    The khaki-Campbell duck Thread !!!!!!!!

    I read that you lost one, I'm sorry for that! I would be willing to bet that the darker billed khaki is a female and the other a male. We raised 6 from the feed store and got 6 drakes! We were so bummed! We finally ordered 10 hens from metzer farms and "harvested" 3 drakes. The color of the bill...

    Broody Hen Thread!

    I ended up putting a piece of 1/2 inch wire over the door of her house. Her babies couldn't get the idea of walking up the short board going back in their house. As soon as I put all of them back in mama jumped back on the nest. They have food and water in there so they should be okay.

    Broody Hen Thread!

    I'm sorry that was supposed to read had 21 eggs. When I moved her to her private area she had 11 eggs. It seems the hatching period is drawing out because the other hens kept laying in her nest. What to do???

    Broody Hen Thread!

    My hen had 5 of her eggs hatch Saturday and Sunday. She still has 6 eggs in her nest. One is piped and all are cold. She has been on the nest but I notice her lifting up because the babies are walking around. I tried to candle the eggs and only give her the most developed eggs. She has 21 eggs...

    The khaki-Campbell duck Thread !!!!!!!!

    My ducks are 13 wks old. I have 4kc hens, 4 white layers hens, 2 buffs hens, 1 white layer drake. They need to be incorporated into the bigger coop because the girls are getting very loud. We're in the country but our neighbors aren't that far away. My only problem is that I feed my chickens...

    Broody problem?

    I don't think its possible to force a chicken to eat. I meant entice her to eat. The post was very helpful, thank you!

    Broody Hen Thread!

    Thank you for the reply! I won't worry. I do have a feeling she isn't getting off the nest. We have our coupe divided and she has her own area. I haven't seen any new broody poops since I posted that picture. I do have food right by her and she seems uninterested. I will cook her an egg and give...

    Broody problem?

    Yes she is broody. I was worried because it is so watery. I know chickens can get watery poop if they aren't eating. I think that might be the problem. I don't know how to make her eat :-/

    Broody problem?

    [/IMG] This is my barred rocks poop. Not at all like my other broody Americana poop. What should I do? Do you think she isn't eating? I switched her from layer pellets to non medicated grower crumble. It has been raining a lot and the temps have been mid 30's at night and 50's- high 60's during...

    Dead chick 2 more sick

    The temp is 99.5. It was hard to monitor the temp because they kept mocking the thermometer off the other eggs. My husband just made a coolerbator so I don't have to use the styrofoam bator any more. I took them out of the bator and put them in a separate brooder and they are doing great! It may...
