Hello. I'm a pretty experienced chicken raiser but i've never had this problem. I have one flock of chicks (almost 2 months) and another flock that are about a month old. I tried to integrate them last night (never had a problem before) but I had a beautiful white creasted polish rooster who the...
Hi guys,
Soo coons (I think) got into my ducks last night 2 of them are gone (no trace) my drake is unharmed but my 4th one is in bad shape. Sorry this is detailed and sad.
One half of her head/skull is crushed in, her eye is destroyed and her face is mangled -on one side.
The other side is...

Hello. A month ago, I purchased a batch of unsexed silkie chicks, and three died, two of unknown causes (not eating not drinking), one from a different issue.

I woke up this morning to find one of my runner ducklings limping on his right leg and sat down every chance he gets! I'm worried he did something in the night or maybe slept on it wrong? I'm so unsure. I want this guy to survive as I only have four ducklings and he's such a sweetheart. When he...
Hes made it past the 48 hour mark of living but im still very afraid. Does he look like he'll be blind??? Weve been putting antibiotic ointment on him, is there anything else we can do??
