I have had ducks for two years now with no illnesses or injuries so this is new for me. I have one drake and one gal (out of 6 total) that BOTH have a bum right leg at the hock...swollen but not hot. I brought them both in and put them in my bathtub - the girl's injury is worse, she won't use it...

:yaWe got our keets this morning from Cackle and they all arrived ALIVE! (2nd attempt-first attempt didn’t go as well 2 months ago) Straight run, but there is no separation of colors listed. So I went through the gallery and from what I can tell it looks like I have 7 French and 3 Lavenders...

Dilemma! My Peahen just started laying and has 4 so far. Her mate just got hit by a car this morning and didn’t make it. (More to that in a later post) Will Charlotte leave her nest to grieve? Will she return to it? I haven’t had experience with grieving peafowl so I don’t know how they...

So my peahen is off in the woods with her nest somewhere. I was wondering, if the eggs are viable and survive the hatch, I am interested in keeping a peacock and raising it. I was wondering if I should keep a peahen for him too (brother/sister hookup, is that viable?) or will he mate with his...

Free leghorn roo, 12 weeks old. Available in Shelton, Washington area. Willing to meet in Olympia.

From my research here on BYC, I now think they are both girls, but they are just so darned different from each other. One (Fiona) is bigger, but her comb is not as dark as the smaller one (Fred). Fiona got big, and she has rounded tail feathers. Fred is smaller, but his? comb got red first and...

Does anyone know how to tell the difference? The breeder is no help - he told me they were New Hampshires!! They have green legs and the comb - well, it's either a buttercup or a rose comb, I can't tell? I'll try to get a closer picture of the comb. I love their eyeliner, though! So cute.

These were sold to me today as Aracaunas by a breeder, who apparently doesn't know what he's talking about. About 5 weeks old, single combs, tails, pink legs and feet. I have no idea what these could be. Help! This one is probably an EE, but has no tuff/muff or anything like that. Green legs...

This will be the fourth one in less than two weeks! They are all EEs ("americana's" from the feed store), my oldest one (4 weeks) died a few days ago. They just get lethargic, stand away from the group in the brooder, and look like they are sleeping on their feet. The next thing know they are...

Well, I knew about BYC while I was researching chicken breeds, but I had NO IDEA there was a peafowl forum, I wish I would have found this before I got the notion to get a pair of peafowl :) I lived in Germany for two years and my neighbors farm had a pair. I LOVED THEM. They were WHITE! I had...

Hi, well we got rid of our pit bull back in January and I decided that I wanted chickens. So a friend gave me her small coop (4x4 I think) and I built my own pen.....well, it is with 6 foot T poles and welded wire, but I didn't put a netting over it. I leave it open anyway for the mamas to free...
