We have two blue Swedish ducks (a male and female) and we cooincodentally have had two leg injuries in the same month and never have before (this is our first year with the ducks). We found one of our young hens under a bush at closing time one night and still can't figure out what hurt her (no...
Haha yup! Thought so. I posted him to Craigslist earlier today and someone actually questioned me. It made me question myself but I'm glad to know I know more than some haha. I called it like a week or so ago when he started biting us.
We have 3 month old blue Swedish ducks and in the last month, we've started to fill/empty their little pool (a kids turtle pool/sandbox) everyday. I don't know if it's coincidence or the damp environment but the past week we've noticed a HUGE jump in the amount of black flies and Mosquitos in...
Any info would be appreciated! We were told that she was an EE but the lady got her out of a container that said EE AND Ameraucana.. Her feet are a dark brown/grayish, although you can't tell in the pictures.
We have a year old golden comment who has never laid and recently started acting very strange. Stands in one spot for up to an hour without moving, like a statue.. walks very slowly and barely pecks around in the grass.. doesn't have avert quick response time when we approach her. Has almost no...
I thought I had either a jersey giant or an Australorp but as far as I know, they lay cream-brown eggs.
I'll upload a picture in a minute when I go out to feed the flock a snack but she is all black with black feet.
Yeaaaah, we were worried about that. Time for craigslist big boys!
We bought 17 chicks that were supposed to be all hens and about 8 of them are most likely roos. Bummer! Well thanks friends!
Oh dear, that's what we thought. Any thoughts on breed? We most likely won't keep him because we discovered another rooster who is an EE and the most friendly of all the birds.
We got 17 "pullets" a month back and this little thing was always the smallest and most quiet. Now that they are all showing their true colors, we are noticing that this little "guy" is more bold, pecks often and suddenly has waddles and a HUGE red comb. My husband and I think roo.. what do you...
I'm guessing of all 17 chicks.. I have at least 10 EE's then hah. I was told I had Ameraucanas (which I knew was a gamble) and Delaware, NHR and Plymouth barred rocks. As they get bigger, I am noticing certain traits I didn't expect. The "NHR" are most definitely EE's because of their blueish...
