    Hello again. Our gander is nearly 2 years old and has 2 almost 1 year old geese for girlfriends. One is smaller and he must favor her because she is missing a lot of feathers on her head. The other is a bit larger and he seems to have trouble finishing the deed with her just because of the size...

    Quail with Eye and Ear Problem

    Recently my coturnix quail developed a squinty, irritated eye. Now I found his ear covered in a scab-type material with his ear hole clogged. I cleaned the area with saline and applied a little bit of Triple Polysporin, but I didn't want to dig anything out of his ear just in case. My regular...

    Please help! Why is my duck’s dropping light orange and white?

    She last ate mussels. We’ve been feeding her it regularly since we’re out of duck feed, but this has never happened before. I believe there isn’t any orange in mussels, so I’m not sure why she’s had an orange dropping or what it’s indicating. She’s also been shaking her head and generally...

    Please help! My duck is really sick and has been for awhile now, but we aren’t able to find out the exact problem and we can’t seem to find a solution

    We’ve been to the doctors, but they couldn’t find out what’s wrong with her even with the blood tests and all. We’ve tried putting her on antibiotics given by the doctors (Meloxicam) and it helped, but didn’t solve the problem. She’s had this problem for months and it’s getting worse. We’re...

    Duck limping, swollen foot, unknown cause

    Hi all, my pekin/Aylesbury developed a limp around 6 days ago and there is significant swelling to the middle of her toe and what I would presume is the ‘ankle joint’. On her outer toe she had a little mark which was a small piece of thorn I have removed and the swelling has gone down on that...

    What bacterial infections or just general infections cause head shaking and pain in ducks?

    The vet said she had an infection but haven’t yet specified which, so I’m conducting my own list of possibilities to support her while I wait for the email. My duck is one years old and she’s a female. Her main meals are duck feeds, Manna Pro Pellets. She usually has tomatoes and eggs as snacks...

    Unidentified duck foot crusty infection, seeking advice

    Hi. I have recently bought 3 Muscovy ducklings about 10 days ago. (I also have 2 chickens and have had more of both in the past.) The situation: The ducklings are roughly 4, 6 & 8 weeks old. The oldest is also significantly larger, so I suspect it is a drake. The oldest has some sort of foot...

    Dying chicken?

    Hi, so I am new to backyard chickens and I just got two chickens last week. A couple of days after getting them, we noticed that one of the chickens didn't move around as much and just stayed in the group while the other two went up in the coop. Whenever she tried to walk, she would flap her...
