Another update: they had another one and actually told me to keep both. So I went and got the other duck. She seems to be a female and not as bad of shape.

So update- someone on my road claimed him. Said their other ducks have been bullying them. I said he's fine here if you're looking to rehome him anyway, but if you want him back I'm here. Hoping they just say keep him because he does look to be in rough shape to be honest. My husband said I...

Do they still look like a mille fleur d'uccle? The other is 100% an OEGB

I woke up at sunrise to let my animals out and feed everyone. My kids are yelling mom a ducky! I'm like oh cute my neighbors got a duck decor thing. Well it starts moving 😂 frantically trying to get through the fence into my yard! Calling to my ducks lol! My ducks are quaking back I went into my...

Curious if she recovered well? I'm dealing with a very ill chicken and suspecting coccidiosis as well. Looking for any positive stories so i stop worrying.

She does not seem to be improving. If anything worsening today. Maybe from lack of eating but seems weaker. Her poop is bloodier and more liquid. Is there anything else I can do or do I just expect her not to make it through the night? I feel so terrible for her.

The 2 that passed showed no signs of any respitory issues. Just lethargic puffy feathers and then passing very quickly. Within a matter of days. The second actually improved for 3 days then died quickly in the am when I let them out.

She hatched January 5th. They had some type of respiratory issue back in Jan when they were in the brooder. They healed up quickly and were fine. I recently got 4 chicks They are 6 weeks old. 2 passed away quickly one last week one 2 days ago. They had similar symptoms. Isolation, puffy...

This young pullet "splashy" has been ill for a few days now. Lethargic isolating herself and puffy feathers. Not eating much. Yesterday had Watery bubbly eye discharge so I chalked it up to a respiratory and quarantined her. Now this am has bloody stool. Which I thought is cocicidia? I have...

Edit to add- my chickens had a respiratory infection a few months ago. Treated with the tiagard and all of them improved. The 2 that passed did not show symptoms of respiratory infection. However my original flock member that's acting off is now having bubbling from te eyes again. I am treating...

I had gotten 4, 4 week old amerecaunas from a friend. They were in a separate cage in the coop for 3 weeks but my flock was able to stick their heads in and try and peck their food. I realize now that was a mistake and will properly quarantine from here on out. However, I have a serious issue...

First time with ducklings! I've raised chicks many times and realizing a chicken set up brooder is not the best for ducks lol. Messy little things! Any tips and photos of your brooder set ups for ducklings? Any other advice is appreciated. They're in a separate brooder than chicks. And...

I had a great first hatch! Day 21 was Saturday March 30th today is April 1st. I candelled and don't see any movement or veins. One is much lighter than the other two. Can I pull them out now or should I give them another day or so?

My husband got me a surprise and brought home some ducklings and 2 bantams. I have a special needs chicken who can't go with the normal flock (cross beak and stunted growth) so the bantams will be their friends 🙂 anyhow, what do these look like? I thought one looks like a mille de fleur but I...

1 fully hatched 5 pipping!

Thank you I have them in the far corner (Styrofoam incubator) I can quickly open it turn them and close it without temp or humidity dropping much at all. I'll do this then.

I had duck and chicken eggs together in the incubator I'm on day 19 I stopped turning yesterday I gently moved the incubator twice to get the duck eggs to roll and move to a new side so I didn't open the incubator. Is it OK to not turn the duck eggs until the chickens hatch? I obviously didn't...

I put the eggs in my incubator on March 9th around 4pm. Would I count March 9th as day 1 and then lock down will be tomorrow March 26th? Or, do I say March 10th was day 1 and March 27th will be day 18 and lockdown day and stop turning then? Thanks my first time hatching my own so exciting

Yeah I was thinking I'd have to get at least 2 of the largest runs. They'd still free range with me while I'm outside, but I'd have the security to be able to lock them up somewhere when I run errands or something. I have t posts lying around and some extra fencing. But my main concern is hawks.
