    Vegetable Peels as Bedding in Duck Run/Enclosure

    Hey! We're currently having an issue with an overly-muddy meant-to-be-temporary duck enclosure; this contributes to poor hygiene, quite an odor, and dirty, unhealthy-looking ducks. Currently, there are no dead leaves and the like around to dump in there, and, while I know that the officially...

    Yellow Film on Wattles of Healthy Rooster

    Hello, everybody! One of my roosters has some yellow growing on his wattles, from the bottom up. It doesn't appear to be the wattles themselves turning yellow, rather some sort of film growing on top of them (not peelable upon quick inspection). He is otherwise quite healthy and spritely. Is...

    Hello, we just received 10 chickens from @Jmiller89 and they do not seem to have handled the move very well, in regard to egglaying, with a current grand total of 1 egg, so far, in 2 weeks. How long should it take them to get over the move? I know that chickens generally lay less in the...

    Article Description Under Title

    Hello! I was thinking to maybe have, under the article of the title, instead of an excerpt, a synopsis/ description of the article. This would probably save a lot of time and not require having to read through the first two pages of the article, only to see that it has nothing to do with what...

    Retroactive Integration?

    Hello! I recently traded out two of the five flock members for two new ones (females) who are quite a bit smaller than the remaining three (also females).

    Rooster Admitting Defeat?

    Is it normal that upon being caught, realizing the game is over, and obediently sitting down a rooster will cause the feathers on the back of his neck to stick out? What does he mean by that- is it a sign of surrender?

    Hey everyone! This chicken in the attached photos (or possibly its identical twin; they're quite difficult to tell apart) was getting distressed one night that the cockerel of the flock was missing; while normally, in such situations, it would make a low whimpering sound, this time it decided to...

    18-Week-Old Chicken With Invisible Wattles: Breed? Gender?

    Hey everybody, attached are photos of Moe, an 18-week-old chicken. Is it normal for its wattles to be barely visible? Does that just mean it's a late-blooming hen? And can anybody identify the breed (I think it's a cross-breed; I wanted to know the breeds of its parents). Thank you!

    Hey all! In a shipment of ducklings I just received, I noticed one duckling being quite lethargic, hardly moving, and constantly dozing off.
