I got an ornamental assortment that should all be female, but being new at this I didn’t know selecting the free chick from the hatchery meant it’s most likely a rooster. I’m hoping our favorite chick is a hen because we can’t have a rooster here. After looking at the difference between them...

This is Gertrude. About a week old. She was our biggest, healthiest, happiest chick. A couple days ago she started her distress chirp. I went to her and she was not ok. She died within an hour. She was panting, gasping and obviously in distress. She was limp, in and out of consciousness, hard...
I have a female manchurian golden quail which has a lame foot. I just figured this out 30 minutes ago. My dad said we should butcher it, should we? I put it in a separate cage on the grass with food and water right by it. It is 69 fahrenheit out right now. Please help!
As the title says, my female duck has just grown a curly tail feather like all drakes have! I know that she is female because of her deep quack and most of all I have seen her lay an egg with my own eyes. When it first began growing I thought maybe it was just an out of place feather but today...

One of my female ducks has been acting odd lately. She kinda hangs out by her self instead of with the other girl muscovy ducks and doesn't move much. She has been sitting all puffed up and sleeping way more than usual. All the other ducks have been acting normal lately.
Some background: I had...
Hi all!!
So I have a a few ducks, one muscovy, one runner, and one magpie. Runner and muscovy are about 20-22 weeks old, magpie is 5-6 months old. We think they are all girls. But the magpie, when mounting the runner today, shot out a white liquid from "her" vent. That raised alarm for me. I...
