    I need to know the genders on my 2 Khaki Campbells

    I'll try that, they literally look identical besides size. There's no sign of the bigger ones head turning black. I'll try putting it by itself, the problem is that I've heard its voice. It's a chirp with (maybe my imagination) a tiny raspyness to it.

    I need to know the genders on my 2 Khaki Campbells

    I originally thought they were female based on plummage, then I read some where that the plumage is the same until they're about 12 weeks for Rouens and Khaki Campbells. 1 is 5-10% larger and still has a chick chirp, the other one that's a little bit smaller has a female quack. They're both...

    Muscovy duck eggs

    Well, I have both, pekins and muscovies, but they're not laying right now. I get that mallards lay more, but I've yet to see an egg from the pekin.

    Muscovy duck eggs

    Ok, got it. Would you recommend how else to get their egg production up? I forgot to mention in the original post that last year, my two muscovy hens laid their clutch of 40ish eggs in May. Is that very late for them to lay in the year? I hate how Texas weather is so variable lol.

    Sounds like somethings eating / stealing your eggs. What breed is your broody duck?

    Muscovy duck eggs

    Hey guys, my baby Muscovies just started laying eggs (6-7 months) I currently live near Austin tx and am wondering why it took so long for then to start laying? It's still getting cold here so is that the reason? How do I increase egg production? I'm feeding them a mixture of layers feed, duck...

    ***URGENT*** Flock dropping like flys

    I've actually hatched some chicks from these hens before they stopped laying, could they also be affected?

    ***URGENT*** Flock dropping like flys

    @NatJ They have unlimited water all day long, we live around thirty minutes south-east of Austin TX so we are very aware of the heat. As for food, they eat grass and bugs and we try to make sure they eat enough feed. Sometimes there's food left over at the end of the day.

    ***URGENT*** Flock dropping like flys

    Thank you for your prayers @Toastedone and for your advice @azygous, I move the tractors everyday, sometimes even twice a day. I haven't thought about getting a vet sample. @Toastedone could you elaborate on AI? I've never heard of it, these are the first chickens we've had and raised them from...

    ***URGENT*** Flock dropping like flys

    Hey BYC, I just had three chickens die this morning and I have really no clue why and the rest of them haven't been laying eggs, I have around thirty-something hens and one rooster that wasn't doing so well either. I have them in chicken tractors and feed them organic dumor feed. When I feel the...

    ***URGENT*** Baby Chick leg issues

    Thank you guys for the support and comments, I actually took the bandaid off as he/she wouldn't walk with it on. This sounds stupid but I think it walks better without it. The other one maybe I'm just overeacting to a weak chick. But I'll try my best to do what I can I'm just hoping I can save...

    Goose got into motor oil, please help!

    Instead of using saline solution try using baking soda as it is heavy in salt, try mixing two teaspoons into a cup of water and tasting it to make sure it's not overly salty but just enough to where you can taste it.

    Goose got into motor oil, please help!

    I'm no goose expert but I know that this is deadly for any poultry. I would inspect the eyes of this goose and that of another that was not affected and see if there's a difference, maybe some bloodshot in the eyes. Also, I would try and offer it some food to see if it will eat it, maybe if it's...
