    Where is the extra egg coming from?!?

    Hello everybody! I have a strange question for all of you. I currently have 7 ducks, two of which I have known as drakes for the last year. This is not only because of their rasp but I have literally seen their penises. For the last 2 days when I collect eggs I am finding 6 eggs. Yesterday I...

    What do you do with your cockerals?

    I am planning on hatching out some more chicks this spring because I want some olive egger hens. I have no problems with culling cockerals, it just seems like such a waste. I already have 2 roosters, so keeping them isn't an option. Freezer camp is, but since they are Easter Egger x Golden...

    Bunny Problems

    I own a very cute Lions head bunny named Nala. Nala was born in Jan of this year. She is crazy agressive. Lunging, boxing, biting, growling, thumping. She hates me.

    Black Australorp Feather Loss?

    I have a lovely australorp who was recently tagged as a fan favorite of our spring roosters. This lead to them pulling all the feathers off the back of her head yesterday. This is easy enough to fix, I covered her head in blue hen healer and the boys are leaving her alone for now. My concern is...

    Iowa Flood/Mud Help

    I live in SW Iowa, and it is unreal how wet it is. We have been lucky to avoid major flooding issues with out home, but my poor birds are not fairing as well.

    Anyone know if this is fertile?

    I noticed the other day that the white dot had changed in my eggs. I have 3 year old hens that currently lay. They are in a run with my new spring chickens, three of whom are roosters. Now, only 1 of these roosters is crowing/acting like a rooster. He is only 12 weeks old, but he has been...

    I got this little girls at Orschlens from a hatchery assortment. Anyone know if she is magpie, ancona, or muscovy? Her body is slightly longer than a rouen of the same age, and her beak looks suspiciously muscovy. I also know that it is rare to get a muscovy from a hatchery mix. Her name is Maggie.

    Experiment Gone Wrong

    I have a cornish cross named Cream that my daughter had to have. Because she is such a gentle giant I though we could let her live with my egg layers and see if she lays. We are just past the 6 month mark mow, and my RIR is trearing her up. Cream is not laying and has not shown any signs, but...
