Of the 4 Rustic Rocks, 1 died at about 2 days old (not sure why), and two of the remaining have some odd wing issue. One of these seems to be...

    Duck's Wing Twitching and Fanning Out. Can someone tell me what this means??

    Hello all! My duck's wings do this every few days and she shakes her head and opens her mouth as if she wants to vomit and nothing comes out. Her tongue even sticks out for a while when she's doing this vomiting motion. It really scares and worries me. This happens every few days and it lasts...

    Quail hatchling with a funny wing position

    Hello wise ones. I have a lovely little quail. I think it was shrink wrapped. I noticed it piping 2 days ago, when it still hadn’t emerged today, I broke it free, carefully of course. Something isn’t right. At first I thought it was wry neck, but it feeds well and easily. I’m feeding it...

    My roo has wings that sort of stick out and look messy. I think some of his primary feathers are going over his secondary. I just hatched out his first chicks and the oldest (around 9-10 days) has wings that stick out. I do have 1 hen with wings that always stay a little bit open. Like she can't...

    Female pekin duck flicking and twitching her wings constantly???

    Hey im going to try to attach a video of what she's doing. But she will do this for hours on end. Her feathers also seem to be so thinned out and not smooth. It looks like she's plucked out so many feathers and it's making me worried. She's not my duck. But she shares a stall with my goose and...

    Ducks eating each other's feathers??

    I have two pekin ducks, both around two months old. The smaller one is often the one who leads the larger one, but I find that the smaller one always nibbles and plucks out feathers from the larger one's wing. The smaller one plucks the feathers out to the point where the other duck even starts...
