I have a female king quail who today I noticed was being picked in by her male. He’s always been super sweet so I don’t know what got into him, but she’s a bit roughed up. While I was checking her out, I noticed both her eyes seem to be a bit strange, it almost looks like the top eyelid has been...
I’ve noticed this while watching her, but sometimes she seems to have a hard time pooping. She’ll poop about half of it then stop for some seconds and poop the other half out after. Please help, any help would be greatly appreciated. Is it serious?
-She’s a Pekin duck
-She is a year and a half...
My duck really needs a proper, sufficient duck feed again, but the previous duck feeds I ordered didn’t pass the border because it contained “meat.”
Does anyone know if duck feeds like Purina duck feed is allowed into Toronto’s borders? Any advice would help, thank you!
This is the second time it’s happened. This happened once awhile back, but we believed it wasn’t a very big deal since it was the first time it’d happened and nothing showed up online. She seemed fine and she does now too, she doesn’t seem particularly unwell after pooping this, so we’re not...
I am new to incubating chicks and had a first batch come out decently so I am on a 2nd batch now. Its almost lockdown time but when I went to check the eggs that were alive almost a week before, half of them were not developed almost since then. The eggs were accidentaly stored blunt end down...
My chicken is suffering from lower adomal bloating. Her whole lower abdomin is severely bloated, and feels like a balloon full of air. She is normaly a relatively skinny chicken but now wattles when she walks. Other then the bloating she seems pretty normal and doesn't seem to have other issues...
She eats well and drinks well. She has snacks like tomatoes mixed with eggs once almost daily, but often a few times everyday. She eats Manna Pro Duck Layer Pellets everyday as her main feed with calcium being high. She’s usually quite lively and messes around a lot. Her poop is usually okay...
I have a 2 year old Ameraucana who would leave me a pretty green egg each day. She hasn’t laid in about 4 days but I find her in the nesting box each day- but no egg. All of my other hens lay brown eggs so I’m not confusing her eggs for another or vice versa. I’ve had a broody hen and she’s not...
It's a batch of 4 turkey poults that are 6 days old. They hatched with some other chicks. They all seemed to be doing fine, everyone looked okay although I haven't closely examined all of them yet. Today my father notices one of the turkey poults seemed to have his leg stretched out behind him...
Hey everyone, first time ducky mummy here!
I've never hatched anything before and have been a panicy mummy this whole time! We have 6 cayuga eggs (which we're unsure if anything is happening with them) and one mallard, which was laid by a wild duck and abandoned so we tried to incubate. She's...
25 chicks hatched!! Yay. Hoping more do. See a few have pipped. One is trying to break shell.
After 2 days of being hatched, it was time to pull a few out.
Yay!!!
Our americana, Pudding, spat up this weird foggy brown substance today. i went into the coop today to check on a previously injured chicken who miraculously healed suddenly and i had gone to pick Pudding up while in there. i’m holding her on my side and she suddenly just drools out this foggy...
Hi,
I'm incubating Coronation and Light Sussex's, Plymouth Rocks and Silkies and I believe that my incubator has stopped turning the eggs... for about a day... maybe? Will the chicks still be okay?! They've been in the incubator for about a week. How many times a day will I need to manually turn...
I have 7 chicks and 5 of them are growing nicely but 2 of them are way behind (about half the size as the rest) And one of them seems a lot less energetic I separated the 2 smaller ones out but they are still alive at 4 weeks old so I’m assuming they are eating and drinking so just a little...
My chick is hopping. Won’t put weight on other leg and it is starting to twist round more. It can move its toes and seems healthy otherwise. Any advice?
There isn’t a lot of information out there about mycoplasma, or chronic respiratory disease in geese and ducks other than vague descriptions that are often copy pasted from few sources, so I thought I’d post a useful article I found about it...
We have a broody chicken who we are hoping to be able to use to raise some chicks. We haven't ordered the chicks yet as we hope to first move her to a dog crate on the ground where it's safer for her and the chicks. Last night we tried moving her, however, this morning when we went to check on...
