    A couple of Q's about a new Momma hen and chicks

    My hen Daisy went broody again this year and instead of breaking her like I did last year, I let her hatch a couple of babies. I have them in a separate coop with enclosed run but it is still within the fenced in area I have for my chickens. So now they are 5 days old and she has been teaching...

    Looking for guidance

    I have a broody. She is an Austra White that I got through Meyer’s. The info says that they are a nonbroody breed but I guess I got the luck of the draw. She started shortly after she started laying and I think I broke her broodiness 5 times last year. This is her 2nd time this year so far so I...

    Just a curious question

    Busted egg inside hen

    Interesting Fart/Fairy Egg

    As I have read on here multiple times, most Fart Eggs don’t have a yolk. I collected eggs last night and came across this one. This is the tiniest egg that I have ever seen. None of my girls have ever laid an egg close to this small before. I said, “oh, it must be a fart egg. I wonder what the...

    I have questions

    My flock consists of a trio. A male and female Rouen and a female Khaki Campbell. My Khaki Campbell, Annabelle, went broody and we decided to let her have a go at hatching eggs. This is my first time ever doing this. She did good and now we have 5 happy and healthy fluffy ducklings that are 3...

    My New Additions! Pics included

    We have new baby webbies! :ya My Annabelle kept trying to go broody so we ended up relenting and let her try to hatch a clutch of eggs. At first I thought, ok, 4 will be fine. Then more eggs kept getting added. It ended up doubling to 8. 1 egg quit on us and we had to remove it. Hatching started...

    This is normal right?

    I have a trio of ducks. A male Rouen, a female Rouen and a female Khaki Campbell (?). My KC, Annabelle, has gone broody and wants to hatch some babies. After trying to deter her a few times, I finally relented and gave her a couple extra eggs to go with the 2 she was sitting on. I figured 4 was...

    Not sure what to do

    I have a 7-8 month old Buff Orpington. For the past 3 days, we have noticed her limping. Automatically I checked her feet to see if there was maybe bumblefoot going on. Her feet look and feel fine. Soft. No hard spots. So I checked her legs for swelling. Wondering if maybe she landed wrong. I am...

    Protruding or Prolapsed Vent in Baby Chick

    I ordered chicks from Meyer Hatchery. They shipped out last Monday (Mar 11) and I received them Wednesday (Mar 13). All seemed to be strong, healthy and spunky. Well, a few days later I noticed that one of the chicks was pecking at the bum of another one. Then I noticed a bit of poo back...

    Is this normal?

    I have a Khaki Campbell, Annabelle, and her neck looks wonky to me. She is eating, drinking and pooping. She is laying an egg a day. Can ducks get impacted crops like chickens? Here are a couple of quick videos that I just took of her walking around so you can see it. They are on Purina Flock...

    In a bit of a predicament

    I have 3 ducks that are 24 weeks (6 mo.) old. 1 male and 2 female. 2 days ago my neighbor asked if we wanted a duck for free. Supposedly it isn't theirs and they don't know where it came from. He told me it was a mallard, she said it is a khaki campbell. I was told that one of their dogs had a...

    Do all drakes make this noise?

    I have a Rouen drake named Noah. He's 22 weeks old and loves his 2 girls. We want to get maybe 2-3 more females next year but for now he has his little Luna (mallard) and Xena (rouen). It makes me chuckle when after he mates with the girls, he falls off and springs back up and makes this whistle...

    Surprise to me!

    I have 3 ducks. A pair of Rouen, Noah and Xena, and a female Mallard Luna. They were 22 weeks old this past Wednesday. I knew it was close to maturing/laying time (and they've been sexually active for a while now. Don't know if that matters or not.) so I've been checking around their pen and...

    A question about my pullet's poo, pic included

    Is that blood? Could it be possible coccidosis? :sick Could it be something else? Poo is solid and otherwise normal looking. I don't know which pullet it's coming from. My girls are 8 1/2 months old. I've had them since they were a couple days old. Are Black Australorps and Jersey Giants. Were...

She is 13 weeks old. She has LONG yellow legs and feet. Variations of reds and rust colored feathers. She...

    What’s wrong with my duckling?

    My Pekin duckling is 3 - 3 1/2 weeks old and I am just now noticing his/her feet. I feel so bad because I don’t know why I haven’t noticed this before. They are turned inward. And when it walks, you can kind of see that it walks over them. Now splayed/spraddle leg is where the legs and feet are...
