    wry neck/traumatic neck injury- Not broken, but severely contorted after caught in door frame gap.

    Here is her eating. And the one where she is headless is after she tried to drink. She can't really get out of the twisted position by herself I've noticed.

    wry neck/traumatic neck injury- Not broken, but severely contorted after caught in door frame gap.

    Update- I took her out of the neck brace to go to bed tonight. She was standing and eating by herself (head sideways) and tried drinking but when she tried to jerk her neck to swallow it forced her beck to snap back into the backwards and upside down twisted position. So I syringe fed her water...

    wry neck/traumatic neck injury- Not broken, but severely contorted after caught in door frame gap.

    Also, after further palpating, it seems the crux of the twisting is directly where her skull meets the top her her spine. Even with the 'brace' I made, her head is super crooked but her neck is straight. I can straighten it, but it requires a good amount of force. She tolerates it but doesnt...

    wry neck/traumatic neck injury- Not broken, but severely contorted after caught in door frame gap.

    Hey. So my sweet girl got injured yesterday/today. And it was my fault. :( I didn't find out until this afternoon, but last night when I went to check on my birds, and when shutting the coop door, she must have gotten caught and her neck was bent terribly and she was stuck until I opened their...

    Incubator off all night! Eggs cold! Are they ok?? Yes!! My story to help others

    I had a broody hen reject an egg, kicked it right out of her nest to the ground outside. It sat over night I would guess, in about 45 degree weather. About 16 days along. I brought it inside to my incubator that was running another hatch. The egg was a deep moss olive color, so I couldn't...

    Coturnix sexing help please, with pics

    I've got 6. To my extremely inexperienced eyes, based off of 5 minutes on google, I think there are 5 gals and a male? I'll label the pics with numbers. I believe they are the Pharoah coloring? Are they jumbo or the smaller kind? I got them from rural king, so hoovers. It just said 'quail' lol.

    What breeds are these two 'assorted' ducklings?

    I deleted my original comment in the post, but because of the light chest patch I was also wondering if it could be a splash swedish, but it wasn't mottled enough. I haven't seen a silver Swedish before, so excited to look them up! It's much, much lighter than the blue Swedish I got at the same...

    Duck breed ?

    I would say the one on the far left is a khaki campbell. It is quite a bit smaller than the other of the same age, and they are a lighter breed. Also based off the duckling picture of it. I agree the coloring is leaning male. They are both definitely not welsh harlequins.

    What breeds are these two 'assorted' ducklings?

    I've had a great variety of ducks through the years. But I am not sure on these two little gals. They are both female. 3 weeks apart in age but the growth spurt on the older one is pretty awesome. The brown older duck is 4 weeks about. It appeared to be a khaki campbell as a duckling, I...

    STILL no eggs! 16 girls 22-25 weeks

    Thankfully I was able to get everything straightened away with their coops shortly after this post. I also switched to a local made higher quality feed and most of the suddenly started laying all the week that I switched. Pretty wild! Their coop was 100ft sq, so not tiny but not huge for the...
