    Whats wrong with my rooster??

    Unfortunately he passed today, i had brought him inside to care for him and warm him up , i was giving him electrolyte water, and this morning he was barely moving, and he died shortly ago ☹️ i will definitely do what i can for ventilation, i dont want anything else to happen to any other birds.

    Whats wrong with my rooster??

    Its a gazebo with windows and a door, i do not know the temp in there but its not extremely hot , i can step in there and it feels pretty comfortable. Thats good to know about ventilation, i could maybe crack a window to it if its not enough?

    Rooster behavior

    I hope I’m uploading this in the correct thread.. I had posted about a little mixed rooster on here a while back wondering his species, well let’s just say I’m on the verge of wanting him gone. I live with my brothers and dad still, and none of them have any issues with this rooster. However he...

    dead eggs outside nest

    generally the other ducks have no access to them during nights and when they’re outside the coop the mom and babies go off on their own, so that’s why i think if it was a coop mate that it was a chicken.

    dead eggs outside nest

    they all reside in the same coop but the mom and the babies have been sleeping in her nest which is inside a big cage. i found the baby outside the nest, the only thing i think i could see injury wise was the eye looks like it may have been poked out but it was hard to tell. i usually let them...

    dead eggs outside nest

    she got off the nest this morning to get some water and i checked with a flash light and all 5 eggs seem to be fertile and hopefully close to hatching soon (forgot to mention we found out she had two more) most of them the air pocket in it was at a slant.

    i just checked and there’s no babies yet, i found one that died previously that was burried in the hay but all the eggs are still under the mom. i have no clue if the eggs she’s on now are even fertile :(

    dead eggs outside nest

    our females are all rouens. we had two broody moms in a cage we had left in the coop they decided to make nests in it, 3 babies hatched and were dead upon finding them, we came to the conclusion it’s likely the other mother who killed the babies so we took the one who lost her babies out and...

    dead eggs outside nest

    i’m so distraught! today i checked the coop and found two seemingly normal eggs on the ground, one was broken with green inside so i assume rotten.. then i spotted one that had a red hue and another with what looks like a pecked hole and blood and black feathers! they’re nowhere near any nest...
