    Duck with bleeding nose

    I went to pick up my drake today, and I noticed he had blood collected around his nostrils. Checked him out and the inside of his nose was bloody too. Also couldn't see through to the other side like normally. Went out and took pictures a little later, and he had already washed the blood off...

    Raccoon attack! Bad wing injury need advice

    Last night I got home later than expected and didn't lock up the birds. When I went out to check/lock them I found one of my birds had been badly injured by what im sure was a raccoon. I found her relatively soon after, so we tried to bring her in and clean her up, she is now staying in the...

    Hen not laying in months

    I have four australop hens, and over the winter three of the four stopped laying. Since spring, two of the three have started up again. However one has not layed since last fall. If anyone has any advice or ideas on why that would be appreciated. I just recently gave a broody hen some of my...

    Angel wing wrap help?

    I've just hatched my first duck on my own, a month ago yesterday. She seems overall healthy except for she looks like she is starting to exhibit angel wing. This was one thing I was worried about because one of my laying ducks has it, and we thought it might be genetic because all three of...

    Bumble foot?

    Does this look like bumble foot? I haven't had to treat it before and I can't tell. It looks kind of swollen but I don't see a cut.

    Duck started laying unexpected color

    I got my first duck egg today, from what I suspect to be a crested pekin but it was a greenish olive color. I was wondering if maybe she is not pure pekin, or if anyone else has gotten greenish pekin eggs because I thought they were white.

    Duck laying time

    My three ducks were born in July, so they've passed the six month mark. At this point every time I go outside my two girls duck their heads at my drake and now he has started making this deep raspy growl noise when I first go to reach for one of the girls. I assume he is just being protective...

    Live harvesting down

    I was wondering if anyone has tried harvesting duck down during the spring molt? I've tried reading up on it but I found very few and old articles about it, and most only mentioned ducks and mainly pertained to geese. How much comes from one duck, and also I did see something that you can do...

    Duck bowing

    I have two ducks and a drake and lately have noticed that when I pick up my drake, whenever he runs back to the girls, one of them bows her head to him and he'll sort of walk around them. If anyone knows what's going on let me know. I've heard of head bobbing but never head bowing and I've...

    Bullying in the flock

    Today I've noticed one of hens has a pretty significant bald spot on the back and a little bit on the front of her neck. My first thought is the other hens are bullying her. She has been through this before, she has been my only hen to go broody and all the other girls would get mad at her...

    Chickens not eating oyster shells

    I own three ducks and four chickens and recently discovered one of my ducks is a male. Originally my plan was to integrate everyone to share layer feed, but now I don't want to feed my male duck excess calcium. So I bought normal flock grower food and I bought oyster shell to supplement the...
