I have 2 Easter Eggers. For almost a year they haven't laid eggs. The seem to have gone through 2 molting periods this year. They stopped laying actually when I got rid of my rooster. Will they lay again do you think?

Lately my 3 girls (Easter Eggers) have been fighting for pecking order, which is strange since they've lived together for the last 2 years and its never been an issue before. So, this evening I went out to put them to bed and poor Miracle was all bloody and a chunk missing from her beak. I've...

My Easter Eggers ladies stopped laying last winter and It lasted almost 6 months. Two weeks ago they started to lay again. And now have stopped again as they are molting again. Are my ladies done laying or is there something else going on?

I have Pekings 2 female ducks and 2 drakes. I plan on keeping a pair of 1 drake and 1 female. Will they be ok together? I don't want 2 drakes or 2 females and all I am allowed is 2 ducks. Just want to be sure he won't be too hard on her.

My ducklings turned 1 month old last Friday. I am thinking that I have 1 female so far out of my 4 ducklings. She is smaller and the first to quack. And a real squealer! She has cut my hands and arms trying to get away from me every time I go to pick her up and she bites; its starting to hurt...

Since I was unable to get small oyster shells I've been straining the hens oyster shells. But, its a lot of work. And I'm almost out. By chance can I feed my month old ducklings crushed chicken shells? Not worried about the egg laying, just want to make sure their food is getting digested...

My ducklings are a little over 2 weeks old. I was wondering how old before they don't require a heat lamp? I'm in Northern Ontario where night time temperatures lately are -60F. My home is set at 70F. I have forced air heating and there is a register beside their brooder. I have one duck that...

Today my ducklings are 1 week old. They are very hungry! Is there anything else I can give them besides their duck starter?

So, my little one that had the crack on its beak has a different bill than the others. The others have a slight overlap bill on top, but this little gaffer has an overlap bill on the bottom? Still eating and drinking well although. Also, I'm hearing the odd sneeze; very faint. I have the temp...

My 5 day old duckies are growing fast and doing great! Even the one that had a chipped bill; it healed itself the following day.

This little duckling is 3 days old. It was born with this dark mark on top of its beak. Another one has a smaller one. Now it looks and feels cracked. Doesn't seem to be bothersome.But, I'm just worried will it heal, what can I do, and will it get infected? And do you think the shell might have...

I have ducklings arriving this Thursday (possibly) or Friday. I ordered un-medicated duck starter; however, the order wasn't placed. I've called around looking for some and everyone needs to order it in. I have regular chicken feed, but I know that could kill them. So I am in a fix. Can...

My almost 2 year old hen became broody after a rooster was introduced. They never mated, however; I had fertile Bantam eggs. She's been sitting on them since September 10th. She has no appetite nor is she drinking much water. I've notided her poop has been runny last couple of days, which I'm...

Thank you for the clarification. No more opinions needed, thank you

I have 1 rooster with 4 hens. They are 13 weeks old. The breeds are mixed: Red sexlink cross with American or Maran and Blue Azure Bantam mixed crosses. I saw this happen with another rooster I had from this family with the same behaviour. I've given him away :( My big boy Miracle is now...

My 1 year 3 month old Jersey Giant quit laying. She was laying sporadically until May 23rd was her last egg. What can I do to help her?

I have two 10 month old hens. One is a Jersey Giant [black] that lays ex-large eggs. Her egg shells have had ripples on them. When I researched this, it says she might have an infectious Bronchitis. I am concerned because I don't know if it's possible that I may have given it to her because I...

Hello All, I recently bought 2 adorable New Zealand bunnies. They are now 2 months old. One of them has already mastered the litter box, the other chooses to urinate just beside the litter box and poop anywhere in the cage. I am trying to develop a routine. There is a positive; they no longer...

Hi there, I just got 2 New Zealand Rabbits. 1 1/2 years old. Still figuring out sex. Their coloring seems grey and grey-brown. Very cute I might add, cuddly too!

Every Monday when my son returns to school and my husband back to work my lab refuses to eat. He really likes the new Salmon-Potato food I got him. He's been on it for over a month now. Seems whenever his routine is changed, he won't eat. I ignore and don't push him to eat. I figure he will eat...
