I have another update!
VetRX cured my baby girl! She is no longer coughing! However, my males must have caught her cough but I am treating them with the same medicine twice a day and have been since this weekend so that should cure them too. I definitely recommend it for anyone experiencing the...
I'll have to check around to see where I can find some, but I will definitely change over! My biggest worry is that I don't know what has caused this and I'm worried about losing my babies... Their brother passed suddenly a month ago. He had hip dysplasia and was struggling more than normal, but...
I have an update for you all!
So my female runner has been coughing less, however the second I let her out to forage she started up again! To make matters worse, I noticed my male runner also coughing slightly. I'm worried that maybe it's their coop? I noticed it is a bit dusty in there and...
See we've just had a rainy period here too and it's started to clear up, finally! I ordered some VetRX poultry aid that had good reviews so I will try that. If there is no change after a few days I will contact the vets. I will also see if I can get some oxine!
So last night she had stopped making the noise. However, the second I let her out of the run to forage on the grass she started up again! She is the only one out of the flock doing this.
Hi everyone!
My almost 3 year old runner duck Hannibal was making a weird sneezing sound today when I let the flock out. They were foraging together and I kept noticing she was making this weird sneezing sound. I picked her up and gave her a check over. She had nothing in her nostrils, nothing...
Hi everyone!
A few years back I posted about a runner duck of mine called Frances. He was born with a limp, which after a vet appointment we discovered was caused by hip dysplasia. His vet said it was the first time she had seen it in a duck. If it was a cat or a dog they would perform a hip...
Hi all, this is my Cayuga duck Iris. Today I noticed a bump on her cheek, which at first I thought it was just a few ruffled feathers. However, once I got a hold of her I felt the bump and it is quite hard. Obviously I'm concerned as I've never experienced this before and I have no...
I did actually explain in my other comment that I thought oyster shells were the same as grit, but that we do give our flock oyster shells.
I think the protein is 17%? I can't find the mill date though. My cayugas have started to lay now so it's just the runners and chickens.
Hey all!
So I think I may have asked this question before, but what does this weird creaking sound mean?! I finally caught a video of Frances while he was grooming and you can clearly hear the sound. However, my other runners make the same sound when they're just standing in the coop! Any ideas?
