    Help Needed::: Sick Birds...

    So we've got now 28 birds in our loft. The most recent additions have been there for almost 2 weeks now. Last night one of our hens was acting really lethargic and sat around all puffed up. She let me walk right up to her and pet her before taking off, which is really unusual for these birds. My...

    Welsh Harlequin Ducklings - Holly, MI

    I have 6 welsh harlequin ducklings for sale. They hatched 10-8 and 10-9. I'm pretty sure they'll be silvers. They're all really friendly. They get handled a lot! I'm asking $7.00 each or all 6 for $35.00. They are pickup only, because I don't think I can ship them.

    Sticky babies

    Is it normal for ducklings to be sticky after they hatch? I've had one or two from the last hatch with their feathers stuck down and then this hatch the three that have hatched so far have their feathers stuck down. My humidity is about 65% right now.

    Duck Humidity

    I just was wondering what my humidity should be at for duck eggs. I was running it at 50% and then when my chicks went to lockdown, I boosted the humidity to 60% and just haven't taken the water out yet. I'd think it'd be higher being as they are ducks, but I don't know. Any information would be...

    FS: 2 Crested Pekins Hens and 1 Welsh Harlequin Drake Michigan

    I have 2 crested pekins that are around 2 months old. I'm almost positive both are hens. The one is a little bit smaller than the other but she's coming along. Both are feathering out nicely though. They both have nice crests on them that are decently sized. I'm looking to get around $10/each...

    3 day old EE babies Michigan

    I've got a half dozen easter egger chicks that I need to sell. They're from Miss_jayne, so they come from nice stock. I'm looking for $4/each or $20 for all six. I've never shipped before but I suppose I could try it, although I don't want to garantee anything.

    I've got a welsh harlequin egg that has the aircell on the side of it. I'm on day 3, so it's really just guessing for me at this point as to whether or not it is developing. Is there any hope on it hatching?
