    Is it too early for my Frizzle to be laying?

    I got a batch of chicks from my local Wilco in late March of this year. A frizzle, a Sultan and an Americauna. When I was cleaning their enclosure, I noticed a tiny egg. I know it has to belong to the Frizzle. If my math is right, she can't be more than 4 1/2 months old. Is it odd that she...

    Young duck being bullied; neuro damage?

    So, I have two grown pekin hens, Smokey and Ember, and two young blue Swedish ducks (not sure of the genders yet), Skippy and Jam. Of the two swedish ducks, one is younger and considerably smaller (Skippy). They were raised together until they were big enough to join the Pekins outside. When...
