    My drake has a problem

    On Thursday I came home and found my runner drake with his man part hanging out. I observed him for a while and it was clear that it had been out and wasn't going back in. When I locked them up for the night I brought him in, let him enjoy a warm bath and locked him in the dog kennel indoors for...

    Poor Quality Runners of Khaki Campbells

    I need to sell these girls but I don't know what to label them as. I purchased them as Chocolate runners but they don't stand up strait. They waddle and my male Runner catches them way to easy. I'm not familiar with Khaki's so I am afraid to label them as such and be a bad person when someone...

    Raccoon killed my Drake, Hen is lonely

    What's the procedure for integrating new ducks? I had two fawn and white runners, a drake and a hen. My poor hen doesn't know what to do. She has the chickens but they aren't her man. If I'm going to get her a friend what should I get? Should I look for more hens or is another drake a good...

    Hen with swollen side of face. Help/Advice appreciated.

    Hi, I noticed this afternoon that one side of my year-old-broody-for-the-second-time buff orpington's face was swollen. I scooped her up to examine, expecting something to be in her eye. I didn't see anything but excessive clear liquid in the corner of her eye and some in her nose. I decided I'd...

    2 Leghorn pullets (12wks old)

    I have two 12 week old broody raised leghorn pullets available ($10 each). They are a bit skittish since they were raised by a protective hen but very sweet when captured and held. They have a beautiful brother who is a bit more skittish and, I'm afraid, will be dinner in a few more weeks unless...

    Freaked out and embarrassed

    At about 11:20 tonight I realized I hadn't locked up the ducks yet so I went to it. I swear I woke up the neighborhood. Before I even reached the ducks in their kennel I heard a noise. A few more steps and the ducks were freaking out in the box. Instantly I shout "O Cr*P, NO!!!" thinking some...

    New to ducks. Is this the beginning of Angel wing?

    I'm new to ducks and not sure what I'm doing exactly. My chickens have been so easy I figured I would give ducks a try. They are fun but not what I expected. One of the two ducks has wing feathers that don't seem right. The appear to stick straight up. I rarely see these feathers on the other...

    Broody left her chicks for the big coop...seeking advice

    Heres my situation. My BO went broody at the end of March. I gave her 5 leghorn eggs, she hatched 3. At about a week old I allowed them outside with her for the day and would bring them all back inside for the night. A week of that and I began allowing them to stay out for the night. They have...

    3 week old leghorns

    My broody hatched 3 leghorns on April 19th (3 weeks ago). There is 1 rooster and 2 pullets. The eggs were donated by my neighbor who has the parent rooster and hens if the buyer is interested in seeing them. These chicks have been foraging with mom since they were a week old and rely on what...

    Is it lacing correctly?

    I ordered two BLRW from a local hatchery one turned out to be and EE and now I am worried the other isn't lacing correctly. Is this what it's supposed to look like at 2 weeks? Thanks

    Rhode Island Reds or New Hampshire Reds?

    I was hoping for Rhode Island Reds however I am beginning to doubt that they are. They just don't seem dark enough. I love them whatever they are I'm just curious. Red Charlie
