    Duckling in distress

    She must just not know what to do with them. Unfortunately I found another one on the ground this morning. I took her other egg that is close to hatching and out it in the incubator. I have this newest one under a brooder plate now. I'm not sure if it will make it though. It has something going...

    Duckling in distress

    I have a pekin duck that is sitting on eggs. We found a dead duckling a couple of days ago and then found an alive one today that she seems to have no interest in. I have it inside now in a make shift nest on a heating pad on low. It has a small sore on its head but is alive and moving. Seems...

    Coop for my ducks

    I just got my ducks this summer so I haven't had them yet over a winter. They have currently just been staying in my chicken run at night and have covered shelter under my chicken coop inside the run. I know they will need more cover over winter but I'm curious how much cover will be enough. I...

    One too many drakes?

    That's kind of what I figured but thought I would check because I have experienced the other side of that where things are exaggerated and then not a problem at all 😂. I'm hoping I can find someone to take him. 😬

    One too many drakes?

    I got 4 pekin ducks and as I suspected I have 2 females and 2 males. We are prepared to rehome a male but I was curious how much of a problem this usually is? Will this make them more likely to try to mate with our chickens? I know that it has potential to be a problem, but was curious if it was...

    Drake or hen?

    New to ducks here 😊. I know they say you can't tell sex by tail feathers till they are older but the ducklings I have had since 1 week old till now at almost 3 weeks old have had tail feathers that either point distinctly upward with a curve or down. I was just curious if anyone has found this...

    Whats going on?!?

    Thanks 😊. She is a rhode island red. We got her in October and she had a small bald spot because they said she had just finished molting. That is why I'm surprised she is molting again. Especially since it's so cold out. I'm worried if she will have enough feathers to keep warm. I have a warmer...

    Whats going on?!?

    Still new to everything chicken. My adult chicken has stopped laying eggs for about 2 weeks now I noticed last week before we went out of town that she had started losing a few feathers. Got back in town yesterday and noticed she has lost quite a few feathers. She is still eating just fine and...

    Hen not laying!

    Not sure if this is normal because I'm very new to chickens. I just recently got my first ever chicks and am definitely learning new things every day from them. I wanted to get a couple hens that were already producing though as well so that I wouldn't have to wait so long to start having eggs...
