks ago I noticed one of them sneezing and has nasal discharge. I’m getting kind of concerned and I texted a vet tech I know, so we will see what she says but does anyone have any suggestions? Do I take them to a vet? Is there any at home remedies?
Today is day 29. The duckling piped yesterday but the pip never went all they way through. It only cracked the top layer of the egg and there was like a plastic layer. I noticed that the duck was constantly pecking at that plastic looking coat for over 12 hours. So I helped it and opened it a...
Hi. About two days ago I was gifted a baby chick, I named her hamlet. I set up her little place in a box with newspaper, water and rice (we didn't have any feed), hamlet just layed down and slept. Few moments later she started drinking water and became more alert, chirping loudly and ate some of...

HELP! I have a 10 day old duck who is looking quite unwell. I have encountered this before with my previous duckling, who died after about 5 or so hours, and symptoms include: at first, standing unsteadily - they often have to sit down; refusing to eat or drink; putting head down as if they...
I checked her butt for injuries, but I found nothing. I believe the blood is coming from the inside. I separated her from my other chicken and I sprayed Vetericyn on her butt. She is still acting like her normal self but she walks slightly slower because of the pain. I checked on her right now...
Hey y’all,
My chicken just started limping today and her foot is all swollen because of bumblefoot. I soaked her feet in epsom n water for 10-15 and I dressed her feet with antibacterial and gauze. It said that I have to pick out the black ’plug’ after the soak but I didn’t do that because it...

I was holding my chick to clean out it's brooder when I realized the chick's crop is extremely soft, I accidentally pressed a little too hard on it and he vomitted out a white-ish clear liquid. I searched online and the websites say my chick most likely has a sour crop. My mom doesn't allow me...
My 1 say old ducklings 3rd eyelid (the lid they use underwater) is stuck in the middle of his eye, this happened to one of my other duckling I was raising last year and he passed a few days after. He is acting normal right now, but I’m scared that he won’t make it. His water eyelid is also very...
Hello! My husband and I started our chicken family a year ago. We got our flock of 6 from a local store, which included sexed chicks. As luck would have it 3 of the 6 ended up being Roosters We kept all of them, one rooster is king of the hens and in a separate pen. The other two established...

Hello! My silkie rooster has an eye shut for a day now. He is healthy the other day and has no sign of any sickness. He grew up inside the house so he doesn't interact with other chickens.
