    What is killing my ducklings? HELP!

    They are 20 days old now, and moved them into a pen in my garden 2 days ago. 2 of them died today, at different times. Everyone acts fine, until I find one dead. There aren't any wounds, or signs of why they died. There food didn't change when I moved them, except now they are getting some of...

    Bird with twisted head, pushes herself over sideways

    I have this Cornish cross that I never go around to butchering, purchased in March, probably a good 5-7 lbs (not good at guessing weights...), and I've gotten fond of her. She has her head twisted all the way around, and pushes herself over sideways until she hits an obstical. She was fine...

    Any particular breeds that continue to lay well as they get older?

    So, everything I read says that hens start laying dramatically fewer eggs once they pass two years old. I'd like to find a breed that continues to lay reasonably well, even when they are older. Any suggestions? I also would like the breed to be one that forages well, and perhaps one of the...

    Got a free roo- can some one tell me what he is?

    I got a free rooster today, I know nothing about him, but I'm guessing he's under a year old. I'm thinking maybe a partridge rock? Any ideas? Thank you!

    Has anyone done a study comparing foraging efficiency?

    Between heritage breeds and commercial/modern strains? I have read over and over people making remarks about heritage breed's better ability when it comes to foraging, but I'm unable to find any hard data. I'm particularly interested in learning if the amount of food heritage breeds get from...

    What happens if you cross a black sexlink hen with a RIR rooster?

    Sorry if this is an annoying question, but I want to know. Would the chicks be sexlinked? Or would they be random colors? I want to know because my RIR "pullet" turned out to be a rooster (which I then had to sell, due to neighbors), and I set the eggs in the incubator because I...well, I like...

    A weird question about a strange chicken

    Alright, so I remember this chicken I had when I was a kid: it looked like two chickens merged into one. One side of it's beak was yellow, the other side was dark gray; it's legs were two different colors, and it's feathers were different colors on each side of the body, split perfectly down...

    How many eggs would you expect?

    Hi! I was wondering how many eggs a day I could expect from a flock consisting of a barred rock, a rhode island red, a silver campine, and a golden hamburg? I'm just feeding 2 people off of these, so it really doesn't need to be too much- I'm just wondering.
