One of my Maren hens has a swelling on her vent. When I noticed this Sunday evening there was a blackish discharge, but that was gone in the morning. I isolated her, just in case it was some kind of disease. In her water I put apple cider vinegar and some cayenne. Lat night the swelling was...
One of my ducklings that i hatched the other day is very listless. All that he wants to do is sleep under the heat lamp, while the other two in with him tun around and eat and drink. He won't even eat. He's been this way since yesterday afternoon, before that he was eating and drinking.

I have a duckling that's about two months old. I think that's she's a hen. I was thinking that hey, she should be old enough to introduce to my existing ducks, a hen and two drakes. I decided to take it slow, and had her in a wire dog kennel on the ground at night for a few days. The older...

My sweet cayuga drake Dobkin has begun to get kind of mean. He will "sneak" after me, pretending not to have been doing anything when i turn around, which is kind of cute. the real problem is when i pick up our affectionate gander Kingsley. He will charge right up and start biting my feet. It...
I was raising two geese in hopes of a male and female, but they are two males. One of my friends offered to bring her female over so we can get fertile eggs to incubate, or vis versa. How long should we leave the two together?
Hi i have a Maran hen who is not laying. She is way past the age when my Americaunes started laying, in fact, there are a few hens who are younger than her who are laying! We have her in a confined area so that I'll know when she lays, but it's been two weeks and I'm still not seeing any. She...
i just found an egg this morning and I'm wondering if my khaki campbell hen Celisse has started laying. i found it behind a piece of sheet metal in my hay barn, where Celisse had been just moments earlier. it was still warm.
I've looked at pictures on Google and it seems to be the right color...
I have four two week old Americauna chicks that have fowl pox. I've read that you should give them vaccines, but I'm a big naturalist. I have them and their mama isolated and have put garlic and apple cider vinegar in their water. What else can I do?
This is a place where you can talk about cute and funny things that your ducks have done! I'll start:
I keep my runty Cayuga drake with a pair of Chinese geese, Big Guy and Hot Head. They like to pal around and to splash in the kiddie swimming pool I gave them! Whenever I dump it out to clean...
I have a two month old Cayuga drake that I have raised from a day-old. I've been pretty sure that he's a Cayuga, but lately he doesn't seem to be growing any more and I was wondering if maybe he is possibly a Black East Indies? Or is it to soon to tell?
Hi everyone! My name is Seth and I'm new to this place. I have one Cayuga duck and two Chinese geese, and am planing and getting more of different breeds! Nice to be here everyone!
