    Interesting find inside of an egg... to me at least

    We found a tiny egg in the duck nest today. It had a lot of deposits on the outside, it was rough. I figured it was no good because I marked all of the older eggs the other day... or maybe not. We cracked it open assuming it wasnt developing since none of my birds are sitting on the eggs at all...

    Duck eggs...

    I have two ducks and they've been laying eggs, yay! My problem is I also have two drakes, one of which is quite a bit younger so I'm not worried about him breeding at the moment. I do have one Rouen male that is mature enough. I have thrown a few eggs out that were cracked and one I know was...

    Not so sure it's a runner...

    I got this little fella from the feed store a month or so ago and the guy said he was probably a runner. I'm thinking not after he's gotten bigger. He doesn't have the carriage the runners do. I've looked at a bunch of runner photos lol. He can also fly. He just went over my 6' fence. We were...

    Eggs everywhere but the nesting box!

    My hens started laying a couple weeks ago. Yay! I've been getting at least one egg a day... or so I thought. Annoyingly they lay in the "poop chute" in their coop and not the nesting boxes... I've put shavings and a plastic egg in there and they just scattered the shavings. I'm going to try hay...

    Pekin drake question

    I will try to get a closer photo in a bit, but I noticed that both of my males seem to have grown a lump on their heads. Maybe it just don't notice it in photos, but I can definitely see it in person. Is that normal? They're only a couple months old, they haven't even hit maturity yet.

    I need Advice about my rooster please

    He hasn't shown any real aggressive behaviors towards me or the kids, but he's been very aggressive towards the pullets, and now my ducks. My daughter had to hose him down this morning trying to get him to leave my drakes and ducks alone. He was attacking the drake and "riding" the females. I'm...

    An unexpected duckling, I need a little advice, please.

    I went to the feed store today to buy more food and I looked at all the babies there like we always do. Well, today when I squatted to look at the ducklings I noticed that one is limping badly, like it's leg doesn't bend quite right. I told them I wanted it because I knew continuing to walk...

    A bit of a puzzle... breed question.

    My ex got a pair of ducks and a few RIR hens... one of the ducks is a Rouen drake, of that I have no doubt. But, the other one... she is colored similar to a Rouen, but she doesn't have the speculum feathers on her wings, they're all the same color. And she's a much lighter color, more of a fawn...

    Is this normal?

    I've had my chickens for a little over a month now, I'm not completely sure how old they are, but I have one that doesn't look quite like the others. She is the only one that doesn't have tail feathers, and she seems to have a bit of a hump on her back. back. [GALLER[/GALLERY] She's the one...

    Duckling waterer ideas...

    I'm up at 2:30 am posting this for some ideas. One of my ducklings managed to get stuck in and flip over the water container. I got a plastic container and put a couple holes in the lid like I had seen suggested. Maybe it's just mine... but I think I need a different set up... any ideas would be...

    Hey y'all!

    Hi everyone, I just want to start out by saying THANK YOU for all of the advice, information, and photos. I'm just starting this journey, and it's been a bit of an undertaking. If not for all the things I've learned on here I'm not sure my babies would have made it this far. I have: 1 Rhode...
