    The Hardiest Chicken Breeds

    I am looking to add to my flock and would like to know the hardiest chicken breeds to choose from. I lost 4 of my first flock of 5 to Marek's disease. Then I got 3 more. One became egg bound. I was able to remove the egg, took her to the vet and she seemed ok. A month later she died anyway...

    My Duck Has Gone Lame in One Leg

    I hope you have better luck than me. I had a white peeking female duck that went lame about 8 months ago. I thought she might have injured it some way getting in or out of her baby pool. I do have something to help step into the pool though. After about two weeks there was no improvement so...

    Duck Introduction

    That's a good idea as a reminder of the problems of selling chickens and ducks at Easter. People buy them on a whim and then just leave them to fend for themselves.

    😂 No, but it was another male white pekin which we had a long time.

    Duck Introduction

    Thank you for your reply. I will keep that in mind with my decision to put my ducklings in with Stella, my white pekin.

    Duck Introduction

    The white ducks at the park are abandoned. I picked up one little yellow baby two days after Easter one time. I checked very carefully to make sure mom or pop wasn't around. It was cold and shaking. I took it to the feed store. The worker opened up a bag of feed and the baby jumped at it...

    Duck Introduction

    We get white pekin ducks every spring at this park. There is a lady that captures them by December of every year and takes them to a rescue, she says. I saw one white duck that was smaller that surprised me. It was hanging with the mallards and took off flying with them eventually. I don't...

    Duck Introduction

    Thank you for your response. I wouldn't put them together until I talked to someone with experience like you. Yes, these are white colored Duclair female ducks. When you say to start introducing them to Stella at the second half of their juvenile stage, what age would that be? When I looked...

    Duck Introduction

    I have a white pekin duck that I keep separate from my chickens because of bullying from the chickens. She is about 2 and 1/2 years old and lonely. I am raising up three French ducks that will look like her but stay smaller. At what age can they go in Stella's pen (white Pekin)? They are...

    Ended Some Poultry Are Red, Some Are Blue, But Let's Not Forget, They Can Be Barred Too!—2025 Valentine's Day Contest Series

    I'm responding to enter the contest. My chicken's names from left to right are Roxie, Brilla, and Farah. They pull on my coat every day, anxious for their treats. Farah got merick's disease and survived it. She is very close and follows me everywhere since I took good care to help her.

    Mareks, recovery and rehabilitation

    Or do I have to cull her anyway?

    Mareks, recovery and rehabilitation

    I have one like that, a black lace Wyandotte. She is about 4 now and walks proud. If the vaccinated hen recovers, when would it be safe to put her back with the other hens? Most are vaccinated.

    I'm so old I Remember when:

    I remember making a dress in home economics class in junior high school. It turned out ok and I had t wear it in a style show the class was doing. I never wore it again because I felt homemade that I made wasn't very good. My mom bought me a leather coat, light blue with red lining when I was...
