    Due date?

    My welsh harlequin has been laying a clutch for almost 3 weeks. I'm not sure how many eggs are in the nest (quite a few chicken eggs have gone in too. Ugh!). 2 nights ago she started to sit at night rather than go in the duck house. She decided our brush pile was the best place for her best. So...

    10 week old Rooster died-was fluffy, listless, and had yellow diarrhea yesterday-What about everyone

    We have 5 pullets the same age that were kept in the same coop. Our year old layers are in another coop, there are 7 of them. The 10 week old chicks are on medicated crumbles. The older girls are on a layer pellet. However all of the chickens have access to both. The little ones could get into...

    Mixing chicks

    We're expecting 5 chicks from a hatchery in 10 days. We're giving 2 to our neighbor after she lost 2 in a coop fire about a month or so ago. We'd really like to add about 5 or 6 more chicks to our flock rather than just 3. Our local feed store has started to stock chicks. Would hatchery chicks...

    Ducks maliciously attacking chickens

    Our three 9 month old drakes, 2 pekins and 1 mallard, used to concentrate all their mounting efforts on one hen. We gave that hen to a neighbor to keep her from being constantly harassed. Now they've turned on our other 8 hens. They don't care which one it is and they ALL try to mount their...

    Drakes being aggressive toward chicken

    I have 2 pekin drakes and 1 mallard drake. The mallard is about 6 months and the Pekins 5 months. One pekin started to "attack" just one of my 9 chickens. Now the other 2 have started. It's always the same hen and they are constantly trying to grab her and mount her!! We try chasing them away...

    Mallard acting drunk earlier,seems a tad better

    He is 5 months old, eats flock raiser, gets cracked corn as a treat as well as assorted fruits and veggies-whatever we're eating that day. He acted FINE all day. I was inside for about 45 min, went back out and he was laying and his head was wobbling like he was drunk. It lasted for about 3...

    What is going on with Pekins feet?!

    Saturday evening our Pekin, Lemon, was limping. The next morning she couldn't take more than a few steps at a time and would then lay down. By Sunday evening she wouldn't walk at all unless we moved her into the shade and she'd readjust a bit but used mostly her wings for support.:( she has...

    Mallard adopted 2 Pekins, will she leave in the fall?

    Three weeks ago we got 2 mallard ducklings that were 4 weeks old. Two weeks ago we got 1 day old Pekin ducklings. We tried putting all the ducks together but had to separate the ducks since the mallards were being very aggresive toward the Pekins. So we put the Pekins with our 8 chicks and...

    Falcons and raccoons

    We're new to having chicks and ducks, we did some research and jumped right in! We have 8 chicks, 2 mallards, and then added 2 Pekin ducklings. We'd like to free range them but now I'm not sure. Our lab/shepherd has killed 4 raccoons since we moved in 9 months ago. We see falcons and osprey...
