    Chicken rabies?...or what could it be?

    Hi all, I had a hen attacked last week. We were able to save her from her attacker (not sure what because my dog chased it away) and after inspection it looked like she was dragged by her leg. Missing feathers and a little limp but otherwise fine. I isolated her in a kennel in my house and made...

    First EGG! But who done it?

    I have 10wk old red sex, EE...know it wasnt them. 16wks Favorelle and 18wk EE. Looks like the right color and size for Favorelle but isn't she a bit young? Was expecting first egg from EE, but shouldn't hers be blue or green?

    Chickens and ducks, Best breeds to mix?

    Hello all, Moved to new state and starting over with new flock. I want to do chickens this time but the kids insist we get ducks also. I was thinking mixed flock of 3 chickens and 2 ducks all female. They would all be raised together. We are in a more urban area so noise is concern. I will be...

    Landscaping for ducks?

    Hi all, My school has a courtyard that has been home to ducks for a number of years. Every spring, students are delighted as nests are build and ducklings waddle across the yard. Then the hawks come and the smiles turn to frowns. I've received permission from the principal to do a gardening...

    UPDATE: she's alive! Now what?

    Help, my duck was just recovered after raccoon attack (in daylight). She is breathing hard and there are some puncture wounds. Not sure what internal injuries. I thought her a gonner as she had a limp neck, but she's fighting back!!!! She is lifting her head and is trying to walk but is in...

    PLEASE HELP! What's wrong with my duck?-UPDATE: gone :(

    I have a young KC/runner mix female who doesn't seem to be eating but is drinking a little. She actually looks tired, keeps isolating herself (she actually walked off to the corner while I was feeding the others greens!), and is just plain not acting ducky. She is in my bathtub of warm...

    Duck owners in/near MD.

    Hi all, I have a friend who just had her flock taken out (minus one) by a fox. She's heartbroken but loves her surviving ducky and wants to keep her so she needs some friends for her lonely KC female. Anyone know where to find some young ducks for my friend? Thanks in advance for all your help.

    BLUE Campbell?

    Ok, so I really need to find out what my drake is! He's supposed to be Khaki Campbell but I'm now hearing he looks more like a Buff drake or a BLUE Campbell. I don't think he's a Buff as he was a classic looking KC duckling so I googled and found that blue campbells do exist, though not known...

    Post-Bumblefoot surgery- Duck not looking pretty

    Amazing what one will do for love... I was told either to complete bumblefoot surgery or say goodbye to my duck. I think the surgery went well. Fever went down, she's eating again, but egg production has stopped completely and she looks really ragged. She's a Cayuga duck and her feathers have...

    ID help? KC or not KC

    Well, now my babes are grown up. My daughter is all set to enter them in the local county fair. Very low key, casual show. She doesn't even care to win any awards but wants to share our beauties with everyone as they usually only have pekin and sometimes runners at the show. I don't know...

    Please help. Bumblefoot surgery did I do it right? :PIC:

    My duck has been acting strange, I thought it might be due to changes around home (new ducks to flock, drakes, etc) but my daughter pointed out to me that she has a large swollen part on her foot. I read all about bumblefoot and that's what it looks like to me, but there is no "scab" to come...

    If your ducky needs a home

    In WA, my male:female ratio is off and I'd love to add another girl or two to even it out. To be kept as pet, egg layer bonus. Don't want to spend much so I'd appreciate anyone with a big heart.

    Demand for crested Cayugas?

    I have a lovely Cayuga layer, and I have a young crested Cayuga I am starting to believe might be a drake. I have heard that Cayugas are on the threatened list and I believe crested Cayugas aren't very common. I was wondering if it would be worth it for me to try incubating/ selling fertilized...

    Gotta love duck math... :)

    So when I talked about getting ducks for the first time, hubby sighed heavily and asked how many I wanted...I said JUST TWO! Well, I picked up FOUR. He tells me over and over how little he cares about the ducks. Then three got taken away from us and left us with a lonely ONE, so dear hubby...

    Is this normal??? **pics**

    I understand the ducklings can get pretty funny looking as they change from down to feathers, but this has never happened for me. The duckling started out with a smaller patch of baldness around her eyes but it seems to be growing larger and I don't see any covering growing in beneath it. It's...

    How bad is it for ducklings to eat layer feed or...

    So I have my four ducklings being introduced to the "mama" duck and I'm trying to get them to spend as much time together as possible. The "mama" is eating now (she went on fast when she lost her friends) but very little except when she sees the ducklings eating their food, then she tries to...
