    Chicken, Duck, SAY WHAT???

    Found a really giant egg in the nest box this afternoon. The egg in the middle is second year Khaki Campbell and we don't have geese. The egg has a really thick shell.

    Saxony Ducklings From Holderread Farm

    Our Saxony ducklings are 2 weeks old and growing fast. For the time being we have outsmarted their messiness by putting shavings then a tile then an inverted pot saucer then a bucket top before placing a feeder or waterer proudly atop the stack. So messy and so worth all the effort. Ducklings...

    Are all Mallards toe clipped or banded at the hatcheries?

    Hello all, We have 12 ducklings that we purchased from Tractor Supply and the folks there have no idea if they are selling Rouens or Mallards. Maybe somebody here knows if all mallard chicks are marked in some way at the hatchery to comply with federal wildlife laws. I know the hatcheries...

    Going quakers!

    Hello to everyone. We are proud parents of 3 khaki campbell females and one male that we rescued from a feed store that had kept them way too long in a brooder meant for chicks. One female was so stooped over that she never fully recovered but still lays an occasional egg and she will have...
