I have provided the nutritional facts about this certain brand, I was wondering if I could use it for a duckling, and if so, how to properly dose it, as in cutting the pills or something like that. Please help, one of my ducks seems to have niacin deficiency, so I want to get that sorted before...

First time incubating chicks and I just woke to the first one hatching, she was quite late about 22,5 days. Well first I was really ecstatic but after about half an hour I tried to go to sleep but I had to keep checking on her cause she kept falling on her back, I tried putting a fabric footing...

I already had a forum going for this but it hasn’t got much attention and this problem is still persisting. I have a baby chicken with a ruptured air sac which I have been treating for WEEKS now and it just isn’t healing. We went to a vet first thing and she said to just drain the air a few...

This flock of barred rocks are not yet a year old, but they have reached laying maturity and have been laying for a few weeks now. One of them had a poopy butt which I thought was normal because their was no evidence for vent gleet. Tonight I found a hen shaking underneath the coop's house/roost...

Hi all, my pekin/Aylesbury developed a limp around 6 days ago and there is significant swelling to the middle of her toe and what I would presume is the ‘ankle joint’. On her outer toe she had a little mark which was a small piece of thorn I have removed and the swelling has gone down on that...

Ducky had started to externally pip 24+ hrs ago and made some holes! When i could finally see his beak through the hole i noticed the membrane still covering most of it. I decided to peel back more of the shell and use a wet Q Tip to damp the membrane and move it so the duckling could breathe...

This girl has always had weird feet so we didn’t immediately catch this. Is it bumble foot? Her toe is swollen and the tip is basically black (she never had a normal nail on that toe so it’s not missing). She’s limping too. How bad is this? Should I rush her to a vet? Her feet are really...

For a few days now my girl Loretta has not been feeling well, I first noticed this when I saw her walking like a penguin, my first thought was egg bound however after doing everything for that it ended up not being that, then a group online said she had the classic symptoms for water belly, so I...

I have some Golden Wyandottes and one of them is sick. She is just over a year old She is the only affected bird in the coop Bedding is pine shavings and yard clippings I have her isolated They mainly eat Dumor layer pellets, with some grain scratch thrown into their yard sometimes. This...

I posted on here a few days ago about one of my hens that had stopped eating/drinking, laying, was lethargic, and was having watery yellow stool. This was a few days ago, she is still the same today. I was told to give dewormer and corid which i have done for three days now with no improvement...

The chicken is 2or 3 years old. She moves less than usual, and her wing can bend in odd directions and it is red and swollen. There is no bleeding. Even when she is frightened or jumping, she won’t use her wings. Does anyone know what I should do?

One of my chickens had this weird foam in her eye, the other was really swollen, and had a sort of mucus discharge coming out of it when i wiped it off with a clean cloth and room temp water. it looks scabby around her eye, and i thought it was poop at first which really concerned me. i...

So my 6 year old duck went broody, sat on eggs. One is hatching and it’s pretty chilly and rainy today. How long can she be gone and should I go get the baby? The nest is inside our duck coop. I have never hatched eggs before so I am panicking. Plus she is in with the general population since...

Hello! I’m posting this for a friend of mine, his chicken Bonnie (red sex link, 2-3 months), suddenly stopped walking. At first it was limping but now she just lays down unmoving. Sometimes she wakes up and is active but others she is very lethargic (like in the picture attached). He’s very...

I assisted my ducklings hatching and it is premature unfortunately however I've let the yolk absorb and kept it moist , I've also kept the duckling warm as much as i can , last thing I did was give it sugar water and reheated a disposable shirt. I don't have an incubator so I'm hoping this is...

My broody duck has laid eggs and has hatched out two ducklings so far, I’m concerned for their safety at night because of a rat infestation that recently occurred. I was wondering if I put them in the brooder for the night for their own safety, will she take them back in the morning? They’ve...

I want to preface this by saying I do not have the option to send him to a retreat. Due to Avian flu they are not excepting newcomers. We saved him because he mom was gone, even after searching. His leg was really busted aswell. Fast forward a day, and he ends up continually jumping up on his...

My 2 year old Buff Orpington is not acting normal. She is standing straight up, not moving much. I went out there to check on her and she stood still only took a couple of steps. She took one peck at the ground and continued to stay still. We even tried to give her a small piece of a strawberry...

Hi all, Just got two new baby chicks to add to our flock they are in the brooder and only four days old. One is thriving but I am becoming concerned for the other she is constantly sleeping and today has started showing minimal to no interest in food. I have given her some electrolytes in hopes...
