Hi all, I am getting a vitamin supplement for our chickens as one is starting to curl it’s toes and I’m going to try that out. It goes in the water and I don’t want to cause an issue for the ducklet. Thank you! Sorry if this is a silly question.:D
it's been a whole day and a chicken i have is barely pooping at all. it would do the movement that chickens do when they do it, like when they raise their wings a bit and extend their neck momentarily, but then nothing would come out
it sleeps in a high place so the feces fall to the ground and...
Hi! Had a quick question as this is my first time raising chicks and I don’t know wether to be concerned or not. One of my 2week old chicks got a little too excited about the herbs put in their brooder and horked down about a 6in stem of oregano (they had to yank it out of its little pot to do...
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...
I’ve been looking at it for awhile now, but I can’t really tell. I don’t believe there is any, but there seemed to be some earlier, so I want to make sure just in case. Any help is appreciated!
-She is one and a half years old
-She is a Pekin duck
-She’s only been eating Manna pro duck feed...
I have three two months old call ducks inside (too hot to transition). Outside I have an older Blue swedish, and three roughly one year olds: a magpie, a Welsh harlequin and a silver Apple Yard. I was only intending on keeping one of the call ducks however I was just informed that she will...
recently brought a new hen, it's been approximately two weeks. it so far has been sleeping only in very hidden corners, and the place it decides to sleep in is somewhat dangerous because it's nearby some electrics. it's very quick so I can't catch it while it's awake so I go and catch it when it...
I bought my rooster from day one, always been friendly, that's why it was such a surprise that one day it decided to just become aggressive towards myself and everyone else. it was by itself for a long time (not anymore tho) I tried to introduce other chickens but things never really worked out...
recently my dad bought a hen from a friend and I tried to convince him to keep them separate for a week or two but he insisted that the person he got it from was trustworthy so we just added it to the only other chicken which is a rooster. Today in the morning after the rooster started crowing...
I bought a small chick one day and months later it is now a fully grown chicken. throughout that duration I was talking to a friend of mine online who claims to be experienced in terms of raising chickens and just farm stuff in general. earlier on into the chicken's life, said friend told me...
I rescued some baby gosling eggs a couple weeks ago, and had one hatch Sunday night. After about 12 hrs of no progress but still breathing I decided to go ahead and help assist it. I removed the top portion and they were able to get out on their own, yolk sac absorbed. We named this one Meadow...
This isn't anything urgent and I just want to ask. How do you deal with salmon faverolles during summer? I'm a bit concerned as it isn't summer yet and one of our faverolles was panting in the coop. Outside she isn't panting but I can't imagine the swelter that's going to be inside that coop...
My dad put fertilizer on the grass and some plants yesterday, I brought my chicken in after I saw that. He didn’t check the weather to see if it was going to rain and it said it won’t rain until Saturday. Is it safe for my chicken to go outside? All morning I’ve been watering the grass and the...
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...
Hello, can anyone help me out with identifying what these blue clusters are in this egg white?
This egg was laid by our only cream legbar hen. She is 8 months old. As with her breed the egg shell is a sky blue color; similar to those clusters. This has happened only once before with her. She...
Is there any way I can easily clean up and look after my duck when she lives indoor and often stays on a bed without having to constantly buy dog diapers for her?
It’s hundreds of dollars a month just for her dog pads and that really isn’t working out when she needs food, treats, and toys...
She’s been eating tomatoes and eggs for awhile now, but the color of her poop seems to be getting slightly darker? I think.
Is poop like this normal for other ducks after they eat tomatoes and eggs too? Is this logically healthy or is this a warning of some kind?
Thank you!
