I have four ducklings--one is a pekin-- probably about a month old. It walked around just fine up until last week. Then all of a sudden it was having a really hard time moving around--it looked like one of its legs had come out of the socket or something! He moved around enough to get food...

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRG. I knew this would happen, but its still depressing and annoying. I really wanted chickens for a long time, and then when I was about to get them, I found out that we had to move. Well, I wasn't sure where we were going to move, but I knew that there was a...

I am so sorry about your girl, tulie. I think I might have an egg bound chicken, myself. I went out there at six o'clock in the afternoon, to check on them and make sure the water was full and everything, and she was sitting in the box, panting like she was getting ready to lay. Well, when I...

That's a great picture, too! Congrats!

Quote: SO TRUE!!! I didn't get a chance to free range last night, I'm willing to bet I get NO eggs today.

For a while there, mine were laying on the floor of the coop. I have coastal hay on the floor, and they'd dig around and make a nest so that they ended up laying on the galvanized flooring underneath. Everytime I threw more hay down they just made it deeper so that they were laying on the...

My brother and my barnevelder ^_^

Quote: I did a search on it, and I don't think it is possible for two chicks to survive. My question is, if the egg was fertilized (I know mine wasn't because I don't have a rooster) would there be two embryos or are there just two yolks? Because the yolk is just food, right?

Quote: It was! I wish I'd taken a pic, but my little bro ate it up before the thought ever occured to me! Lol.

Quote: Beautiful egg!

I'm not for sure, but I think she's around ten months, but I just got her a little over a couple of weeks ago. I got her from a lady on craigslist, and I'm a nube, so it's very possible that I could have misunderstood or was lied to in regards to her age. But, she's laid three eggs since...
