Thank you everyone for your help! So I'm glad to say that she has definitely improved, even from last night. I've been feeding her Gatorade (through a syringe) and tempting her with mealworms. Yesterday, she only pooped around twice, but today she's pooping regularly, emptying her water, and...
SAME! I have the weirdest looking mix breed of what we assume is a Frizzle-Silkie mix (with uncountable toes). He has knifes for spurs, chases his hens into a circle so none get lost, and has a 100% success rate on incubating eggs with his flock. It was so sad because I had an older chicken...
Guess that's true! Sometimes I wonder why they say all of us rednecks are in Alabama, have they been to Florida?? (Only in the Panhandle though, and some of Central...won't find many in Miami.)
And yep, I always get those two wrong! It's always those and you're and your sometimes (I have been...
Yeah, it hurts everything in me to hear her gasping, as she is one of the sweetest chickens you'll find. I really hope it does, and I don't know if her gasping getting quieter is good or not, but I might just wait till tomorrow night to asses it. I've just had so many chickens die throughout my...
Ok, just a tad bit of an update (family came in town for the holidays so I was forced to leave her). She pooped, which I was worried about because I didn't think it was egg bound but a friends suggested it might be. It's a solid poop from what I can tell, not pure liquid (just regular, and sorry...
I looked down earlier to see if I saw any gapeworms, and didn't see anything out of the ordinary. But I'm trying to do it again now that I know what else I'm looking for, but it may take a minute as she's definitely got her attitude back. Just a couple of minutes ago she didn't fight me when I...
I'm so sorry to hear about your turkey! I have some myself, but I've only had to deal with Mycoplasma with my turkeys, but I've heard it's common among them. Are the eye's normal? I didn't notice anything different about the stool of my turkeys when they had Mycoplasma, but that's my only...
Hi. So my about 3 year-old Blue Orpington (which I'm not sure is the breed, largely resembles them but got her as a gift) is suddenly gasping for air. I've been out of town for the past two days, and on the first I asked my mother to check up o my chickens and then a friend to on the second day...
Thank you so much for your help, and I do agree and think that getting rid of the males is going to be the only safe options for the female. Also, yes, blu-kote is a lifesaver! Thanks again!
Hello, I ordered a straight run of 4 ducklings around 6 months ago and 3 if the four turned out to be male. Now these ducklings are nearing laying time (or at least the female) and I don't know what to do with the males. All 3 if the males are amazing show ducks for my kids, sweet, and overall...
I absolutely love my runner duck! He is the sweetest duckling I have had so far, therefore I have really enjoyed this breed. He is growing to be a beautiful duck and definitely gets the least dirty of the ducklings (this is because he stands up tall, like runners do, which causes him not to have...
Yes, Cotton is the crested and is the sweetheart of the bunch! I love those breeds two, my first ducks were a cayuga and buff, and they were so pretty when they were grown! And, yes, that is the cutest name!
