    Help with bound eggs

    We used a bit of vasoline and she spent over two hours in a warm tub with occasional massaging and we got no results. Hopefully the vet will be able to do something tomorrow. We mix oyster shell with their food but I will ask the vet if more calcium would help.

    Help with bound eggs

    One of my khakis has been laying slightly misshapen eggs. It seems she has bound up because of this. It feels like there may be two in there now, one seems to be causing a protrusion off to the side. She also constantly has gunk around her vent. My wife is going to pick up some vasoline and we...

    Bad news

    Their run is a 12ft by 12ft chain link fence with a poultry wire roof and I am about to skirt the perimeter with 3 ft of welded wire fencing. Your saying that is not safe enough and I should still lock them in their coop at night? I hate to do that mostly because I have a weird work schedule and...

    Strange behavior.

    I guess my little girl is growing up. Should I expect similar behavior from my khakis and Indian runner as well?

    Strange behavior.

    One of my ducks, the pekin, has been squating down next to me and/or my wife and letting us pet her. Up to a few days ago none of our ducks have liked being touched or held by us. Once we start peting her she will lift her tail in the air and today there was a little discharge when she did this...

    Letting ducklings outside

    Thanks for the reply. We let them out for a few minutes while I changed their bedding. They seemed to enjoy the new experience.

    Letting ducklings outside

    My ducklings are about a week old. I was wondering how long they can be away from their heat lamp and if its safe to let them wonder around my yard, while supervised, for a little while? Thanks, Will

    New duck owner

    Hi everyone. I've been checking out your forum for a while and decided it was time to sign up. Last Wednesday my family received the four ducklings we ordered from ideal poultry and nine extra chicks that we were not expecting. Luckily a friend of mine and his family were happy to take the...
