    Very weird egg

    I could not find a good forum for this, so here goes. A friend asked me what was up with this egg. This is a grocery store egg, so chick isn't an option. Any ideas?

    Breed?

    Any ideas on this assorted duckling? Feed store had no idea and just said assorted. All gray with a dark bill and feet. Stands and walks like a typical ducknow, though in this picture she seems tall because she or he was trying to jump. I am hoping the other two are a rouen and a Peking, but...

    Weak duck with no obvious problem

    She lost her friend last week to something and now she's quiet and weak. There are no symptoms or injuries. She looks totally healthy, but is way too calm and quiet. Any ideas? She's about 3 months old and a peking. No bites, no lice, no mites, clean habitat, sort of indoors (covered...

    listless polish bantam

    One of my 2 Polish Bantams is acting funny. She's unusually snuggly and still, almost droopy. I did find mites, so I dusted her with DE. I offered her chick crumbles and scrambled egg, but she wouldn't touch either. Her crop is empty. No runny nose or discharge that I can find. The only...

    possible hurricane (or any severe weather)

    My chickens don't have a salable coop. They have a wooden fenced-in and covered area. Weather is predicting our first storm of the season and the first since I got chickens. Ideas on how to keep them safe?

    Feather Foot Bantam questions

    This little one seems to be having trouble. I have brought "her" into the house for observation. She can perch on my finger, but seems to have difficulty walking, maybe due to how big her foot feathers are. She's amazingly content to sit in my lap and doesn't struggle at all to get away so...

    Sick chick- won't eat or drink on her own

    My little one is about 6 weeks old. Her brooder mates are all healthy. Hatchmates are running about 260 grams while she is at 117 grams. She is very weak, but no other real symptoms. When I first found her, she couldn't hold her head up, and rested back on her rump unable to stand on her...

    Cold Temperatures

    I've read the preparing for winter thread, but notice most people have coops. My girls free range. I have RIR's, whites, and EE's. In anticipation of this big cold front, we built a covered area and put their food and water in it to entice them in. They hate it. Now, the weather channel has...

    My first chickens

    We bought 12 chicks from Tractor Supply April 15, so they are about 13 weeks old. We lost 2 in the first 48 hours so we now have 3 whites, 3 Reds and 4 Americaunas. All were supposed to be hens, but not necessarily a certain breed. One of the reds is getting a bigger wattle and comb, seems to...
