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?
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...

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...
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.
The big white ones are Pekin the smaller white one looks like a Runner Pekin mix maybe way to big to be call duck call ducks are 22 oz. The brown and white look kaki Campbell Pekin mix. The brown one is kaki Campbell.
If you know what you're doing you won't kill the chick. It is mostly a myth that if you help a chick it will die. I've had to hatch almost every hatch because ducks get so shrink-wrapped. None have been too weak to thrive at all. If you see blood vessels you stop yes you could easily kill a...
