I would try giving her some poultry cell in her water. If it’s something like anemia this will help a lot. The coughing definitely is a symptom of cardiac problems like heart failure as fluid will start to leak and put pressure on the lungs
How has her poop been? And have you tried any medications? The purple comb is a good indication of a circulatory issue. It could be a mite infestation, worms, respiratory illness or cardiac related.
Thank you. And Yeah I keep them in usually for 24 hours though the ones affected were about a week old I keep them on flock raised but I suspect a possible deficiency such as niacin may be the cause so I gave them each some concentrated vitamin supplements and mixed some into the waterer as well...
And I hatched them all myself about a week ago. I’m not sure if the heat lamp got to hot or not but they have a pretty large brooder so they can move away from the heat if they need to
Their water in in the little brooder waterer from tractor supply. I gave it a thorough rinse with tap water and refilled it before giving it to them. I didn’t use any cleaning agents though
I have a brooder set up for a few day old turkey and some week old ducklings that I hatched. They were all doing absolutely amazing and I went to refill their waterer and about an hour later I have four ducklings and a turkey poult flailing around suddenly and rearing their head backs. The ones...
I’ve got these two turkeys and was told they were mixed. I’m curious as to what type of crosses they are or if anyone has an idea of what breeds they’re mixed with
I’m hatching a few of my duck eggs and I had this little one hatch two days ago. It pipped right on time but did seem to struggle completely freeing itself. This little one at three days old now is still smaller than a one day old silkie and less than half the size of the other ducklings that...
Thank you. I did crack one and saw no sign of any fertilization. Should I try trimming up my girls bottoms in hopes he’ll be able to successfully breed them better?
I’ve been incubating quite a few eggs from my silkies. We should be on day 15 so far but when candling over 75% show no sign of development. I’m not sure why this would be. I have my one roo in with 6 hens. Is he just not getting the job done? I don’t think it’s an issue with my incubator as all...
I’m also not sure of the vitamins in the feed but before I started corid but when I first noticed the symptoms I was adding electrolytes and nutridrench to the water and that didn’t seem to make any difference
