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...

I am really afraid that I got a bunch of roos this time around. These babies are between 8-9wks old. The only 1 I'm sure is a pullet is my barred rock. I have 2mottled houdans, 3 crested polish and 2 EE. I read on here that the pullet houdans will get more white on their backs mine are solid...

1st chick we lost 2 days after we picked them up started staying off by itself then at the end seemed to be gasping for breath. 2nd chick we just lost this afternoon. She and another chick both seem to be not thriving. They are both different breeds (rock and polish) and I compare them to their...

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...

Have 1 chick who just doesn't seem to be doing well this am I noticed it wasn't at the food and water with the rest, it looks smaller than the rest and keeps hanging back. Tonight when I got home the rest of them went nuts when I put fresh food and water down and this little guy didn't care at...

We just got our first set of polish chicks and 1 didn't quite look like the other, so we googled and now I'm even more worried. I know its hard to tell but any help would be great! Tia

We are searching for a polish hen (or 2) to add to our flock. Age doesn't matter, but must be hens no roos allowed in our town. Our girls are pets not food. We are located on LI, but willing to travel to upstate, ct, nj...local-ish.

I have a barred rock too I have been trying to rehome. Where we live there's no roos allowed. We have found a way around it for the past few months by having a "no crow collar" on him which keeps him quieter, but we both hate it. And the fact that everyone's windows are closed. Spring is coming...

I have 3 beautiful young boys in need of a new home. 1 is a barred rock, almost 4 mths old. Other 2 are around the same age (or younger I believe). These last 2 were dumped in my yard by some jackass! I am willing to travel a bit to find these boys a good home

Hi all, I have 3 very handsome cockerels to find new homes for. I live in a town that has a ban on roosters, bought some chicks this spring and wound up with a barred rock that is never ever going to lay eggs :) then today found 2 young guys wondering around my house where some jerk had dumped...

Has anyone used the rooster collar? How did it work? We got 6 chicks this summer and well 1 is a rooster. There are no roos allowed in our town and really don't want fertilized eggs. We saw online a "rooster collar" and just wanted to see if anyone else had used with success. Also I'm assuming...

For awhile now the idea of getting chickens had been circling around. We rescued a handsome polish roo that somehow got lost this past winter. He was so nice, except for the crowing that we were sold on getting chickens. We found a farm for him to go to since in the town where we live there's no...

Kind of new to chickens. Just picked up 2 hens from an egg farm that were getting rid of their older flock.:/ 1 hen looks great, the other seems to have been getting "pecked" on. All of her tail feathers are gone and her "butt" is bare. Is there anything I can do to make sure she is ok? To me it...
