I have two 12 week old silver appleyards I'd like to put In with my drake in the main flock. Are they old enough? If not, when would it be safe to do so. I do have 2 other ducks as well. So hopefully it will be an OK ratio.

Yup I have a full feeder and waterer in there. She successfully hatched 2 clutches of 10 eggs last year. I don't know what to do with her. She's been very aggressive to my other chickens and now this. I'm beyond frustrated at her killing a sweet little baby. I've reached out to a local...

My old English bantam Orpington mixed hen has always been a great mom but she's showing concerning behaviors this season. She's been sitting for 24 days on about 22 eggs from herself and other hens. We've had 6 chicks hatch. One became shrink wrapped and died. I suspect she pecked it as it was...

Hello! I have a diehard hen sitting on eggs and boy is she grumpy. In the past she has gotten off to eat or drink once a day but she's not budging. I gave her some blueberries yesterday but I'm concerned about her dehydrating. Do I put a hamster water bottle in her nesting box or what?

One of my ee chickens keeps laying this type of blue banded egg. I noticed today there’s black raised spots all over it. Is this considered pimpling? I feed them 7 way, all flock pellets, and oyster shell daily. Is this potentially a health issue?

Interesting 🤔 we shall see what they grow up to be but my hope is silver appleyard 🤞

Thanks for the response 🙂

Sorry I should’ve mentioned these are all sexed female

Their feet are yellow and black. I’m thinking they could be silver appleyard but someone suggested to me they could be welsh harlequin

Good morning! Just got my mixed ducklings from metzer this morning and I was hoping for help identifying the ones with the black spots on their head and dark tails. I think I have one pekin and the rest might be Rouen? Thanks in advance!!

It’s ok I had to google what that acronym even was lol! Having my coffee now ☕
