    Pheasant Chicks Not Eating/Drinking?

    We received 20 pheasant chicks from Hoover Hatchery by mail last Thursday. One arrived dead and we've had three more die over the past couple days. There's a fourth who looks like he's not going to make it. I'm trying to figure out what's going on in case I need to do something for the other 15...

    Failure to thrive?

    I've got one chick out of a batch of 16 day olds that arrived on the 2nd that is having issues and I can't seem to figure out what it is. Chick seems to be smaller compared to the others and isn't growing wing feathers at the rate of the others either. Seems very sleepy, and often is standing...

    Sick Turkey, Drooping Head

    Found our tom turkey standing in his pen today with his head down (eyes open). He lives with two other ladies, both of which seem fine. Usually the three of them come running when we feed them, but tom was just standing there with his head down the whole time. Tried just putting some food in...

    Double Yolker Genetics

    I wasn't sure if I should put this in the genetics section or the egg laying section, but here it goes! So I have a chicken that's given me 3-4 double yolk eggs in 2 weeks. I know it's fairly common when chickens first start laying, but it got me thinking... Is laying double yolk eggs...

    Duck Ear/Head Problems? Need Help!!

    Today when I went out to let my ducks into their small makeshift pool, I noticed that one of them was tilting his head back and kind of trying to rub the side of his face (ear?) on his shoulder. Has anyone else had this problem? This is the first time I've seen him do it but something seems to...

    Any Idea What Breed This Is?

    Right now I have two crested ducks of unknown origin (I'm pretty sure the white one is a pekin) and one pekin duck. However, I have no idea what breed my other crested could possibly be. Does anyone have any ideas? He's gotten about half his feathers. His down looks black but the...

    Garlic Chives - Why won't they grow?

    I cook a lot of asian dishes when I have time off of school and I've noticed that a lot of them call for Garlic Chives. For whatever reason, we don't have garlic chives out here (I've looked everywhere). So instead I've decided to grow my own. I started out by planting 6 bunches of them, 10...

    Anyone Else Back In School?

    Just finished my first week of the fall semester. Summer went by way too fast. I'd much rather be staying home with my poultry. I pretty much had an anxiety attack about leaving my 4 week old ducklings home alone. (That might be an over-exaggeration but still... Hahaha) Has anyone else...

    New Run Design Questions

    So I'm working on a design for a duck run. We have a small plot of land we've leveled out and I'm planning on making the run 12ft by 36ft. 8 ft high, but with 1 1/2 feet buried under the ground. I'm interested in hearing what people feel are the best building materials to use. I see a lot of...

    Newbie from the Southern California Desert!

    Just thought I'd throw the desert part in there, since I've been lurking around the duck section and there are so many people from wet and humid areas! We get rain for like a week a year and it's such a drag. :( I'm semi new to poultry. My parents and grandparents have both raised all...
