    Slimy black substance inside duck egg

    Mods feel free to move this post. We have some ducks, and the one duck (Cayuga) always has eggs with a large mass of this slimy black waxy substance. What is it? I'm not sure what to make of it and am [somewhat] afraid to eat them. Any ideas as to what it is? Thanks, Joe

    Chicken keeps "coughing", breathing heavy, sleepy?

    Good morning, We have a 9 year old SLW hen. For the past 5 or so days, she's been making this sound that sounds somewhat like a couch or a hiccup. She hasn't been extremely active, and hasn't been pooping very often. When she does, they're very small. She eats and drinks fine, and still...

    The more chickens, the happier the chickens??

    I have an interesting question. A family we know wants to apply for a permit in their municipality that allows them more than 3 chickens. However, they need to give reasons as to why they need more than 3 hens. One of the things they wanted to know, given they have adequate space, is if chickens...

    Hello Nifty and staff, I have a question and a request: 1. Is it possible to have a "buddy list" icon at the top along with Index, User list, Rules etc.?

    Adult hens not laying eggs. Please help!

    Our two adult chickens are not laying eggs. One is a SLW and is 4 years old, and the other is a BR and is 3. We recently had a horrible carnage during the night. Two got killed, and adult and a pullet. The carnage was about one month ago, so the hens probably aren't still traumatized. We feed...

    When did this happen?

    I was happily browsing the forum one day and noticed the collapse thingy on the upper right side of the forum. It is nice to block the BST or other poultry sections or others categories I don't need. So, how many other things slipped by unbeknownst to us?

    Raccoons killed two of our chickens. The one is a little pullet, and her only friend was one of the ones that got killed. We have her in the house, but she is looking and clucking for her friend.

    Penny and Hazel Are dead.

    Two of my favorite chickens are dead, Penny and Hazel. I awoke to the sound of squawking, which usually doesn't concern me, because I've been woken up 3 or 4 times lately, and found nothing, but today I decided to get up. When I came outside, feathers were everywhere. I first thought some kind...

    PM idea

    I was wondering, is it possible to save the sent messages automatically? I always forget to press the "Save message" button before sending. I think it would be helpful just to save them without having to press the button. If you don't want to save it, just have something like "Don't Save...
