    Buzzing off feathers on the vent for egg laying?

    I have seen some videos online of people buzzing off vent feathers for cleaner eggs and say it promotes more egg laying. They said that as long as the chickens have a source or warmth they would be okay. Anyone had experience with this or heard of this? Thanks!

    Duckling seems to have no vent?

    So I hatched out two adorable baby ducklings on the 10th, they have been seeming to do very well in general, and I had no concerns until I decided I might try to sex them. One of the ducklings seems to not have a vent at all, only a strange nub. I know this nub isn't the umbilical cord thing...

    Prolapsed Vent Advice

    A couple of nights ago when I was putting the hens to bed, I noticed that one of our lovely girls (Amica) was being pecked on the backside.

    Treating a prolapsed vent

    One of my ducklings was delivered to me with what seems to be a prolapsed vent, I was able to pick it from the bunch because it wasn't moving as much as the others were when i took them out of their box. It makes the motions as if it is trying to eliminate, but nothing comes out. Is there anyway...

    Clear discharge from vent

    Went to check on the hens before bed and noticed one was acting different. She has clear liquid coming from her vent when she jumped on the roost bar some of it dripped below her and the other hens wanted to eat it? Could this be an egg broken inside of her? And if so, what can I do. Please help!
