I was able to successfully hatch my first three Call ducks 7 days ago. I’ve hatched crested and runners before but no Call Ducks. One duckling has a very hard time keeping up with her siblings, and they are already twice her size. She won’t pant but she will breath heavily, and lay still for a...

My 5 year old hen is back with another impacted crop, only this time it's worse than usual. She's molting, which probably changed her appetite, which made her eat a lot of long grass. :barnie I thought this would last two or three days, but it's officially a week now with impacted crop. Hasn't...

Hey all - need a little advice on how to move forward. I've got a sweet polish hen (Roamie) - not exactly sure how old she is, but she started laying around March of this year (she just showed up in our yard and who knew we'd fall in love with her and the world of chickens!). She has 4 add'l...

Hey, We have a young cockerel (about 17 months) who is moulting and is rather raggedy around the neck and for some reason has over the past 2 days become very weak. He hardly crows, and has stopped calling for hens to come and get food, he eats it himself. He hardly has anything in his crop but...

Having a gander of approximately 4-5 months old. It had a toenail broken earlier this week and had blood lost. The blood stopped eventually, but as it sometimes raises its foot with the broken nail, I think it hurts to him. Today, the gander could walk earlier, but since a few hours ago, its...

One of my newly hatched chicks can't stand or open their eyes. I thought they were just premature and needed time to develop but it's been about a day since hatch and no improvement and I realized that they can't move their feet at all. I can manually move her feet and toes just fine, there...

Hi everyone, I have a 5 year old silkie rooster he's been acting not quite himself for about a week, i searched him for mites but can't seem to see anything. We've had mites in the past that affected the chickens in the same way so i have been treating him with dust and xeno450 spot on. (The...

One of my buff brahma roos almost 10 weeks old is much smaller than the rest and he walks with kind of droopy wings. He eats and drinks fine the others do not seem to bother him. I have checked him for mites and lice and he is clear and I did a fecal and that too is clear. No coughing, no...

First time duck mama (plus, my first time with a broody duck!) She has only been on the nest for about a week, and she was not on her nest for most of the day. We thought, she may have gotten attacked, because she wasn't there for some time. We took the eggs and put them under a very broody...

Hi, I have been given a couple pullets with problems. The lady made her own feed mix, Austrian peas and barley, and I don't know what else. Would this be sufficient? One has wry neck and the other can't walk and is still fairly emaciated after two weeks. She eats well enough, we have commercial...

I have been treating my frizzle Cochin hen inside my house for 3 weeks now. Every month I lose a bird, I find them laying down, weak and very thin, can’t stand. It’s very sudden as I usually see my birds every other day. If It’s not too late, I bring them in and start treating them with Corrid...

Hello everybody! We have a Dominique chicken, who is at the bottom of our pecking order of 9 guineas, 7 chickens and a rooster. We got her from a family with three times as many birds, and frankly she wasn't given any special care or attention and was in bad shape when we got her. Her health...

We have had two cases of egg bound chickens in the two years of having them, but this feels different. It could be another matter, but I want to be sure. This morning, my little brother brought to attention the fact that one of our girls was acting off. She was puffed up like she was egg bound...
