I posted this in another thread but didn't get much response, my 2 month old chick was pecked in the head by my duck and had a small sore, now she has bad balance and her legs are hot. She seems to be getting worse, it has been a week now. She is active and eating, otherwise healthy. Can I give...

So I went outside to collect eggs and I find my duck in the coop with the eggs I left in there because I thought a hen was going to lay on them. She puffed up and grunted at me, I know she isn't harmful so I reached in and got the eggs out that were laid today. I'm worried that I've scared her...

My hen has been "collecting" eggs for over a week and I've only left 9 outside for her, but she hasn't sat on them yet. I was wondering how long after her collection will she start to lay on them?

Hey everyone! I was wondering how successful y'all are with raising ducklings and chicks together? My first flock grew up together, but I'm wondering about this batch. I hatched 2 ducklings, 8 days old and then bought three chicks, 5 days old. I want them to grow up together so that my first...
