Edit: thanks so much for the advice, now that it’s daylight we think she hurt her head on the fence, and will be putting them back together today as well as changing the type of fencing! :)
Thank you so much for all of the advice on what to feed Rudie! So sorry you lost 8 out of 10 of your chicks :( Your hen sounds like such a special girl, and she is so lucky to have you caring for her :) hoping her molt finishes up soon! I’ll let you know how Rudie does with the special mix...
We rescued an abandoned duckling in a nearby lake, and her charming personality has made us have a whole new love for these feathered friends! She is cuddly and loves to follow us around, I highly recommend raising ducks if you’re looking for a loving companion. They need to be kept with other...
So happy to hear that your sweet girl is still with you a whole year later! What do you mix into her wet mash (is it oregano, sunflower seeds & bird feed)? And do you mean adding electrolytes into her water? Thank so much for all of your help, relieved that there is hope for our feathered friends :]
My dear hen Rudie is suspected to have Marek’s Disease (our vets opinion). She started with an impacted crop which I helped heal, and things seemed back to normal for her until one of her legs gave out. Tumors were found in her abdomen and she has days where she can get around slowly and others...
