Hello! Im very new to taking care of ducks, we're not even sure of the genders yet. We just started moving the ducks outside in their coop every once in a while but other than that we've had them in our room with us as it's been cold and rainy lately.

Hey Everyone,
Long time lurker, new member and poster.

We have a young silkie hatched Feb 23 (now is March 13) and was in with a second one. She is now segregated. One morning (about 5 days ago) I went to check on them and she was laying down on her side and doesn’t want to use one of her legs so she kind of shuffled around and pokes it out on...
Hi!
I have a very sweet 3 year old female Pekin duck who seems to have a broken leg. She can't walk or stand on it at all, but I don't see any bones poking through or bruising. We have a storm here, so I think she may have gotten scared and hurt herself. I can't see or feel any swelling, and...

Hello everyone, o walked out this morning to see one of my girls laying on the ground, barley able to walk. When I looked closer her thigh was huge, a little smaller than a golf ball and hard. The skin around it was a purple pink color and she had a scab that was yellow. She showed no signs...
I have 8 chickens, all 5 1/2 months old. None have laid and egg yet. Last week my chicken stopped walking - we tried giving her epsom salt baths and she seemed a lil more peppy after each one, but now she lays with her one leg straight out and can’t sit up. Her leg doesn’t appear to be broken...
