    Lethargic ducklings dying!

    Update - she's a bit more lively but still very tired. Any advice would be helpful. I have her with some wet foot and water and a heating pad.

    Lethargic ducklings dying!

    One of my fawn and white runner ducklings is being super lethargic. I had another one acting this way the other day and she died - does anyone know what to do? She doesn't feel very warm so I brought her inside but I don't know what's happening!

    Salmon Faverolles cockerel tail feathers?

    Cupholder is about 10 months old and got these about a month ago. He has one on each side and they dangle a little bit (reminds me of a racket tailed drongo lol) Will he grow out of them? Are they show quality?

    How long to wait to assist?

    One of my duck eggs pipped while I was at school. I don't hear peeping or see much rocking but I haven't seen any progress in at least 4 hours. I'll check again in the morning but should I do anything now? And if there's still no progress by then, should I do anything then? (day 24)

    Duckling eye weepy and shut?

    She has 24/7 water but one of her sisters is a little stir crazy so I wouldn't put a whacking against her. Other than the eye, she's acting perfectly normal and energetic. Her poops are healthy and she's running around like all the others.

    Duckling eye weepy and shut?

    One of my female runner hens is closing her eyes and scratching them a lot. Any advice? I already have her separated with a heating pad.

    Central AR - Cockerel for trade

    He's a half Blue Crele Ameraucana and half Silver Crele Leghorn. (DOB: 24th April 2025) I'm willing to trade for any birds (minus other roosters). I could throw in some money if needed to make it fair, but he has got to go. He's kind enough to be a inside chicken if need be, but I have too many...

    Sleepiest chicks ever!

    Never in my years of brooding chicks have I met a pair as exhausted as these two RI Reds. I got them from atwoods (where everyone in their container was happily sleeping), now I have them home and I feel like I never see their eyes! I know they're eating and drinking well, and they're completely...

    Muscovy or magpie?

    This is Lunky, my 3-day-old baby. I got him with a pair of (maybe) rouens and a fawn&white runner. Is it possible to tell the difference already?

    Rouen or Mallard?

    Just got these kiddos from Atwoods and was feeling curious. Not expecting a definitive answer, but excited for the guessing game.

    How to get rid of Biting Midges?

    My eldest rooster has been getting his comb devoured by the local carnivorous midge population. I've treated the coop with diatomaceous earth, especially the dust bath area, but they free range during the day. Should I do any other treatment? Will anything keep them away from him while he's out...

    Power outage concerns

    I gave my boyfriend's mother a few eggs and let her borrow my incubator on thursday (they started incubating that night). Today (Saturday), while they were out of the house, the power was out for ~6 hours - is this detrimental? Should they toss the eggs out?

    ISO Chinese geese/goslings/eggs

    I got him a pair of african goslings to go along with him. It's the best I could do and they seem to be getting along swell.
