    angel hair worms?

    This may be a very silly question, but are those long white strands moving and wiggling? Are the worms still alive in the poo? I found a couple single strands in different poo this morning but they were NOT moving.

    Still NOT laying

    Thanks for taking the time to reply! I hope that after a year and a half she had more eggs in her! Yikes! She is a pet for sure, but would love her to get the eggs going again! Fingers crossed!!

    Hens eating my duck eggs

    Oh sheesh, sorry lol. No, she laid every other day all winter! But this winter is when I noticed that the hens were eating her eggs. I now get they were eating them as the egg was to weak when it dropped out of her. Maybe this is a seasonal issue?

    Hens eating my duck eggs

    Ok thanks! I have free choice calcium out 24/7, so I just need help in figuring out why she isn’t taking in enough calcium for a hard shell. All the other ducks have very hard shells and no issues.

    Ok, I do free choice for calcium. Was hoping you mentioning the grower feed had something to do with more calcium.

    Why do you feed the Grower compared to the layer? I thought layer had more calcium than Grower? Thanks for your help!

    Hens eating my duck eggs

    A follow up to this thread I started! So, I believe I have discovered that the hens were not pecking and eating this duck’s egg intentionally! As I was able to get to this duck egg before the hens, I found that my Pekin (2 in April) is laying NOT a very hard egg. It is denting or cracking on...

    Hens eating my duck eggs

    Thank you, I have thought about that as well. But they are well fed! They eat a non gmo, soy free layer feed from Sunrise farms. Excellent feed! They also get scratch late afternoon on very cold days, and a bit for breakfast, also on cold days. That is very high protein an I always add...
