    Ducks disappearing

    i had a drake go missing yesterday and this would be the 3rd duck to do this (2 went missing last summer on the same day and all I ever found was one feather, nothing else). We cannot figure out what is going on. Yes we have hawks, foxes, raccoons. I’ve seen a fox attack and it’s not the same...

    Chickens being picked off one by one

    So my first girl, it was everything besides her feet and head and some organs. My second girl, it just looked like a massive hole in her back and maybe ate on that some. Some organs laying next to her. Her eye was pecked out. And both incidents happened during the day in their coop

    Chickens being picked off one by one

    Okay, I’ve had chickens for over 2 years now and no issues besides a fox over a year ago taking my rooster. During the day on Sunday, I let my girls out to free range and opened my coop door to see my silkie dead, feathers everywhere. Head and feet and spinal all attached, looked to be ate on...

    Buff Orpington snaking her head

    Hey guys, I have. 2 year old girl that in the past week has been walking backwards like scratching and bending low with her head to the ground and snaking it. She also was putting her head up and gasping or choking. She’s molting severely and has no interest in food or water. She does scratch...

    Coated grass seed vs ducks/geese

    hi! I have 2 Sebastopol geese and a little flock of ducks that free range around my pond during the day and have a closed off shelter at night. I just laid down KY 31 coated grass seed around the pond to get it to grow since it was all just made 2 years ago and the grass seed last year didn’t...

    Limping, possibly broke?

    Hey guys, as we know it’s pumpkin season. My flock got one and it bounced and rolled hitting one of my girls sides. She’s screeched out and immediately started limping. Her tail is down and breathing rapidly. I’ve felt around on her but don’t feel anything but that doesn’t mean much. My son is...

    Housing/cleaning/BUGS

    I don’t put a lot of pine shavings because summer but maybe that doesn’t make a difference? Also, like I said, their poop is ALOT to where it’s caked and you can’t even see the shavings anymore and there’s maggots. I’m worried that they’ll get in their vents. And with the flies and maggots, I’m...

    Housing/cleaning/BUGS

    I have four ducks and they get to free range during the day in a fenced in pond area (an acre or so). In that fenced in pond area, they have a dog kennel along with a duck house they stay in at night. Ever since I moved them down to this bigger fenced in enclosure, they only get their water...

    Plants 🪴 for the run :)

    Hi! I was wondering what would be some good plants to plant outside of my chicken run that gets nonstop SHADE. I love climbing ones but wasn’t sure if it’d be a good idea since it’s in the shade, I didn’t want it making it too dark I don’t trust Google so I’m coming to y’all!

    Impacted crop?

    My girls are two months old and I’m just not sure how you can tell if she has an impacted crop or if this is normal. She acts normal but I’ve been told chickens don’t look sick until they just die. She’s the only one that looks like this. Not great photos but I couldn’t keep her still. It’s...

    Advice on shed/coop

    It was originally used for basically old junk so no, I’ve not tested it out for anything just yet. The stuff was never really wet unless it was close to the front but I feel like a door would fix that. I thought about cutting out holes and adding a vent or two for more ventilation. I was...
