I found the duckling. It froze to death in the bucket feeder.
The duckling went in, the food shifted, and it couldn’t get out.
I did know it was a possibility, but I totally forgot. I don’t think I’ll use auto feeders around babies again.
You know I feel awful about it.

I'm sorry to hear this. Poor baby

She ate some eggs, pooped on the floor, and was wormed. Vitamins are in her water.

Looks like a little shed intestinal lining maybe? and white can be a sign of dehydration. Have you given any Corid?

So sorry.

I couldn’t decide if Corid was a good idea or not.

A closer examination of the poo looked like worms. I wormed alone last night ( ) but Nurse Duckling helped tonight. Whew! So much easier!! Though she almost put the syringe down the chicken’s throat.
Plus, Cyndi had stepped in healthy poo!!! She is recovering!

Update pictures of the Ducks. I can not belive how big they are. And the 2 brown ones are males. They almost look like Mallards

So, how much snow are you all "supposed" to get??...then they say temps into the 50's?!?
I don't know if I trust all of this...
The snow around here has mostly melted..the bottom half of the mountains, but midway to tops are still coated.
Chickens are a bit happier about not having to touch the nasty cold-white stuff, but are still giving me the stink eye about the cold & wind..what am I supposed to do about it?!
Our Maran -chickadee, is still growing her tail in & the feathers on her head. You can see the shafts, looks like I took white paint and drew white lines on her head... She takes her foot & tries to scratch at them...are they itchy?
Has anyone asked their chickens this question?...haha, this is what happens when someone needs to go to bed..
Good night to all you night owls
