    Mystery of the Mini egg...

    Hey all! Any idea why my Easter egger would lay this peewee egg after laying normally for the past year (other than not laying at all during molting/times of stress...)? And she hasn't layed anything since this one (about 4-5 days ago)-she's generally an egg every other day kinda girl (and...

    Reposting in better section: What's the average size of a normal crop?

    Hi all! A few days ago I posted a thread about my chicken Petunia and this funny head-bobbing thing she does. Many of you said to check her crop; that it looks like something a chicken does when she's trying to move stuff through her crop/ or that she might be trying to "grind" food in her crop...

    Sad day...Lost my favorite hen to a predator.

    Ugh....Lost my sweet girl Bob (yes, we named a hen Bob....it just fit her for some reason) last night, evidently the hen house door wasn't all the way latched and something (most likely a raccoon) managed to get inside the coop. Double whammy...thought the coop was secure, thought the hen house...

    Strange Head-Bobbing dance?? *video*

    Hi all! I just made a post about this in the Easter Egger Club, but thought I'd throw it out there for the general forum...I have an EE that is quite peculiar... She stands very erect most of the time, almost like she's standing at attention with chin tucked in and her cute little chest all...

    What to do?!

    I can't find anybody to give my sweet ducks a new home! I love my ducks, but they are just too hard on my coop area and hen house, not to mention the fact that I'm 6 months pregnant and shouldn't be lifting/dumping a medium sized kiddie pool every couple days....ugh.... Not one response from...

    Seattle area duck lovers-anybody want 3 ducks? *new pics added*

    Hi guys! Well, after lots of contemplation, we've decided to find a new home for our trio of ducks. They are fun and cute, but they are making an absolute mess of the chicken coop/duck yard, and we just don't have the time, energy or money to put into a whole new duck yard. They love being with...

    Darn....think we've got two drakes and a duck....

    Hi All! I am concerned that my trio of ducks have turned out to be 2 boys and a girl....They're only about 10-11 weeks old, so they're not breeding or laying yet, but I am so worried about them when they get to that age! They also don't have drake feathers yet so I can't confirm anything (I'm...

    Anyone else's Pekin ducklings have "wierd" feathers?

    Hi Everyone! So my 7 week old Pekin "Bear" (the one and only miracle duckling that survived being mauled by a black bear a few weeks ago https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=543254 ) has gotten the majority of his/her juvenile feathers, but they're "odd"...some are white...

    Can you identify this duckling?

    Hi gang! Those of you that have been following my story of Bear (the duckling who survived being mauled by a black bear) have been fantastic in your support and well wishes for her speedy recovery! Now I need a little help figuring out the breed of one of her duckling siblings! I originally...

    How to reintroduce duckling into chicken/duck flock...

    Hello again! Well the fantastic news is that my 3 1/2 week old duckling (that was mauled by a black bear) is recovering beautifully! (See original post here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=543254 ) Though she is far from healed up enough to move back out to the coop, I...

    Miracle duckling survived black bear attack (so far!)... (graphic pic)

    Hi everyone! I have been following posts on here for a while (ever since I got a few backyard chickens of my own..) and thought I would post for the first time today! It all started with a broody hen.... We have an Americauna that decided that she was bound and determined to hatch eggs...
