    Long string poop that is not worm

    I got two chicks from the feed store on Saturday. Today (Monday) someone has poop that looks like a long worm, like 3” long. But it’s not a worm. It’s poop that breaks up when I touch it. These are tiny couple day old babies. I did start putting corid in their water yesterday because I thought...

    Baby Silkie died unexpectedly

    Hello, I have only had ducks/chickens for a little over a year, so I was wondering if I could get input from those more experienced. Last Friday, I got 2 silkies from a local chicken breeder. She is supposed to be very reputable. People in our chicken group get babies from her all the...

    Bloody stool in 2 week old silkies

    Yes that chick. The stool seems normal now, and acting and eating normally. They were on medicated feed until I got them Friday and put them on non-GMO soy free feed.

    Bloody stool in 2 week old silkies

    I got these two slikes Friday. One now has bloody stool. Coccidia? They're on Texas Naturals Feeds, which I think is nonmedicated. Should I just get them in medicated feed? Is something else better to treat? Could it be something else?

    Buffs are not laying

    I have 4 ducks who were born last August, so just under a year old. 1 White Layer, 1 Welsh, 2 Buffs. They all started laying in January when they were about 5 months old, and I consistently got 4 eggs (every once in a while 5) from them all winter. About 4-6 weeks ago, I started getting only...

    Which Duck Lays The Most Eggs But DOES NOT Fly??

    I got them from Metzer last August. There shouldn't be blood feathers right now, right? Based on their age? They are so squirmy, I don't think I'll have time to check before cutting. I'm so stressed about this.

    Clipping wings

    Hello, I have 4 ducks that I purchased for their egg laying abilities, and because I was under the impression that they wouldn't be able to fly over a privacy fence because they are a bit heavier than wild ducks. I have a Welsh Harlequin, 2 Buffs, and 1 White Layer. They are all pretty...

    Which Duck Lays The Most Eggs But DOES NOT Fly??

    All 4 of mine fly over a 6 foot plus fence, unfortunately. 1 White Layer, 2 Buffs, 1 Welsh Harlequin. Great layers, but I got them because supposedly they wouldn't be able to fly over a privacy fence. That was a lie.

    Can you tell which duck these eggs belong to?

    I have a white layer, Welsh, and 2 Buffs, all barely over 5 moths. They live together and it's not worth their stress for me to separate them to find out who's laying, but I was wondering if there is a way to tell their eggs apart by color or size, or something? It's not a big deal, I'm just...

    Cold AND Rainy

    I know that logically, they can, but they never do go back! Until dark, then sometimes they go back on their own, sometimes not.
