the other day we noticed 1 of our ducklings with their wing hanging down. S/he is the last to get feathers on the wings. Our adult male sometimes pecks at them so I'm not sure if it was him or something happened while they were in the yard any help would be great
We have a duck couple that took up residence in our parking lot at work. I'm trying to figure out if the female is domestic or some sort of cross. We're a few miles from the river or any farms
We got 2 muscovy ducks about a month ago 1 drake and a hen. Well last week she started laying eggs we're up to about 10. By law with the amount of birds we have I can only let her hatch 1 (we already have chickens) so here's my questions
1-can I just remove the eggs without upsetting her/make...
Hi, just wanted to hear from any others that tried this. We are converting a little tikes playhouse and live in NY so our winters can get bad. When doing this did you insulate? What about venting? I'm worried about having to cut threw 2 walls to do this. I checked YouTube, but only saw a few and...

Thanks, unfortunately she died this afternoon. That's 2 chicks I've lost now from this batch. I have another that doesn't seem to be doing well either but doesn't seem to have the lump. I'll try the other forum also thanks again
Have a barred rock who just isn't thriving. I noticed a lump near her belly area. I'm not sure what it is or if this is causing her to not grow. She is now about 1/2 the size of our other barred that is the same age. I have been giving her probiotics and electrolytes. She eats a little and...
I was afraid of it being picked on. I have an americauna in there that is bigger and was pecking at everyone yesterday. We bought them at the same time, but I think the houdans(sick chick) are younger. Thanks for the help!
