Our beloved duck has lost her companion and our neighbors are not happy about her vocalizing her loneliness. We have considered getting another Indian Runner for her but can't find any resources here in Oregon. If anyone knows of a place for her -or- knows where we can find a new Indian Runner...

I'm not sure if I can let her out of the run anymore but that seems cruel. SHe is 2 months old and was free ranging during the day with her buddy an Indian Runner female (same age) when she just decided to fly to the nearby lake. We took the Indian Runner (Lorelei) with us down to the lake...

I got eggs from a farm where they didn't separate the breeds. This was an incubation project for my daughter's school. Any guesses? And thank you! The brown one w/tufts on its cheeks, "Mei Mei" looks like an Americauna to me but roo or pullet? The darker brown one (who has an...

This is my first time and I made the mistake of doing a staggered hatch. So, I've had 9 hatch which is great! But out of the ones left, some are on day 26 and some are on day 24. I candled the lighter shelled ones and they looked like they were behind in development. There were 2 or 3...

I have a 23 day egg, pipped a couple of hours ago and I didn't know as I didn't want to open the bator. I finally got anxious and looked...it doesn't have an egg tooth! I carefully zipped around the shell, left the membrane intact...chick doesn't seem to be panting (I'm assuming their beak is...
