    Tips for hatching peacocks

    Hello, this will be my first attempt at incubating eggs. I have a hovabator 1583 and plan on buying a hygrometer to use with it. I am getting three peacock eggs and am told 99* and 55% humidity. Any tips are greatly appreciated :)

    Ornamental Layers

    Any guess as to what this pullet may be. I ordered from Murray McMurray, their Ornamental Layer assortment. I can’t seem to figure out what it may be though. I did receive assorted polish, Golden Campine, silver dorking, fayoumi, buff & black Cochin, and possible a houdan.

    DHA enriched Eggs- How to?

    Not really sure where to post this, but how would I enrich my eggs with DHA? My daughter will be turning 6 months old soon and we need to incorporate omega-3 fatty acids into her diet. Store bought eggs can be enriched with the dha, but I'd like to use my own flock's eggs. Yes I know I can just...

    past broody hen would she go broody for chicks?

    Question, I have a hen that loves to sit on eggs, she is currently not broody, but if I were to separate her from the flock and put some chicks under her do you think she would accept them? She has never hatched any eggs, and is a year old. I took advantage of the Memorial Day sale Murray...

    Ripped toe nail?

    I have a hen who I think broke or tore her toe nail, to make matters worse it is currently -7f with -30f windchills, so it it’s cold and the blood is freezing on the roost. I put some petroleum jelly on the toe, is there anything else I can do? She’s also being over mated with, so she is run...

    Rooster killed hen?!?

    I want some opinions on this, I believe one of my roosters, a young Jersey Giant/RIR cross killed one of my hens. This morning when I went to do chores I found her in the coop, neck and head all bloody and she was stiff, so I think it happened last night before I turned their light off. Everyone...

    Odd wings on hen

    My 5 month old hen’s wings look odd, when looking straight on from behind they stick out and it’s almost like she’s missing some feathers that should be above the main wing feathers. She seems to be lowest in the pecking order and we have a drake that harasses her. Is this a deformity?

    Help! Drake suddenly singleing out hen

    We keep 3 hens, 1 rooster, 3 female ducks and a drake together. They free range during the day and the last two days the drake has been singleing out one of our chickens. He chases he away from everyone, and tonight attacked her when she was trying to come in the coop. I’ve never had ducks...

    In your opinion what did this

    Last Wednesday I came home at 7:30 to find one duck and one hen missing. Searched high and low and could only find two piles of my hens feathers at the edge of our property where we stop mowing. On Monday I came home to a pile of red feathers from another hen not more than 10ft from my front...

    Need Advice. Lost my female last night, now my drake is sad

    We had our first predator attack yesterday evening, just before dusk. I came home to shell shocked chickens and my two ducks missing. Well after a lengthy search I found my drake alone in the brook. He wasn't making a peep, and my female was nowhere in sight. I am heartbroken and I feel like he...

    Lost my only female duck

    Came home an hour after my husband had left (everything was fine then) and my flock was up by the road which they never do and one hen was missing. Then my two ducks were nowhere to be seen and they are always with the chickens. So I start walking our property and then check our brook. I found...

    What Breed?

    Hello all! I’m new to ducks and in May brought home two 8wk old ducklings. The farm we got them from had Anaconas, Rouen, Campbells and Muskvoy ducks for sale, I asked for some females and he brought me what he had left. He wasn’t sure what they were though, kinda a strange situation. So flash...
