    Sick Duck - anyone know what it is?

    Broody? Huh, I did find her hiding on 2 eggs in a “secret nesting box” while checking up on her the day before yesterday. I thought maybe she was just trying to hide because in 2 years she’s never gone broody. I’ve never had a duck go broody. Does eggless-broodiness cause them to walk slow...

    Sick Duck - anyone know what it is?

    I’ve had a sick duck for about a few days now. She’s 2yo and had been egg bound once in the past, so I first assumed that’s what it was. Now I’m not sure and trying to gather as much info as possible here. One day she started keeping to herself and not going off to play with the other ducks...

    Sick Duck - possibly egg bound or ate something toxic?

    Hi everyone, I’m hoping for some advice as we are researching as well, but we have an adorable buff duck that is 1.5 years old. She started acting strange about a week ago and would isolate herself from the rest of the flock. Even when free ranging, she would come out but just kept to herself...

    What is my rooster doing?

    That would make sense, this literally happened a minute after my fiancé finished building the shelf (to add another waterer and feeder with having more chickens) ... My fiancé just now is like, “he’s gonna try to take credit for the new shelf I just built . Dammit. 😡” .

    What is my rooster doing?

    I got him a week ago and her yesterday. Don’t usually adopt chickens at that rate, but that’s just how it worked out. Well he walks right up to her today for the first time and just lays next to her and starts making this weird noise I’ve never heard a rooster make? (I’ve owned 4 roosters...

    Well you’ve definitely explained this in a more helpful way and for that I thank you! This is my first time raising chicks from incubation at any cross. I just really wanted their dad to live on, since he was the best rooster ever.

    Thank you for educating me there ❤️. Do you mean dark Brahma? The Dark Brahmas baby is the first one. “Reddington” minus the “lady” title until further notice.

    We just hatched 4 eggs. All the same dad (Rhode Island Red) and 1 egg was from a dark Brahma and 3 eggs were from a buff Brahma. Reading up on Sex Links, I learned that RIR Rooster cross with a LIGHT Brahma hen would make for easy sexing in that boys will be yellow and girls will be red. But is...

    Ameraucana- boy or girl?

    “Blue“ indeed turned out to be a lovely lady who lays beautiful blue eggs and loves being pet. She also “mothers” my goslings pretty well too which is super cute. Especially since they’re already twice her size lol.

    Cool. Yeah predator safety is good here. I'm obsessed with it. They have fort knox for a coop and run and all sorts of decoys, motion sensor lights, gadgets, wifi cameras. I just wanna make sure they're happy too. Thank you.

    Questions about imprinting...

    Thank you for the response. So, will they be okay when they're outside without me? I will of course visit and cuddle throughout the day when they're out there.
