    Ducks not laying

    So my ducks haven't laid in forever. I used to get 2 eggs a day consistently until earlier this year where one of my pekins broke her foot and then it was just one egg. I've seen my cayuga go in the coop and lay but she has stopped now too. I don't get it. It's been over 5 months and I've barely...

    Bumble foot?

    Ok I can't figure out what she did to herself. She is limping. I soaked it (will get epsom salts soon) in warm water. I can't see any kind of wound at all. Could it be something else?

    Cookie tin heater and rubber bowl?

    Will a cookie tin heater work with a rubber bowl? I have ducks and chickens so I need something the ducks can dunk their head in. If not, I will buy a metal bowl. Also do they need a pool or will a bucket do for the winter?

    Preventing impacted crop?

    I lost my fav hen last night to impacted crop. Everyone else seems fine. I opened her up and it was a big wad but the pieces didn't seem excessively long. Now, i am paranoid about giving them stuff from my yard like I have been. Did i give too much? pieces too big? Pieces too small? I have been...

    They are still scared :(

    We have had our ducks for 2 weeks. We handle them and talk to them but they are super scared. They run when we refill their water but if we walk in the garage where they are, they huddle in a corner. Will it just take time? After standing there a minute, they start looking at us. I don't want...

    Our first ducks! Questions :)

    We got 4 ducklings today. We have them set up in the brooder. I have a question about food. I got manapro, it is the only thing the store had. It has 24% protein and not enough niacin. I will get some brewer's yeast and mix it tonight. What food do you guys buy? And from where? Also what do...

    Broken beak

    Well we have had a bad week! We have had neighbor dogs trying to dig and get to our chickens. Is this from that or something else and what do we do now?

    Is she being picked on?

    Is she being picked on? She is the one that has a bare butt. I haven't ever seen them pick on her or peck at her :(

    white layer ducks

    I'm looking for a couple of white layer ducks for eggs. I would prefer someone around the Tulsa area. Willing to drive an hour or so. I want to pick them up end of March, beginning of April. Might consider other good egg laying ducks.

    Bare butt chicken

    So one of my orpingtons has a bald spot around her butt. She's had it a while. I feel like it got better but now it's not getting any better. I don't see her actively plucking but I'm not out there all day watching. I don't see anything when I pick her up and look. Any ideas on what could be...

    Aggressive rooster

    So we had 2 roosters. One would put his wing down and charge at me. He left my husband alone and never did anything to me. We made him dinner. I had another rooster who was the submissive one and now, less than a week later, he is starting. Chasing the hens away, wing down, eye balling me. Last...

    2 roosters - Tulsa, OK

    I have 2 4month old roosters to give away. The white one is a good rooster, watches over the hens, last one to go in the coop after they are all in and settled. He hates me, doesn't mind my husband though. We are also 2 over what we should have. Please pm me if interested. I would like them...

    how do you know if a rooster is being too rough?

    I bought some chickens at the end of feb. 2 of them turned out to be roosters. We had them in 2 brooders. 4 and 4. The roosters wound up with 2 hens and then the others were all hens. When we put them outside, they still stayed in their groups for the most part. They are better with that now and...

    How to teach the chickens to go in the coop at night?

    Ok so i have 8 chickens. 6 hens and 2 roos. We had them in brooders as 4 and 4. They basically stay in their little groups in the run. We put them in their run/coop a week ago. The 4 smaller ones (all hens) go in the coop and tuck themselves in. The 4 bigger ones, 2 roosters and the 2 biggest...

    feeding hens and roos same food?

    Our chicks are about to go on grower feed. I am trying to think ahead and think of what I need to buy when they lay. I read that layer feed can be bad for the roosters. What do you guys do? Do you do the all flock feed and supplement for the hens?
