    All of my ducks stopped laying?

    All 3 of my ducks have completely stopped laying, all at the same time, on the same day. One of them was laying rubber eggs off and on for a few weeks (3 rubber eggs over a 2 or 3 week period) but the others were laying as normal. I went out to collect their eggs 5 days ago and there weren't...

    Hello again

    I'm not entirely sure that I introduced myself when I first signed up 3 yrs ago so I'll do it now since I haven't been here in quite some time. (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? No, I am not new to chickens, I got my first ones 4 yrs ago. At that time I had 3...

    D'Uccle's?

    I grabbed these adorables out of a straight run bantam bin, I just liked their color as fuzzy butts and I've never had a breed with feathered legs before so I went for it. At first I thought the brown one was a partridge cochin and the gray was a splash blue cochin but they both have developed...

    All 5 of my hens bite me

    I have 5 hens, 2 RIR and 3 PBR, the PBR's are the worst about biting me, I have no idea why they do this, it's not investigative, it's meanness. They have always done this dispite my attempts to break the habit. I was told to peck them back and that should stop the issue, well it didn't so I...

    Not sure on this chick...

    I'm sorry these pictures are so awful, my phone camera stinks but I'll describe her to you. First, she looks like a barred plymouth rock except that she is gray, I don't mean she looks gray, I mean she is gray with white bars. (I've had a ton of people tell me she just looks gray because of the...
