I'm looking for dark brahma roo and hens. I'll take hens if anyone has them. My one hen died suddenly last week and I would love to have more. Can't find any at local chick sellers. I live in NorthEast Indiana 30 minutes north of Fort Wayne. Will drive to pick up. Will offer 5.00 per laying hen...

I have a friend whose hen just died. She said her hen was breathing with her mouth open, head up and arched back. Could this be a worm? I can't remember but i had a hen die last year with this. Also there is wheezing when she is breathing.
Does anyone know what this worm thing is called? Is it...

Has anyone had any success with an amercauna rooster being nice? Not being over agressive? I have a four month old americauna cock who is starting to crow and mature and I want to know what type of temperment this breed is supposed to be. Should I be worried?
I have a barred rock brooder hen sitting now for two weeks. I placed her in a encloser with a nesting box, water, and food. She started with nine eggs and now only 4 are under her. I opened the area to let her get completely out when she wants. I don't think she figured out she had her own water...
I have a barred rock sitting on the nest now for two days. She is very aggressive when attempting to get her eggs. I'm thinking she turned broody, so we are going to see how this goes. My question is should I move her at night to a seperate area that is away from other chickens?

I bought these and were told they were amercauna. I don't think so. I think they might be a game hen, but don't know. They seem to be the same size as my barred rock of the same age so I don't think it's a bantm. Any ideas? computer this morning.
This is my new duck enclosure. The pool is a garden pond with a field tile under it. I put a kitchen sink drain in the bottom of the pool so when it's cleaning time I just pull the plug and wait. 30 minutes to drain, clean, fill. Not bad. Do it every other day. The ducks love it.
The duck hut...
I have nine pekin ducks, two mallards. I was feeding them 7 lbs per day. I talked with a lady at the local TSC and she said it was too much, so now I feed them about 4. Their poo has turned to grass green. I'm guessing this is better and it means that they are forraging?
So how much is one...
We set up a area for our 6 Pekin ducks, and 2 mallards. We have a inground pool set up so that the ground is sloaped so when I pull the plug at the bottom it drains into the pee gravel and out the tile in the ground. (I have a husband who does field tile for farmers.) The set up is this...

Thanks to those who earlier got me pointed in the right direction on finding out what breed my new chicken is. She is a dark brahma. Beautiful!!! She is getting picked on in these first couple of days. I'm going to try and find her a friend and put her in with my ducks.
But here are some picks...
