might just have a clogged oil gland on the back of the tail..... sometimes we get ducks like that and it takes them until the next molt to feather in the right way.
The 50/50 ratio is based on 100 chicks. If you only order a handful of chicks your numbers can go either way. Doesnt mean someone is trying to cheat you out of pullets. When we sell chicks we reach into the hatcher and pull out the number you ordered. Late hatches and extras get put in the...

I am not sticking up for anyone at the flea market, but if we are selling ducks somewhere and we give them an endless supply of water all they do is play in it, make a mess and then they are swimming in mud. There would also be people complaining about our muddy ducks. We do water them on a...

Hey! Great seeing you guys last weekend! I had the windows open driving through Etown. The guy behind me had his windshield wipers on trying to brush the chicken feathers off of his car.
spoken by a true chicken gal.... I told you to put those chickens in cages
here is our rooster house/ show pen We put up the older show birds after they molt and start conditioning them.... the younger pullets are housed on grassy, shaded runs without a rooster.
Went to lock up the animals a minute ago and found a runner with his head stuck in the wire. it looked like his head and neck went over and under the wire like a basket weave.
some 2011 Wyandottes in the grow out pen and the runners in the back... they get along great!
