Hi All, So we got some lavender ameraucana girls back in March. When we got them their butts seemed a little dirty and never seemed to clear up and be nice and fluffy as the other girls we got (not lav.ameraucanas). We quarantined them for a few weeks and they seemed fine. But about a week or...

Hi guys in the southbay! Does anyone have an incubator that I could rent for about a dozen eggs? We tried putting eggs under a hen but only 2 hatched and she smushed 1 and the other disappeared?! We were hoping to get a little more control on this next batch but wont really need an incubator...

Recently for the past few days or so I've noticed two of my chickens have this weird sore-type thing on their waddle and comb. The white leghorn seems to have it the worst but it looks like it is slowly creeping up on my blue andalusian as well. They seem to be walking around foraging as usual...

I have a single mallard duckling exactly 7 weeks old. Till the last few days she has been sleeping in a dog kennel that is able to lock, but lately hasnt wanted to go in at night. Instead, she sleeps on the stairs or in her kiddie pool in plain sight for raccoons or other predators! I also have...

I have 3 hens from McMurray's Rainbow Layer Assortment. I am pretty sure one is an Andalusian, the other I believe is a Leghorn, and the third I was hoping you guys would be able to me with. There were originally 25 which we split with our neighbor and my aunt and for some reason havent seen...

Hello I have one 5-week old mallard and three 10-week old chicken hens. I am in the process of building them a large coop with a run and will be putting their food inside. They will be free range during the day but if they need food I would like them to know that their food is in their run, not...

Could you please post ideas and/or pictures of your coops that house ducks and chickens together? Not sure exactly if a duck can live in a normal chicken coop or needs certain additions. I live in southern california and thinking of getting another duckling. I would appreciate any help! Thank you

My 2 week mallard duckling has some really big jugs( large breast) and it seems un-proportioned with the rest of her body. It looks she swallowed a chicken egg and is harvesting it in her breast. For reference she is about 6-7 in. long. We feed her around 10 mini slugs (ranging in size but no...

Our rescued mallard duckling is 2 weeks old, will she start to detach herself from us as she grows. She stopped following us as die-hard as she did a couple of days ago and no longer likes being held though she will still rest in our laps. What should we expect from him/her over the next few weeks?

Or do they need a separate little house or attachments? We are having a coop built for our 3 one-month old chicken hens and 2 week old mallard duckling. We will not put them out till they are a little bigger, especially the duck, and the hens still seem We are building a modest coop in our...
