At first I was thinking failure to thrive. He's getting bigger, but he has no feathers and the few he does have, seem to be coming in at weird angles. He eats, drinks, poops and plays with the others. We've put electro lights in his water and given him vitamins and extra protein since day one...

These are all the same age; about 5 weeks. Speckled Sussex, EE and Barnevelder (w/failure to thrive I'm assuming.) The Barnevelder was not doing well at first, but w/a little TLC, he's came around. EE- Roo?[/IMG] Speckled Sussex- 1 pullet, 1? The little guy is in there too.

The chubby guy on the right was one of 3 Speckled Sussex day olds we picked up. Right away, he seemed a little "off". He was sleeping a lot more than the others and seemed to be breathing kind of fast. We thought we might lose him, and called him the "Dead Guy". A day later, I found him like...

*NOT hatched on 4/12... 4/5 is actual hatch date. [/IMG] This little one had a rough start. He's doing better now, but has some catching up to do. Our mutt.

I have 2 runner drakes (I think) Who will not leave my chickens or eachother alone. There's a lot of unwanted "loving" going on here. Should I just let them work things out on their own? I have no female ducks, just my chickens who at first didn't seem to mind (would even squat for the drakes)...

I have 5 young hens (chickens) and 2 young drake runner ducks. The 2 ducks have been "loving" on 2 of the hens... Really bothering them. And now they're acting like they've gone broody. (I think) They have made a little nest and won't get off except to eat and when they do, the hens get attacked...

I have never had ducks before. Only chickens. How can you tell the sex? These are about 4 weeks old. What are they going to look like? I would love to see your pics. The little yellow had wry-neck when I got him. He is 100% now. I love them! Got any name ideas?

That makes 3! My husband is deploying for a year rite before he's due.... I just know I'll go bald from the stress... There's no mistaking. He's got a little "kickstand". lol Here's the ultrasound pics... Looks like his father lol Here are the other two

I just picked up 2 runner ducklings Thursday. One is 1 week and the other is 2 weeks old. I have only ever raised chickens before (with no problems). They were both doing fine until this morning. I put the little guys in the grass outside and the little one seemed to be tilting his head to one...

I might be picking up a few as pets and I'd like to know a little more about them. Thanks. I would love to see pictures you may have...

They look like a turkin/silkie/frizzle mix to me.... WHAT are they? Do they always have blue skin? Show me some PICS!

I know there are lots of wives tales about this... How you carry, when you're due etc... Know of any? I already have 2 boys so I'd like a girl but my husband has 10 brothers and no sisters... Of course health is first and foremost. I get an ultra sound may 11th...

I'm looking for ducks

I ordered chickens from Ideal. Where to get ducks?

I live in a pretty rural area. We have a fenced in yard, pretty good size. No pond or anything like that. I currently have 6 hens who roam the yard freely and we have never had a problem with them. I'd like a few ducks as pets. We have plenty of eggs so I won't need them for that. Maybe dumb...

I have a young GLW hen who is too aggressive with my 2 year old. She follows him around and pecks at him. She's fine with adults, but she also bullies our other hens. She is a good layer. She is free range and I'd like to keep her that way. We love her and want her to go to a good home. $15 or...

This morning we heard our hen let out a crow. (More like a scream) We thought she was in distress but she was just fine. Strutting around the yard crowing like a roo. We did have a roo that she was raised with and recently had to give him away because of the neighbors. Is she missing him or...

I got one of those little table-top incubators for a classroom. I have tried four times now to get a hatch and nothing... They develop fine rite up until the last couple of days and then just die. I don't know what I'm doing wrong... So bummed. Has anyone ever got these to work?
