    Breeding Ducks for the First Time

    So should I keep her in with the other ducks and just keep an eye on her so she doesn’t get hurt?

    Breeding Ducks for the First Time

    Ok— I’m thinking of adding a few more hens (a pekin, a rouen, and a crested) that a neighbor is rehoming— but I don’t know what to do with the mallard. I’ve only had a handful of mallards and call ducks... Most of my hens are 6-8 pounds. I don’t want her to get hurt when I breed her. Should I...

    Breeding Ducks for the First Time

    The Golden 300 and the Mallard are together. They mount each other but are definite females. Will a Khaki drake harm the mallard if he attempts to mate with her, being so much larger?

    Breeding Ducks for the First Time

    I have a gorgeous Golden 300 HyLayer hen, about 7-8 months old now, laying a large white egg every day. I want to breed her— I know that they are hybrids and can’t bear true offspring... Regardless of this, and because I’m personally a huge fan of mutt ducks, I’ve looked at available males in...

    Growth on Chick’s Eye?

    I’m going to try and lance it tomorrow morning. I’ve been keeping a close eye on her. She seems well, I haven’t been using Neosporin because I don’t want to irritate it more. I’ll see what happens and keep y’all updated!

    Growth on Chick’s Eye?

    I’m afraid to lance it... How would I go about doing so? She doesn’t like me touching it and I don’t know if I’d be able to keep her still. Using Neosporin now.

    Growth on Chick’s Eye?

    It’s miracle care. Not a tick. I’m going to stop using the medicine— it only seems to be getting worse.

    Old enough to go without a light?

    I put the big guy in my outdoor brooder, just for the day atleast. I’m gonna try and get a pullet about his size— I bought him in a pair, male and female. The female was killed by one of the neighbors catsAnyways, I’m going to stop by my across-town-farmer-neighbor guy and see if he has any...

    Old enough to go without a light?

    This guy has been fighting with another one of my male chicks. I separated them after realizing he drew blood. I don’t have an extra light for him but I put a heating pad over some wire shelving and created a sort of brooder thing that he can go under to stay warm. He’s very distressed without...

    Growth on Chick’s Eye?

    This little bantam baby has some sort of growth on her eye... I noticed it a few days after we got her, I’ve been using a q-tip to apply AntiFungal/Antiseptic Spray daily or every other day. It seems to have gotten larger, and I can tell it’s bothering her— She scratches at it and cries when I...

    Cockerel or Pullet?

    Purchased this bird as a “gamefowl/fighting rooster” (not for that purpose of course). Was told it was a cockerel.

    The Most Adventurous Chicken I’ve Ever Met

    This is Daniel Ray, a gamefowl of sorts that I impulsively bought from a shady guy in a parking lot somewhere. Anyways, D. Ray, as we call him, has been through some pretty crazy chicken adventures. He, as well as his chicken sister and duck brothers escaped— and he was the only one who...

    She’s definitely an Easter egger.

    Bantam chicks? What variety are these?

    Oh gosh! I was hoping for both hens but that’s okay... They were both sold to me as bantam chicks.
