    Stuck egg or? (duck)

    I read your entire thread. What have you been feeding her before she got sick ? I raised quite a few ducklings this past summer. Well I guess I should have kept a better eye on the hubby. He was feeding them layer crumbles when he would notice them out of feed. The one male duck got curled up...

    It’s getting cold here! Ducks absolutely will NOT use their house!

    You need to put them in a secure type building for at night. A predator will wipe them out real easy if they are sleeping outside with no protection. My group goes into their building at night for lockdown. They have a kennel run that is tarped including the roof. They can go into the bigger...

    Swollen head

    It looks like a cold and the sinus discharge is backed up in it's eye. That is if there is a clear discharge coming out of the nostrils and some coughing, etc. Isolate the bird from any others. Wear plastic gloves when handling it. And then make sure to wash your hands afterwards. And change...

    I think my duck is hurting my hens

    It's very probable the male duck. My Muscovy male killed 3 pullet chickens in less than 24 hours. He was trying to mate with them, and just flattened them. The older hens knew to stay out of his way. I have some ducks separate from my chickens. I have a pair of khaki's and 2 Muscovy hens that...

    I WANT A ROOSTER BUT DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START!

    HI, You did not say why you wanted a rooster. With white leghorns, they probably won't go broody. So if you want a rooster to get babies, you will need a few hens that will go broody for you. A solid black or red rooster might work good for you. If you only want a rooster to have a rooster, then...

    Laying Troubles

    Yes on too many roosters. You may have something getting into your coop. If you have a outside run, does it have a roof over it ?

    What to feed chickens to lay more eggs.

    Hi Mac, Are you certified organic ? In this state to be able to sell eggs as organic, we have to be certified. I just call my eggs natural and when asked about organic, I mention that we practice quite a few organic methods, but no, we are not certified. Too much red tape. We have a small set...
