it’s the liquid and I gave them one teaspoon per gallon. I just read that maybe I should be giving them 2 teaspoons per gallon.
No I have not put any other supplements in their water.
I had 3 chicks die the night before last night. When I found them they all had signs of blood coming from their rectum. I took the 5 other chicks out immediately and put them in a safe place until I could figure this out. All of them are about 4-5 weeks old and all of them have a bloody...
This thread is very interesting. I’m considering this for a few roosters that have to go. They are mean. My question is (and this may sound dumb or silly) but you just plop and semi processed chicken in their dinner bowl? 😬
Oh I wished I had seen this before we culled her. I actually just got this now and it said you responded yesterday. ☹️
That’s so strange especially since I kept looking to see if anyone had any ideas. Thank you for reaching out to me.
I believe my pekin duck has a prolapsed vent. I don’t know how long she has been like this I’m not sure exactly what I should be doing?? Is there hope for Waddles? Help me please ☹️🙏🏼
Thank you for this great reference. This is probably my 5th time hatching call ducks but every time I do it I feel like a newbie. Just one question; do you do the safety hole as soon as you see an internal pip? I feel I should especially since it’s almost 2:00 am and I am not sure of how long...
I have mine penned in but with an opening so that they can free range. It’s like a small maze I made with the fence. Instead of connecting it I made a passage go into another passage. It seems to be working for now. I have fox, coyotes and the neighbors dog 🙄 to worry about. I hope this helps...
Ok I will try tomorrow to get a video. I have him on the other side of the farm in the horse barn. He isn’t using it at all at this point. He can kind of get in and out of his house to get a little air but then he just scoots his way back in. He’s using his wind to make up for the foot. I feel...
Hi, I have a 5 yr old Pekin duck and I believe he has a broken leg, he cannot walk. This morning I caught my chickens attacking him and it broke my heart. Will placing a splint on his leg help him or is that a selfish thing to do? Any suggestions? Thanks
I’m trying to figure this all out. It’s a little overwhelming right now because I need to get answers but I think I placed my question in the wrong place. ?? I clicked on start a new thread then I placed it in raising baby chicks. I think I should have put it in the emergency thread. How do you...
I have a 1 day old duckling with what seems to be a hernia and a splayed foot. Her hatch wasn’t the greatest, I actually thought she was going to die before this morning. When I opened the incubator I was pleasantly surprised to see her bouncing around. I then noticed that the egg was still on...
