Hope all goes well....as I found her nest yesterday, and she few off most likely to distract, we trimmed and cut the grass, and feared she would not return, but see her sitting all day today that's when I snapped the pictures, at a distance of course. Hope all goes well....thanks a lot!

at the back of our property, on the neighbors property, their is a huge pond/small lake. So, I am sure she will be gone with her ducklings, after they hatch. Do you think she will eat my garden vegetables prior to leaving? That's what I am concerned about and of course if she will return after...

I was recently startled by a female mallard duck, as I unknowingly got to close to her nest. Up against the side of my house, behind my dead brush from last years mum plant but also in my main garden. She is sitting on 8 eggs. A couple questions? One, I know when I till next weekend, it'll...

Peggy looks like a Barred Rock

I can't be of too much help, but it sounds like you have done a lot to help her already. Keep in mind, chickens are very resilient. The only other thing I can think of that I might do is get her on some save a chick, as she most likely is stressed. Good luck, hopefully someone more experienced...

I save all mine also, and use my dehydrator to bake them per say. Then I use my mortal and pestle to grind them up. Just make sure they don't resemble the egg shell any longer or you may get what you don't want....egg eaters. Mine gobble them up also. I put mine in a small feeder and they have...

Quote: Stressful conditions...no same old stuff, just happens on a different day...lol Birds being moved....nope, just the same coop as always.....nothing new or changed. Environment changes.....nothing......spring has finally sprung here is all? Predators....always a risk, but no coop or...

Quote: Sure will upload in a bit.....the one I have left, as I lost one last winter due to being an internal layer, has much more copper coloring on her chest than the one I lost. I helped her get around as much as I could and one night she just laid down and said she had, had enough...

mine was in the coop the entire time, and was always seen by the others. May I suggest another idea? Hope you said yes...lol Once she is able to be reintroduced to the flock, add a low on the totem pole hen with her for a day or two, and then slowly, real slow add them back in, at a distance if...

I have 10 chickens in a 8 x 8 coop. I have 8 nest boxes. Scraps, treats are at a very low minimal, average a treat or scraps once every 3-4 weeks. This just started and it's not the norm. Something obvious has changed, as this has been an established flock for a year now? I am not dismissing...

I would have to say generally yes, but not all of them. Also it doesn't explain how all of them are bare bottomed? I am so at a loss, and just have no clue what to do! If you don't think it's mites, nor lice, then I am not going to keep treating the ladies unnecessarily. Some have shown a tad...

no..sure don't. what about lice? Would lice eat away at feathers?

I am new here, but have had issues several times with my one hen. I did the olive oil, and only water for as long as it took. I used a dropper and forced it in her beak. Tried to get at least a tablespoon down her 3-4 times a day. The massage til it softens. I added a few drop to her water...

Hi! I have 10 hens, 8 are a year old, varying breeds, and 2 are about 3, yrs/4 yrs old. A few weeks ago I noticed almost all of my ladies had bare bottoms, from the vent area down to their under belly. I started spraying them with a natural remedy for mites/lice. Nothing seemed to help, I...
