I have a female muscovy who has had a sudden obsession with eggs. She knows when im going out to check for them. She doesn't try to sit on them though. She tries to stab them and eat them. Could she have gotten a taste of a broken egg and is now ruined? Help

All I know is I did not get any silkies (not a fan). I have 10 new chicks now. I think some may be the silver duckling bantam breed but not 100%. Any ideas?

We are looking for bantam chickens in our area. We have 6 currently and want to add roughly 10-15 more. Does anyone have some that live in NH?

I had an egg hatch earlier than expected...didn't realize I put a mule egg amongst my muscovy eggs...no siblings yet and I haven't bought any food and won't be able to for a few days. What can I give it thats good for it until I get feed? If nothing then ill have to see if some friends can help...

We had our first egg hatch! Such a sweet little mule duck. Unfortunately her purebred brothers and sisters won't hatch for another week almost. Hoping our hen doesn't give up on the eggs before they do since this little guy was early and unexpected

I'm posting again to maybe get some more feedback. These eggs are about 3 days apart. The duck laying them is going through a molt. She has been laying since Feb/Mar and is 1yr old in August. Is she ok? Just a molt thing? The first has the mucus and the second is covered in calcium deposits. I...

My saxony female has been acting off lately. I'm pretty sure she laid a massive egg 2 days ago then nothing and now this... is she ok? Is there something I can do to help her? They get 18% layer feed, a fresh bowl of oyster shell, plenty to forage and treats every so often.

I have 3 broody hens attempting to hatch 12 muscovy eggs and possibly 1 mule egg. I have to say I was worried they wouldn't complete it but were only a week away from supposed hatch date and those three are STILL trying to murder me if I so much look at the nest wrong lol but it'll be worth it...

All my ducks were acting funny this morning (they were all getting along and crowded together). From my office, they looked as if they were watching something. So I do my common response of checking the skies for predators since there is a nest nearby. The sky is completely clear. Then I heard...

This is a new thing my muscovy ducks started doing. All my other chickens just ignore them but my largest chicken fights them. There is a fence. Should I just move the chickens to their own separate area? My muscovy can still fly so I don't see it helping too much. What are they even doing? I...

Went out to our duck coop this morning and got this 125g egg! Its massive compared to the others

I have a particular chicken who lately is laying eggs with what looks like bumps. Can anyone help me figure it out? Shes a 2yr old black cochin bantam

I found this on pinterest and it spiked my curiosity. I'd like to get some feedback on it to see if any of it is true from you guys while ill check my books as well

I got 10 almost 2yr old chickens 2 days ago. Yesterday they ate one of the eggs. Today they did it again. I tilted nesting boxes, made them darker, added bedding, added fake eggs, gave them more food options, refreshed water, added more places to get oyster shell... what do I do if they keep...

I have no idea what breed this one is. Shes slightly mean, the only chicken who doesn't have damage on her out of the 10 total we got. Im guessing she's Tawas the alpha of some sort.

We are picking up these guys in an hour. The owner wasn't quite sure what they were. Ill get better pictures tomorrow but can you take a guess with this?

I have 4 drakes and 10 ducks. One of my drakes is absolutely gorgeous and I wanted to breed him but lately he's been an absolute jersey. Not sticking to his girls, not protecting anyone, and pushing all the other males off no matter who they are on. The other males all get along and know which...

I have a female saxony that we brought inside today because I saw something wrong with her foot. I finally got her calm enough to let me really look at it. I want to say bumblefoot but I just wanted to check. We have cleaned it since the picture and sprayed it with an antiseptic. I wasn't sure...

Does anyone else's ducks lay at night? I'm not sure why mine do. No matter what time I let them out, there are always 4 or more eggs that were laid. I've let them out at 7am and as early as 5am... same thing. Because of this, we had an egg burst from the cold. The ducks are fine, my eggs just...

I am starting to put feelers out to find out farm 2 dwellings. If anyone has any ideas for farms in New Hampshire that may have some kn the spring, let me know. Im posting on my state page as well
