    My duck's bill is injured

    She is doing good actually. We think a fox got her. The same fox we later found out took another duck a few days later and never ate him. My daughter found him alive in the den

    My duck's bill is injured

    We got up this morning and it looks like something may have gotten our pekin duck. She has a tear in her bill that looks more like a clean saw cut. It is not bleeding but I am fearful that the beak could break off. She is still trying to eat and drink. Should we just leave her be? Any first aid...

    7 week old today Crested Swedish Flower Hens, Boys or Girls?

    hmm Don't take my word for it but the grey one carries him/herself more like a roo. But I am not familiar with the breed at all so I really don't know. Hopefully someone else is around here.

    SLW roo or pullet?

    SLW is one of the only breeds where I think the hen is prettier. I can't wait for my 2 to grow up!

    Pekin Duck Club!

    I think everyone had a really nasty winter. Right before it hit our neighbors dug a giant hole in their yard and everyone as like what in the world are they doing? It turns out they were making a pond and they had some pekins 6 to be exact. Now I only see 3. They kept them outside all winter...

    Unidentified 'frypan special' bird.

    I'm new to chicks but to me it looks like you have a barred rock sebright mix. (please don't hold me to that) I had both and it has features of both. Like I said, I'm new so I'm probably wrong on the mix.

    aww She is gorgeous. We just put our chicks out and on their 3rd night we had one vanish before bedtime. I still look for her every day just in case.

    Pekin Duck Club!

    We have 3 right now. 2 possible females 1 possible male all about 9 weeks old. They are so cute but refuse to be separated. They are noisy and dirty, but did I mention cute? We enjoy just sitting out back and watch them quack around the backyard, swim in the pool, and eating the tree...

    Do certain breeds have smaller wings?

    Good question. I bought 4 red pullets and they all look the same except for one. She is slightly smaller, darker and has a shorter tail and wings. So I have no idea.

    3 chickies to identify if we can please!

    Thank you for your responses! Well I will be happy with a couple of silver laced. I argued with the store for about a half hour they swore they were barred rocks. Glad to hear that I should have some b&w pullets at least. I also grabbed a couple of black astralorps and a couple of guinea. Now...
