    Duck Egg Pecked - Best Course of Action?

    Okay, it definitely has done that now. Sometimes between last night and this morning. It's still moving in there and may be internally pipped. I did a quick candle and saw movement, so I put it back in there.

    Duck Egg Pecked - Best Course of Action?

    No, it had not internally pipped yet. I am not 100% sure what you mean by receded air sac.

    Duck Egg Pecked - Best Course of Action?

    I have a wonderful and consistent broody sitting on 4 duck eggs. I am unsure of their exact day (my spouse let her sit and didn't document the date). I have been checking them periodically. One has been pecked and broken. The break is in the shell only, not the membrane, and is on the...

    Tolbunt Polish Sexing - 7 Weeks

    Update to the original two. One started crowing, figured is was #1 due to the thoughts about it being a cockeral. However, the crower was #2. I rehomed #2 a week ago and no more crowing. The breeder suggested holding onto #1 a little longer due to the lack of pointed crest feathers. So, we...

    Are game hens chickens?

    No, game hens are not meat birds. They are an older breed. Typically, they are small, flighty and go broody frequently. I like to keep a few to hatch out eggs. They make amazing mamas!

    Am I The Problem? Rooster Talk

    As soon as he sees them, he runs then into the coop, corners them and spurs them. No mating behaviors. He has injured 2 hens. He is currently separated. As I have a strict no animal is allowed to injure another rule. I will see how it goes. Thank you for your reply and insight!

    Am I The Problem? Rooster Talk

    I have raised 3 wonderful roosters. One passed at 8 years, one passed at 2 years and one is 4 years old but lives in my dad's coop. I have been trying to replace my wonderful rooster in my coop for 2 years. All from hatchling and every single one has turned into a giant jerk. I understand...

    Crèvecœur Chick Feathering

    I got my firat Crèvecœur pullet (🤞) from Murray McMurray. She is around 2 weeks old. Her feathers are coming in and appear damaged, for lack of a better term. She also is not growing or feathering as fast as my other chicks the same age. Is this normal for the breed or something I should be...

    3 Day Polish Chick - Malnutrition

    Thank you, I have some in my kit, will get that going asap. I hope she pulls through. I guess if not, I know she didn't die by getting smashed in a farm store brooder. Nothing wrong with the farm stores, just not as personal and attentive as I can be with my flock.

    3 Day Polish Chick - Malnutrition

    Thank you, she is only walking backwards and then falls on her back. No pasty butt, she had a solid poop this morning (on my hand). She had a few watery poops prior to that this morning. I didn't notice/pay attention to any poops yesterday, I got her Tuesday Night. I do have her separate...
