Hi! I have a female pekin duck, she was getting mates too much so we separated her from the flock. She’s been separated for a week or so now, and is panting a lot while laying down or after she gets up and walks for a little. It’s been about 70 degrees this week. I attached a video below of her...

Hi! I got these four beautiful ducklings from tractor supply today, can you help me determine the breeds of them? I think the grey one with yellow chest is a blue Swedish and the one with black middle toes is a Ancona and I’m not sure about the other two. I’m hoping the other two are welsh...

Hello, I have a broody muscovy duck and her eggs were due to hatch tomorrow. All of her eggs look like the picture attached below. She is a first time mother and is only sitting on six eggs. What happened to them and why to all of them? Is there any possible chance that they could hatch? Thanks!

Hi! I have two questions. 1. A male muscovy duck and just disappeared without a trace. He can fly, but he has water and everything a duck could want. If he is gone, there is no trace of a struggle. What could have happened to him? 2. About a month ago, one of our female muscovies disappeared...

Hi! So I have some 11 month old French Toulouse geese, and they laid three eggs recently and started building a nest. Should I let them hatch those eggs on their first year? I have heard that you are not supposed to let year old geese hatch eggs because the eggs can be too small and I have seen...

So when I go outside I usually count my chickens. And there is usually six, but this time there was seven! We had a chicken go missing two or three months ago and haven’t heard or seen of her since. Then last night our neighbors dog got attacked by a skunk and mysteriously the next day the lost...

Hi! I have a broody duck’s egg that has externally pipped! I’m getting concerned about it because it has been 27 hours and it hasn’t started zipping yet. It is making chirping noises, and I can see a little beak inside the hole. I attached a pic below of what the egg looks like. Is it normal for...

Hi! I was candling some of my Muscovy duck eggs and noticed the air sac was watery on it. Is it normal? It’s been about 2 weeks since I started incubating it. I attached a video of me turning it slightly so you can see what it looks like. Let me know if the link doesn’t work.

Hello! I have a female Muscovy duck and I noticed she was limping bad. ( I attached pictures below) The last picture is of both feet. Do you know what has caused this? How do I fix it?

Hi! We have been searching for peafowl for awhile now, and we found some three day old peachicks. I was wondering if we got them as babies would they still fly away when they are adults? Thanks!

My ducklings hatched today, and this one had a yolk sac thing. It’s breathing is fine and I heard it chirp a couple times. I also was putting water near the broody hen and I spilled water. 🤦‍♀️ Will it live? I really hope it does because it’s from a duck that died. 🙁

Hi! I have a female pekin duck, she is a year old. She is panting when it is not even hot out and her vent area is red and dripping clear fluid out of it. This has been going on for about a week. She is eating and drinking fine, and seems normal other than the panting. Do you know what is wrong...

Hello! I have two French toulouse geese, that are four months old. They came sexed as male and female, but now I can’t tell the difference! I’ve attached pictures below. The first two pics are of the one I think is the girl, she is not as loud and vocal as the other goose, they are both close to...

Hello! I have some duck eggs that were being sat on by a broody for three days, but then the mother was killed. 😔 We didn’t discover it for a whole day, because her nest is far from the other birds. We put some of her eggs under a different broody, and I was wondering if they have any chance of...

Hi! I have this young 3 month old chicken, it’s a gold star, it was from our local feedstore and was supposed to be a girl, but I’m afraid it’s a rooster. If it’s a rooster we’ll have to sell it. Fingers crossed it’s a girl…

Hello! When my broody was off her nest, I went to check on her eggs and one was broken! Is there a way I can save it?

Hi! One of my roosters is acting strange. He limping like he has bumble foot, but he doesn’t have it I checked. He’ll only move if I nudge him, or if we throw food on the ground for him to peck at. When he’s not moving he’ll stand there with his mouth open, and he’s lower to the ground than...

They were hatched last summer.

Hi! I had a Muscovy duckling hatch the other day, and it’s gone missing! It’s mother has never had ducklings before, and it’s the only one she had. It was here this morning, and doesn’t wander far from its mother. Our duck yard is very secure and it would be very hard for a ground predator to...

Hi! I have a duck egg on day 27, almost ready to hatch. I was candling it today and saw some weird stuff in the air sac. The mother of this egg has never had a duckling before. Is it possible that the duckling internally pipped and stuff from the egg got in? Thanks!
