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
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...
I found one of my 2 year old chickens (EE) lying on the ground tonight when going to put them away.. she is very lethargic, poor head tracking and can't stand.. We gave her water (with a Syringe) and she swallowed 2 of the 3 times. Her body temperature is cold, she'll open her eyes and move her...
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 All,

Does anybody know that this might be, or have any of you received this message?
We have windows vista, and use firefox.

Hello everybody,
Earlier today our neighbor called us and said that his neighbor found a chicken in her yard and he asked us if it was ours.
We took it off her hands and put it with our chickens. Hopefully somebody sees the "found chicken" signs around.
Here she is:
We were wondering what kind...
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.?
I get kinda tired of having to click profile and then getting it. I think it would be a little easier to have it right there.
and
2. What is...
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...
I love everybody on BYC!
On other forums, I noticed that you can block other members.
Do we have this feature? I don't think I would EVER use this.
I was just curious.
Thanks in advance, Joe
We received a package! What could it be?
What's this?
Why it's Adelaide and Peepers!
Playing with Mozart, our Cockatiel!

A place to sleep:
Not to many adventures today, but after a good night sleep, hopefully they will have lots of adventures.

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. When she's outside, she runs around looking, and when she's inside, she's running around looking for...
Hello All,
I'm conducting a survey to see whether people like the new people like it or not.(I'm sure Pepsi already did this.)
Answer Yes, if you like it,
No if you don't, Or Don't care, if you, well, don't care. And I like both if you like both.

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...
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

Hello Nifty and staff, I would like to know what happened to chickchair?
She hasn't posted in a long time. Is she okay? Please let me know.
I heard she has still been posting on ezboard I mean yuku. If so, then why not here?
I really miss her posts.
Thanks,
Joe
I'm so excited! We're gonna get chicks today!
Every spring, Our local farm and home store has chick days. As usual, our "chick buying spree" is spur of the moment. We were planning on getting chicks this spring, but weren't sure when.
We are going to get an Easter Egger and black sex link...
What the heck is wrong with this egg? Why is it so...
small?
She's not a banty, but she only laid two eggs this whole winter.
Is it because she hasn't laid in such a long time?
Please tell Me.
Thanks,

I never thought I'd ask this. We are thinking about getting ducks.
What all do we need to raise ducks? Are they just like chickens?
Will the get along with chickens? How would you mix ducks and chickens together? What do you do with them in the winter? What do you feed them?
Can you eat duck...
