YAY! Morgana surprised me by going broody on me and now she has hatched her own eggs!! A month ago my male Indian runner sadly was taken by a fox.....For a week it was scary, always being on the look out for foxes. ( my dogs had a great time though helping me chase the fox away ) The chickens...

OK thanks guys! I am keeping an eye on my chickens and ducks and everybody seems good.

I feed them Diatamacious earth in their food as well as letting them free range all day. They also get lots of vegetables and fruit, I have never had this happen to me before it is very strange. She drank water and seemed like she was ok it was just that her heart was racing really fast.

She was an adult Call duck and all my chickens and ducks were wormed recently. What else could this be? It was just 8 hours and then she was gone. No signs, no warnings just gone.

Sadly she passed away this morning. Thank you though.

Thank you all for your help, sadly she just passed away..... I can't believe it happened so fast, she was fine in the morning and then in the afternoon she went down, when I shut her in the coop that night she seemed to be getting better, her breathing wasn't so labored and I had hope that she...

I love my Americana's, my girl Flora is the one who jumps up into my hands and loves to cuddle. Their eggs and feathering are a really pretty color. I really love them.

My female Call duck is acting weird, she looks like she is panting but its cool outside. She was fine this morning and then this afternoon she is breathing weird, her nose is clear and I cant see or feel if anything is stuck in her throat. She drinks water but is sitting down all the time. She...

Look like the white crested is a female, possibly the golden lace one is female as well. OMG I really want some polish again. Your golden laced polish reminds me of mine that I lost 6 months ago, and my others got taken by a predator as well..... Where would be a good place to buy polish eggs?

I bought 10 White call ducks eggs of Ebay and 5 were infertile 4 didn't make it ( I don't know what happened they just didn't hatch ) and then the last one hatched and died 4 days later. It was so hard to see that, I have been trying to get white calls ducks for a while now and thought hey I...

Are you going to keep them? They are pretty cute!

Yes she hatched 5 ducklings herself I was surprised to see that she could sit on all of them and keep them equally warm, I kept an eye on her to see if I needed to rescue any eggs that were not under her but she did it and all turned out beautifully, before I had her starting laying on the duck...

Thank you! When the babies first discovered water, my hen freaked! She clucked and clucked telling them it was danger and to stop swimming but the ducks just looked at her seemingly to say "Why don't you come in?" LOL

Hello there!! And thank you!

Thank you! It was so cute to watch her raise these little guys.
