Hiya duck owners! I recently acquired some fertile call duck eggs from a close friend of mine as a gift (She knows I've been wanting to raise call ducks forever!) They arrived safely, individually wrapped with no detached air cells or visible damage whatsoever I am familiar with the incubation...

I have an Ameraucana hen that is suddenly limping. I've had two chickens in the past suddenly begin to limp, as well as lose weight. They both died within a week of their limp. Now another one of my hens is limping, although she hasn't seemed to loose any weight. In the first two situations I...

I have 2 hens that are displaying broody behavior, one is a white Ameraucana and the other is an itty bitty Serama with 3 little chicks that hatched 2 days ago. It so happens that my order of 3 day old chicks came in today. If I gave my serama a few of the chicks, would she "adopt" them? I don't...

Looks like whatever killed my white araucana 2-3 weeks ago was infectious. She had a limp and stopped eating. I have a black Araucana that has a limp now, is pooping greenish yellow, and has lost a lot of weight. She will still eat from my hands and such but has trouble getting to food on her...

Okay, so one of my young ameraucanas has always seemed to have a slight limp but nothing major, she ate fine and everything. We never could find out what caused it or how to help her, but since she was thriving we figured it hopefully wouldn't get worse. Within the past two days, her state...

Not sure if posting this in the right thread, but I'm interested in knowing if anyone know the average fertility rate of rumpless breeds like the araucana. I'm trying to breed a rumpless araucana rooster to a tailed red star hen but I'm not really sure if he's mating with her or not

Whenever I forget to collect the eggs for two or three and they accumulate, one of my hens almost always goes broody. Last time we didn't really know what to do so we waited it out, it lasted for about 2 weeks. She just recently got broody and I moved her to a completely different coop. No more...

I recently acquired an Araucana breeding pair, however, the female is only about 3 months old so no eggs from her yet hehe. I am aware of the lethal tuft gene, as the rooster is tufted and the female is not. I have 3 red star hens that lay exceptionally and I'm curious to know, as I penned one...
