    Yes I think he must be a Rouen. Doesn’t fly and would be around 6 pounds.

    Uhoh I have a big duck

    So I have recently rescued 2 battery hens and a mallard duck. At the moment they are in separate pens while we look after all their health issues. I had read that ducks are fine to be in a free-range chicken flock ... after more investigation I have also read that the males might try to mate...

    What has happened to my battery hens foot?

    What has happened to my battery hens foot?

    Hi guys, I have recently rescued a couple of battery hens to live a happy, free-range life on my property but one of them has a sore, misshapen foot. What can I do, if anything, to help her? I’m scared to let her free range with the others incase they attack her because of the injury. They both...
