Your chicken may have fly strike? Soak in salt water (epsom, Celtic) whatever and I used iodine and silver on the wound and pick each larvae out. I’m not saying it’s for sure fly strike but that’s what I did with my baby goose a few weeks ago. It had a wound that was bleeding with TONs of larvae...

Ok thank you!!

She just laid!!!! 🤍

Also can you post a picture of what it is.

Where can I get that medication? TSC?

This is day two my hen who lays every day has not laid. She is 1. She is really lazy as of today. Feathers fluffed. Drinking still. I put her in Epsom salt. She pushed but can’t get it out. She has pooped some in the bath. This is what her vent looks like, no egg yet. What do I do. Picture is...

Okay. Do you think the layer is too much protein for him?

They are on an organic layer feed. It’s hard to separate the food from my boy and girl. I give them lettuce, peas, sardines, cucumbers (not everyday but as a snack or treat). Occasionally dried grasshoppers and mealworms. But they always forage in my yard.

He’s fine now. I just get so worried about any little thing. Lol Like I constantly am worried they are going to choke on something even though I cut all their veggies tiny and give them an abundance of water. Why am I this way! Lol

random question… can ducks puke because they are too full? My pekin just puked up like 4 earthworms… I saw him eat a bunch outside… could he be too full? He was drinking water and started puking in the water. Poor kid lol I hate when he pukes. The only other time my ducks have puked is riding...

They are definitely happy! Haha

They are literally my life. I love them so much. I notice every little thing with them. I just worry. Like they are my kids. They bring me so much joy. They are coming up on 6 months. I believe they molted in the fall. Their feathers were doing really good til it got colder. I just don’t want...

I have noticed recently that both my male and female duck have been looking and getting really wet after bath time. Since it’s been cold, we limit outdoor baths, but it’s getting a little nicer (40 degrees) so I let them swim outside. We usually allow them in our bath tub every 1-2 days. We also...

My male Pekin was in the bath, I gave him lettuce, he just preened and oiled himself up for like 30 minutes and keeps yawning??? Is he ok? Hes been doing it for like 15 minutes. Im trying to post a video but its being a pain.

Mine do it too. When I notice he does it, I just slide my feet to walk around instead of taking actual steps. It usually doesn’t last too long. It’s so cute. I like to think they are playing 🤣🤣
