    Duck Breed

    I picked up four ducklings this spring from the local feed store. Two ended up being Khaki Campbell males, one is a Cayuga male and then this grey-silvery female. I have no idea what her breed is. I thought when she was a duckling that she was a Welsh Harlequin, but now I'm not so sure. The duck...

    Very sick Silkie Roo

    I've had to quarantine a white silkie rooster that I recently purchased. His glands along his beak are swollen to the point that his eyes could barely open, he has raspy breathing and thick yellow mucus was dripping out of his nostrils and bubbles in his eyes. I did start him on antibiotics in...

    Broody White Leghorn??

    Okay wise chicken people who have much more experience than I do....I have a bit of a conundrum on my hands. I have ten hens and they all want to use the same nest box for laying (even though I supplied them with nice expensive extra nesting boxes full of nice fluffy dried grass). So, I went and...

    What Breed? Am unsure

    Hello folks. While I'm very sure that my little guy is a rooster (I thought he was a very pretty hen until the fateful day that he crowed), I'm not exactly sure what breed his is. I got him from the local co-op, who swore that he and the other two I got with him were black sex links. (They are...

    Hello from NE Arkansas

    Just wanted to introduce myself! My name is Miriah and I have to say that I've learned a great deal about my flock just from lurking on the forums for a month or so. Thanks to all of you for your information! My flock is a pretty good size. I have 5 white leghorn hens, 4 cinnamon queen hens, two...
