    What could this be?

    Awesome! Thank you so much!! I didn’t know that they had so many!

    What could this be?

    And it’s more up at the shoulder area by the side of the neck, not so much under the wing or at the breast area where those two videos show. Also probably the size of a medium bouncy ball.

    What could this be?

    Shes acting totally normal and not like anything is wrong at all. It was one that had gotten pecked by another pullet earlier which is why it’s got some feathers missing. But they never broke skin or caused bleeding.

    What could this be?

    So I was out checking on my flock and looking closely at them bc I was evaluating the injured after a brutal massacre by some predator last night. I came across this guy and I’m not sure what it is. Any info or advice would be appreciated. Feels liquidy, and soft to push on and not hard.

    Mixed flock versus single breed flock - pros and cons? Which do you keep?

    I have a mixed flock. I started with a doz Rhode Island reds and rooster for egg production but I caught the chicken obsession and got hooked on the different colored eggs so I bought two doz hatching eggs which were chickens and ducks. Only one duck made it through so I bought 5 khaki Campbells...

    Duckling leg

    I am so sad to say that we ended up culling it :( the cons outweighed the pros. I knew it was happy and healthy now but I had to think of it’s future. I was afraid he wouldn’t be living a happy or good life out in the coop. It wouldn’t be able to get in and out and the risk of being picked on by...

    Duckling leg

    Okay so here are some better pictures. It’s walking around but can’t extend the other leg very much either but that one isn’t as stiff and it’s not extended upwards either. The hip joints on both sides are flexible and mobile. On the right leg, which is the major problem one, the knee is not...

    Duckling leg

    Yea it’s like it’s locked at the knee joint :/ but it’s happy energetic, drinking water, cuddling with the other ducklings. Seems to be happy and starting to use its beak in place of using that leg to walk with

    Duckling leg

    I don’t think so. They are pretty stiff so I’m not sure that would work

    Duckling leg

    That’s what I was thinking too :( he was the last to hatch. He is lively and energetic and it’s getting around but I think the other leg isn’t quite right either.

    Duckling leg

    My hatch of ducklings finally finished yesterday afternoon. As I was moving the last duckling to the brooder I noticed something was wrong and I saw for sure what it was when I sat him down. He couldn’t walk to the other ducklings so I looked at his legs and realized that his one leg bends...

    First time momma duck

    I don’t know what else to do bc I had another one that started to pip in the evening and I didn’t want anything to happen to it over night and lose another duckling so I took the eggs and put them in the incubator that I already had set up and going. Since then the first is almost hatched and...

    First time momma duck

    19 including the ones we lost. They definitely seemed like they were getting stuck or something. How many is a good hatch to avoid that? Is it common for that to happen?

    First time momma duck

    So I have a first time momma duck sitting on eggs. The hatching process has started two days ago. So far four ducks have hatched, but three out of the four have ended up hatching perfectly fine but within 24 hrs have ended up dead. Two of them looked like they were stuck between the other eggs...
