I have a broody Pekin laying on approximately 9 eggs. She removed & destroyed 2 but they may have been unfertilized. To set the scene: Mama chose to nest in the lower level of chicken coop that has its own gate, which is inside the main pen for 4 other ducks + 6 chickens, so they are safe in...

Two days ago, I found my pekin with a bad limp in the morning. I saw she is missing a toenail on her outer toe & the whole toe is swollen. No one area of her toe is more swollen than the rest except for maybe the very end where the nail was. I didn't see any blood anywhere and it doesn't appear...

She began putting more weight on her leg during second week but then had a very exaggerated wobble. She also began laying around more often. Another...

My 1& half year old DaphneDuck passed away overnight & I'm trying to figure out what may have been the cause. I have 8 others that I don't want to lose if something contagious! It all started about 1 month ago. When I brought them in for the night, she was not interested in eating mealworms...
