    This Duck Doesn't Lay Eggs

    Two years ago I purchased two ducklings. One is a female mallard who lays regularly for about two months each year before stopping. The other is a buff who has never laid an egg yet has none of the identifying traits of a drake. So is it male or female.... Because my mallard hen is trying sit...

    Meat birds

    I live in town and would like to raise a few meat birds next year. Living in town means I can't do roosters. Could I feed large breed hens the same way I would roosters and still get the same amount of meat on them?

    New goslings in my house

    Ok, everyone, I have a bit of a story to tell you. about a two weeks ago, my mother answered a FB post in our local area, someone was looking for a home for two "ducklings" that had been dropped off at her husbands work place (he's CA Fish and Game). The original owner had received them as an...

    HELP!

    I have a few OEGBs around to help with an ant problem. This morning one of them fell into the duck pond. I took her in to dry her off and found swelling and dried poop around her vent. I cleaned it up but now it kind of looks like her vent is blown inside out. WHAT SHOULD i DO?!?!

    Got a horse with a cold

    A few days ago one of our horses began showing some signs of diarrhea. At first we thought she might be colicky since her poop had a disturbing quantity of dirt in it. We have elevated her hay so it is no longer on the ground where she can ingest the dirt with her feed. It has progressed to...

    Bottle Baby goats.

    Hi there, everyone. I have a baby goat that I recently got that I am bottle feeding. He's just now 4 weeks old and was bottle fed goat milk by his previous owners. We don't use formula and we don't have a goat in milk. So we use regular cow milk instead. He didn't like it plain and I've found...

    Temp

    I am attempting my first hatch. Is it normal to have a slight temperature fluctuation in styrofoam incubators? It vacillates between a degree above and a degree below 100.

    Large coops versus small coops

    I am new to chickens and have a question about coops. I intend to have a large flock of about 25-30 laying hens, plus a few roosters. I've done my research and know that, as a rule of thumb, 2-3 sq ft per LF chicken is ideal to prevent problems arising. What I want to know is: Does this...

    New chicks and Old hens

    I'm going to be hatching my first batch of chicks this spring and I've been wondering if I should get a couple of old hens to "ride flock" on them once I take them out of the brooder. Last year I had no troubles adding a half dozen old hens to my small flock of 4-month-olds but I don't know if...

    WTB Hatching Eggs

    Hello all! I'm new to chickens, having had my first flock just this year. All, save two, I lost to a wandering bear. I live in town right now but will be moving to our 40 acre ranch in April. I'm looking to hatch my own next year, rather than buy chicks from a hatchery, and thought it might be...

    Two questions about coops and runs

    First about the coop. my chickens will only be in the coop at night and will be free-ranging during the day in their 23' x 25' run. Should I use any kind of floor covering, like straw or pine chips? Also, hardware cloth is hideously expensive to buy for such a large run. Yet, I look around...

    Breed Advice Wanted

    Hi, I'm new here, and new to raising chickens in general. I had a mixed trial flock of 12 and 2 turkeys this year (lost all but two chickens to a bear recently), and next year I plan to have a larger flock for egg laying and meat. I wanted to know what breed of chicken would match best with...
