➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

She just came here today. She wasn't laying at her other home, but all 3 of her flock members were killed and taken by a raccoon. So I'm hoping she will adjust here.

That was stress enough to cause a stoppage. It is also possible that she just wasn't ready to start laying yet. My older hens tend to start laying a little later each year as they age.

No.

Okay

Here's pics of Ol Red. We inspected her really close today and noticed a few things


Help on what this lump might be... We have sterile everything here to do anything we need to do. I put oil on her legs this morning because I think she has scaly mites.

Not sure if this injury is from the raccoon attack or not... Im going to do an Epsom salt soak with her later on.

Here's what she looks like. I think she's so pretty

No idea... I've never dealt with it. I didn't see a scab or anything. It's like a lump though. She has 2 other smaller ones on her other foot. I was hoping Epsom soak then colloidal silver would help if it's an infection.
