    Female duck belly low to the ground

    She still walks around and follows the other two ducks. She also eats and drinks.

    Female duck belly low to the ground

    It felt soft, not super squishy like liquid. And it wasn’t hard either. She’s about 2 1/2.

    Female duck belly low to the ground

    She hasn’t all winter. I got the two females early October and the lady said they had been laying. I haven’t seen a duck egg yet.

    Female duck belly low to the ground

    I’m fairly new to ducks. I have two females and one male. One of my females belly is lower to the ground than normal. (Her belly has always been a little bit lower than the other female, but not this much) She still eats, drinks and walks around. However she does waddle more and it looks like...

    Do Swedish hens lay eggs Year round?

    I got 2 Swedish hens in October. I was told they are around 2 years old and we’re laying eggs. I’ve yet to see or find any eggs. I’m wondering if Swedish hens lay eggs during the winter?

    Broody hen

    I put her in the brooding box in one of our garages Friday night. We left for the weekend for hunting. I checked her this morning and she is laying on them. The chicks will be safe in there until they get feathered and then I will put her and the hen in the run. When we made the run, we put a...

    Change in behavior

    It could definitely be a pecking order. Do you have roosters! I have a hen that my roosters love and she tends to sit in a nest box for a little while after I let my chickens out. Once she does come out she will run and hide. If you don’t have roosters just keep an eye on her. They will...

    Broody hen

    This is my first time having a broody hen. I’m pretty sure I have a broody hen. She has been sitting on eggs for about a day and half now. She has no feathers on her belly (which I’m assuming is normal when hens go broody) She has been sitting in a box that is pretty popular. This morning when...

    Flies!!

    I have a platform under the roosting bars. I had the fly away from the coop and scattered all around the house and the flies were still there so I put one in the coop hoping they would go to that. I use that same spray and will spray multiple times throughout the summer. It keeps the flies down...

    Flies!!

    This year the flies are really bad!! Does anyone have suggestions on how to keep them down in the coop and run? I clean it regularly and have fly traps. But the flies are still in the hundreds in there everyday. (I also have fly traps on the outside and around the house)
