    Kakhi Campbell New Owner

    I bought 2 Kakhi Campbell ducks last night. Today I took them out to the coop and introduced them to the chickens. So far everything seems to be going fine. Is it alright to keep the ducks with the chickens? And is it ok for them to eat layer pellets? Thanks for any replys.

    Hen Limping

    One of my hens has been limping for about a month now. I have looked at its foot and I don't see a cut or any swelling. It looks a little bigger than the other foot but not too much. There is also a dot in the middle of the foot. Any ideas on what it could be?
