Hen is approx 4-5 years old. Breed unknown I obtained her ~ 2 weeks ago I picked her up today for some cuddles and felt something hard. I flipped her over and saw this. Is it possible for a chicken to get bumble on there stomachs?

Unknown age Found today in between a hay bale and sidewall Walks like she's drunk Feels like she has a water balloon under her near her vent, the area feels hot to the touch When I sit her down she slowly lowers herself in a roost position and then rolls over onto her side Seems to be breathing...

Daffy has been sitting on a dozen eggs and I'm getting a bit concerned that they haven't hatched or even pipped yet. Her oldest egg was laid 4/1/2023 and her youngest was laid on 4/12/2023. She had older eggs, that I removed, so she has been committed even before 4/1 egg was laid. I thought we...

I know my inexperience, ignorance, and just plain stupidity put Daisy (Silver Appleyard drake) in this situation, so please don't try to make me feel any worse than I already do. Daffy, a Muscovy hen, is sitting on a nest of 12 eggs dated 04/01/2023 and forward. I know; I should have stayed on...

So my SO and I broke down Daffy and Daisy's old house and run a week ago. While I was doing clean out I noticed these bugs everywhere underneath the bedding in the house. The house was made out of wood, 2x4s and plywood specifically, and painted with exterior paint. I did not see these bugs...

Hey yall, are there any sure fire ways to tell between drake & hen hinnies? They all have such a mixture of both momma's & daddy's characteristics & behaviors. One (smaller one) is in the process of finding their voice. The other two (bigger ones) are still peeping. The smaller one got it's...

As some of you know I was quite excited about my rescued baby girl laying her first eggs and me struggling with not letting her be a Mom yet. Also, in Oct/Nov I discussed briefly that my Daddy had been diagnosed with cancer and that was the last I posted since. Unfortunately I lost my Dad three...

I'm pretty sure Daisy has bumblefoot happening but after soaking in warm Epsom Salt yesterday for 30 minutes, I went to remove what I thought was a scab on each foot, it started bleeding and he was jerking his foot away. Can I get a confirmation from yall on if this is indeed bumblefoot and...

I'm concerned that Daisy is hurting Daffy while mating. I don't know if the results pictured below of Daffy's caruncles is normal/expected injury or is the result of Daisy being too aggressive in action and frequency of mating with her. When he mates her on the ground, he is always grabbing her...

Hey, can someone tell me what is happening to Daffy's leg and if this is something to be concerned about? It happens more towards the end of the video, kind of like her legs buckle. Breed: Muscovy (Hen) Age: 6 months Mating: Yes, for the last month Looked through past videos and seems as if this...

I am a brand new duck mom as of 6 months ago when I found a 1-2 day old Muscovy in the middle of a road, and now my baby girl has laid her very first egg !!!!!!! More to come later as I am so daggum excited I don't know what to do first. I've texted my Dad, my son, and my step-daughter and now...

I have a Muscovy hen (Daffy) and SA drake (Daisy), both of which turned 5 months old 4 days ago. Daisy has been successfully mating with Daffy for 10 days now and I am concerned that even though Daisy is "ready," Daffy seems to now be offering herself by flattening herself for him, that perhaps...

Just finished building our (temporary) duck run and I have a few questions I would like to get other opinions on. 1. Should I cover the whole floor with bedding? My thought process was at the end where you don't see the bedding is where they're drinking water and a small kitty litter pan for...

New/unplanned/neurotic duck mom here, still working on my introductory post so I apologize in advance. I am wondering what these orange things are, coming out of my SA duckling's tail feather region. Today is the first day I've seen them and I don't see them on my Muscovy duckling. I don't...
