Yeah It was over 100f today and somehow she got trapped in a pit. I found her right after she died so she should be fine to eat. I have her in the fridge. Poor chicken

One of my young layer chickens got trapped in the heat and passed away. It's very fresh. I really don't want to waste the meat. Will sticking it into a freezing until I get home going to affect it?

Ducks do hiss. They will put their necks down and make a grunting hissing noise.

Yes. For those two but we always have a lot that needed homes. Are you interested in adopting?

Amazingly we posted on Facebook and got someone within 30 minutes! Good match with duck experience. I wish there were more people in this area (Austin). We have 4 in need of homes and 15 covy eggs in the incubator.

Our rescue was just contacted by somebody in Dallas who found two dumped female ducks. She lives in White Rock. She said the ducks have clipped wings and kids were chasing and beating them with sticks. She has them at her house but can't keep them permanently. If anyone could temporarily house...

Sorry forgot to say 15 minutes 3 times a day. We had 20 ducks, it was a nightmare.

I diluted the oxine and then put the diluted oxine in the humidifier then turned it on with a duck in a small closed tub with air. I would mist all of your flock these infections are very very contagious. I did about 15 minutes each. But it depends on how bad the infection is.

I would use diluted Oxine. It saved are ducks. We put them in a box and used a cool-mist humidifier and it worked great!. You can also mist the pen. Here is a good article on it https://www.shagbarkbantams.com/the-many-uses-of-oxine-ah-animal-health/

Just keep it clean. I'm attaching a video of a recent rescue we got. We think his head was run over by a bicycle on a hike and bike trail. His bill was split in half and his jaw slit up to his ear. If you look at the first video and then the update, you'll see how quickly it heals in one week...

It will heal. Ducks bills heal really quick.

Very very late here but that's not a mallard mix. That's a pure swedish.

2 Rouen and 1 kaki Campbell good luck!

We originally got 60% hatch rate for natural hatches. For our breed, that's considered good. Now that we help, we average 90%. All healthy. Many of our ducklings are breech and would die without assistance.
