    chick with bad feet

    I have a chick and her hatch date is May 15th. She seemed fine as a youngster and now is for the most part sitting on her behind. We have removed her and brought her inside where we are feeding her and watering her because a couple of the roosters used to fill the box started to peck at her...

    Pekin Duck Club!

    We just got 4 pekin ducklings last week. It was a spur of the moment type thing but we used to feed our friends' ducks. Is there any easy way to tell which sex they are. Two have more orangeish beaks and two are more pinkish. We are also getting chicks and are trying to decide what we can do...
