    What gender are my Pekin ducklings?

    Here's my scenario I have a White Crested Pekin female duck, and a plain ol' White Pekin male. About 2 months ago I took 5 of their eggs and hatched them under my little banty black tailed Jap hen. 2 of the ducklings have a crest like the mom, and 3 do not. But! 3 of the ducklings (2 have...

    Another Buff Orp, swollen bottom, eggbound hen #2??

    So, this morning I went out and found my 3yr old Buff Orp hen sitting on the ground, head straight ahead, acting paralyzed almost, except for the fact she is shaking/shivering, and barely blinking. There aren't any wounds or scrapes, nothing at all seems wrong except she just won't move, and she...

I'm unsure whether these 2 are boys or girls. Their tails seem to be a bit flat, and they have really really loud and demanding quacks. I think...

    2 of my chickens have ballon sized bellies! *PIC HEAVY*

    A few days ago I found that 2 of my birds,(A golden Wyandotte, age 1yr, and a Barred Rock, aged 5yrs) had a quite enlarged abdomen/bottom/under the vent area. Its squishy, and feels like a balloon, and its so big, they have to waddle to get around. They also seem to have trouble going to the...

    Egg bound? Or something else?

    I was wondering, does anyone have an example of what an egg bound hen looks like, and how to treat it? I noticed this morning one of my hens (Golden Wyandotte, just turned 1yr) was waddling/limping a bit. So I picked her up to examine her, and under her vent she has quite a few feathers missing...

    Dust Mites in the chicken coop...

    I've been putting up a few new roosts, and I was looking closely at the older roosts and nests, (they're made out of wood) and I can see these itty bitty white bugs crawling around. My (1-6yrs old) hens also have quite scaly legs, (which I think are caused by the mites, but I don't know for...
