    So about 4 weeks ago I noticed my female Rouen was no longer applying weight to her right foot.

We brought her inside the house to the...

    Something wrong with my 3-4 mn Cayuga Female "Midnight"

    I noticed last Sunday that my Cayuga was acting off. She seemed to be gagging a bit just pecking around at the grass during the day then she just out of the blue flipped on her back.

    Is showing Ducks not popular?

    We just got back from the Florida State Fair and were so excited to see all the ducks being shown! To our disappointment there was only 1 small row of ducks but the chickens had several rows and some stacked two high. I only saw a couple calls. A couple pair of Rouens (holy moly those are big...
