What is everyone charging per dozen? Do you ask for more for the duck eggs? My duck eggs are fertilized, if that matters. I sell a few of those to a witch who specifically needs fertilized eggs. I was only charging three dollars a dozen for both chicken and duck but feed prices went up, even the...

I have a hen, not sure of age because she is a rescue. She seemed fine yesterday. She's been funny about eating her treats, but sometimes she's picky. This afternoon I noticed that she was not out with the other girls betting her treat. I look in the coop and she is still in there. I did not...

My cayuga duck did not get put in the pen last night. She is usually one of the first to go in so I did not realize she was not there when I shut the gate. Around midnights there was a lot of noise. Something got her and dragged her over an 8’ fence. I scared it off. She was bleeding very bad. I...

I have a pair of Pekin ducks. They hatched some eggs. 4 that were hatched possible the same day are the same size, one that hatched 1-3 days later is 1/2 the size. I have 2 that I had to help hatch because mon & dad stepped on them and threw them out of the nest, they are the size of the smaller...

OK, there were a couple of incidents that I thought were coincidences: a duckling wet and limp by the water, the drake scooting that same ducking around with his beak outside of the nest though I had put him under mom (the duckling was injured may not have been due to drake but later died), him...

What do you think? Pekin duck egg. Was out of the nest. But I have also found at least two that have live chicks in them that were rolled out of the nest. I think a clumsy Drake is doing it.

How do you water your duck parents while keeping ducklings safe for those first few weeks? I had a bowl I thought was tall enough, but apparently not.

Found this duckling by the water dish just laying there, wet and cold. Thought she was dead but she chirped. Put her by the mom. Next thing you know she was out of the nest again laying on the ground and dad was rolling her around with his beak. Brought her in the house and put her under a...

My duck seemed to push some eggs out of the nest. I brought them in to check in case the accidentally just rolled out., but was having a hard time telling if there are babies. I have never done this before. I had them on the counter and one rolled on the floor. There's blood and I hear a baby...

MOVED TO EMERGENCY FORUM. My duck seemed to push some eggs out of the nest. I brought them in to check in case the accidentally just rolled out., but was having a hard time telling if there are babies. I have never done this before. I had them on the counter and one rolled on the floor. There's...

I went out to get the hens ready for bed and I notice one of them sitting alone in the middle of the yard. When she stood up I notice she is on one foot. When I picked her up, that leg is dangling. It's not blue or anything, but it's like the ligament is not attached or something. I felt, and...

Hi All! I was not sure which forum to post this in and I'm sure there is already a post on this, but my searches did not bring it up. I am wondering what you all charge for eggs? I have Easter Eggers eggs, which every one loves the color, various shades of brown egges, Pekin duck eggs and Cayuga...

Hello! I have one Easter Egger who does not want to go in the coop at night. She hops up on the coop door and wants to sleep there. I close up the pen, so she would be safe there, but I don't know if I should let her do it when it is cold outside. During cold weather I close the coop and there...

I count my chickens/duck every night to make sure that they are all there. A couple of weeks ago, I counted them as they went into the coop and noticed one was missing. I looked around then started searching the coop thinking maybe she went in early. I didn't see her at first but then I noticed...

I have a hen that every once in awhile gets some crazy idea that she is going to sleep somewhere other than the coop. Sometimes it will be on a patio chair or the table, sometimes she talks one of the other girls into join her rebellion. I have enclosed the coop with a pen, and now that it is...

I found one of my hens in the kiddie pool (6-8" deep, very shallow) I use for the ducks. I had it butted up against the sidewalk because the female duck has a hard time getting in. The drake has been after her so I assumed he did it. I had been keeping them separate, but didn't do that today for...

I have a coop and a pen, but let the chickens and ducks free-range in my fenced in backyard. The ducks make a huge mess and the food that gets wet and is laying around due to their messiness sometimes starts to smell, but not horrible and I can get it under control, but we've had a lot of rain...

I have a black cayuga duck who lost her mate. I adopted a duck and drake peking pair. The peking duck has a lame wing, something that happened when with the former owner and she kind of walks funny. I think it throws off her balance. I took her to the vet and he said just leave it be. At first...

I scored a free 700 gal koi pond that a real estate guy wanted off of a property. For some bizarre reason, the previous owner threw away the working pump, but still FREE POND. I want to set this up with as little work as possible, because I will get little to no help, but I want it to look good...

HI All! I need some advice on what to do for this duck. Someone asked if I wanted his ducks (Pekins?) because he hatched a Canadian goose egg and the goose was picking on the ducks. He said that he thought that the goose had pulled a bunch of feathers out of the female duck's wing. I do not see...
