    no eggs

    Thank you for your reply. My EE is was a year old in April. The last egg was not even a soft shell, it was no shell at all, it had no form, it was like an egg in a frying pan. Her comb is red and I really can't see anything that would indicate she is sick. I also mix oyster shell calcium in...

    mean muscovy

    I just have two chickens and one duck . I don't know if the duck is male or female but it is less than five months old and that seems young to me for it to want to be mating.

    At what age do Black Australorps begin to lay their first eggs???

    Wow finally after 22 weeks my australorp started to lay and its been an egg a day for 5 days in a row. The eggs are very small but I think that's because she's new at this. Now I'm wondering about the easter egger that's the same age.

    At what age do Black Australorps begin to lay their first eggs???

    I think a watched chicken doesn't lay! My australorp is 22 weeks she has very red comb and squats every time you get near her but still no eggs.

    no quack

    I have a 9 week old pekin duck who has not started to quack neither does he have have a curl feather. I say he but I don't know if it's male or female. If it's a female should it be quacking by now? If it's a male when should he get his curl? Thanks for any info.

    dont know

    I have a pekin duck that is about a month old. Today he looked like he has blood down his chest but when I picked him up I couldn't find any place on him that he may have bleed from. I am wondering if it came from his mouth or nose. Does any one have any ideas?

    How much do you sell your eggs for?

    I'm sure Chicago is a lot different than central California but eggs in the grocery store here are about 2.50 a dozen. You can buy them farm fresh anywhere from 3.00 to 6.00 depending on if they are considered organic and free range.

    baby duck

    I have 2- 12 week pullets and 1- 2 week old duck. The chickens have been getting "Start n' Grow" feed. I keep it away from the duck. The pet store sold me some unknown feed for the duck and said not give it the "medicated" chicken feed. My question is, are my pullets old enough to have layer...
