Call Ducks or Bantams...Crazy Animals Around the Farm

[chickens really]

All flock with oyster shell and egg shell on the side. Gave some calcium carbonate today and they get vitamins in their water.
I figured out which one since she had a blow out last night - poo stuck down her backside. Just gave her a warm bath with Epsom salts and cleaned off the poo. She did not like it at all. I massaged her belly a little, but did not check inside the vent. I didn't feel anything externally. I think she's had issues for awhile. We would get double yolker and rough eggs with discoloration. I just didnt know who was laying them.
Also, her comb looks a little discolored, but it could just be dry.
She looks like a half drowned chicken right now.

Your doing a heck of a lot more that I would ever do for a Chicken. I Cull any sick Birds ASAP. Generally Birds can't be fixed.

I officially don’t like hatching ducks. Check him one more time and it had been a bit and no movement. Little bugger got 3/4 of the way and suffocated.

That super sucks
I'm the same way with geese eggs, only had 3 out of 12 hatch out, most of the ones that were almost out ended up suffocating as well. I think i'll just let my geese do the hatching for now on..

Sure does~! My worst hatch rate yet.. I think one of my geese might be going broody though.. So i'm really hoping I can just get her to incubate a few herself.

Aww that stinks

What breeds will you get the next time around?

Not sure exactly, but I like orpingtons, faverolles, Sussex, brahmas, and Easter eggers.

Yeah. I know.
I am going to give her a chance though as she is eating, drinking, etc. See how this goes and then decide soon if not.

Yes..I'm Crazy and I thought we confirmed that ? I hate tomatoes raw.....Icky things..

True not everyone likes tomatoes. I tried to convince a friend that she didn't like them because she had never had a real garden tomato. She tried one and said nope she still doesn't like them. Lol
