    What breed is this?

    I adopted some chickens from an acquaintance when they were about 3 weeks old. She told me they were either americauna or buff orpington, both of which I have experience with.

    Coop door help!

    My coop to the safe run just has an open hole. I used to go out every night and close it, because in the winter I didn't want them to be cold. I gave up on that a couple years ago and took the door off. Even though it gets down to -50 windchill (I'm in Minnesota) they are just fine. As long as...

    @Pak Rat sadly, he/she passed away just a couple days after I posted this. I'm not sure if it had something going on internally as well. Poor thing.

    Broken duck wing

    I have a Pekin that was grabbed by something through their fence. There was a pile of wing feathers outside the fence and it appears the duck's wing is broken. She is foraging normally and walking around with the rest of the flock. Should I let her be? What do I do?

    Help! Duck hatched with sac still attached to egg

    My first duck hatched today, day 26 after pipping yesterday. It appears that the yolk sac is not completely absorbed and it still attached to the shell. The duck is alert and pretty chatty. She lifts her head up and looks around. What do I do? Do I let her lay there and hope it absorbs or do i...
