Hi all. Need your help here. Theres a baby chick just hatched today. However, its legs are abnormal, makes it unable to walk or stand. Chick can only crawl using its wings and chest. The mama hen tried to help but couldnt do anything. Eventually accidentally stepped on chick very hard...
Today we saw snow for the first time, which was all wet because of the day's rain. We loved it! We followed our mommy around the big muddy puddles and ate snow... We even saw a little snowman.
I have a white rock hen who is 9 months old and ever since she was about 1 month old she will look down at her feet and shake her head side to side and walk and something run backwards about 5+ feet. It started getting better as she got older and it became rare when she would do it but now she...
Hello Everyone,
I've been trolling through the forums trying to find the best course of action to take with one of my 2 year old Pekin bantams Celine.
Celine has been unsteady on her feet, particularly her right foot which she seems to hold off the ground at times. Occasionally she will have a...
I’m at my wits end! My 24 week old barred rock gal has become completely immobile. Can’t walk, can’t stand, has one leg stretched out behind her and one to the front or side, can’t clean herself so I’m having to clean her butt everyday. Still eating, drinking, pooping. This started a month ago...
I have two 12-week old Pekin ducks I got from our local swap meet. My male, Finn, has always thrived and done well. My female, Remi, has seem to always have problems. When she was a few weeks old i started her on Niacin capsules because her legs started to cross. I seen improvement pretty fast...
My almost 2 day old chick loves to chirp and be under her mama hen, however, that’s all she wants to do, is be under her mama hen. should i try to do something so that she’s more active? i’m also worried that she won’t eat or drink water, because she’ll just want to be with her mama. Is this normal?
Ever since my chick was about a month or 2 old, she'll be eating and then looks down at her feet and acts like she's in some sort of hypnotization faze or something. She runs backwards and shakes her head back and forth for about 3 feet. Now she's going on 16 weeks old and still does it off and...
Hi,
So my chicken doesn't seem to be able to walk. She uses her wings to get from here to there. Very short distance to take the weight off her feet when flat on the ground. She uses her wings to take the weight off when sitting putting her chest on something using her elbows and her toes are...
So we have this chicken that I got as a pullet. The first thing she did when she saw the big chickens was run over and aggressively peck their ankles. So we named her Talus. I swear she has a screw loose. Well when ever she sneaks into her house or trying to get food from the others she crouches...
So I got this chick free along with some roosters from w nice lady who breeds English Orps. She said he had spraddle leg and it was wrapped and it kinda helped but he still has it and personally I'm not so sure, the leg sticks far put like slipped tendon when I pick him up, he gets around okay...
Not sure if anyone else has ever seen this before but I got this little silkie baby a couple of weeks ago. After a few days she started doing this. She sometimes takes normal steps but the majority of the time it’s this weird hop thing. She’s not injured and there’s nothing stuck in her foot...
I bought three ducks out of the mixed bin at TSC. A pekin, a khaki cambell (I think), and Scooter (middle in picture). Scooter was a bit smaller than the other two, and now he's half their size a week later. He doesn't seem distressed, but sits on his bum all the time (doesn't stand to eat, he...
Does anyone take their ducks for walks?? I want to buy a stroller for mine. Lol
Where can I get a decent sized and priced pet stroller for my ducks? ;)
Do any of you take your ducks with you anywhere??
(Keep in mind I only have 3 that will actually want to do anything with me lol)
So I found these pictures on Pinterest and google... lol
I was wondering if anyone has ever taken their ducks on a “walk”?
How well did it work?
I think it’d be cute. Lol
Hello, I recently picked up a chick after a long chicken hiatus. At the feed store was a lone chick on its back, who could barely walk. The owner ended up giving it to me since he didn't think it would survive.
Well, after some research, based on the chicks behavior and actions, I believe it has...
I cannot express the amount of worry I had this morning! Woke up to a absoloute shock!
My perfectly healthy week old chick was laying beneath her mother unable to move!
I quickly blamed myself, carrying her over to the water and giving her a sip. She fell into the water unable to stand and...
Seems I am using this forum a lot right now. I just got an order from cackle hatchery this morning, and all the chicks (bantams) were alive, but one is acting weird. Can't walk right, keeps falling over, and its head is twisting sideways towards its back. It's chirping a little, but I can't get...
