Ended Poultry and Pals Photo Contest—Official 2024 BYC Mini-Contest

Kitty with one of the ducklings. This little baby was about 4 weeks old when she suddenly became paralyzed. After several weeks of hydrotherapy, leg stretches and spinal healing, she took her first steps. We figured she somehow had a spinal injury with swelling. We couldn't afford a vet so I called them for advice and turned to online for help. Kitty was instrumental in helping her walk, she would get behind and push her with her nose to make her move. The duck turned 4 years old on 8/4/24. She has no signs of having ever being paralyzed.

Pidge (far right) learned the downsides of escaping the pen when a flock of wild turkey poults rolled through. The poult standing next to the solar charger chased Pidge when she got in its way. 😂

*NOT AN ENTRY*
Those poults had no manners: they chased an old lady in her yard, and they rubbernecked through someone else’s fence!
