    10 Wk Old w/Bruised Leg and Limping

    My baby girl, Mae C (pronounced Macy), has a bruised leg and is limping. It started last Friday when I saw her limping when they were outside. Upon inspection, I noticed bruising on her leg (she is a Silver Gray Dorking so her legs are light color and the bruise is dark). No swelling, good...

    TWO mommas hatching eggs at the same time - space question

    I have two hens that will be hatching out eggs this weekend - Sophia on Saturday (8) and Rebekah on Sunday (12). Of course, I have no idea of what the hatch rate will actually be. We'll see. My question is can I put them both in the same space in the coop to start with? Right now they are in...

    Lone Duck Needs a Friend

    We lost one of our two ducks about a month ago so we just have one duck now. She is doing ok at the moment but I've been looking daily for a duck friend for her (she's got us and the chickens but I still want her to have her own duck friend). I am having no luck in finding a female of a similiar...

    Duck Quarantine Question

    I am looking for a new buddy for my three year old Cayuga, Gabrielle. I was just on the chicken section (we have chickens too) and was reading about quarantining new chickens for a month before integrating them to the flock. Do I need to do this with a new-to-us duck??

    I am looking for a wonderful, loving home for our remaining beloved pet duck Gabrielle. Our other female duck, Kiera, went missing last night without a trace and no sign of her this morning. :( Because we know Gabrielle can't be alone, we are looking to rehome her as soon as possible. I think...

    Broody Hen Switch-a-roo Question

    Can one broody hen start sitting on a batch of eggs then a different hen kick her out and take over?? I have read that one hen may help out the broody hen by sitting on the eggs while the expectant momma goes to eat and do her business but this is different. Rebekah recently hatched her baby...

    FINALLY! I got my first egg of the season :)

    I've been waiting and waiting and waiting! And this morning when I checked, lo and behold, AN EGG! Yay! I am very excited to be getting them again. So now Gabrielle is laying and I'm sure Kiera will be shortly too. Last year when they started laying, they did it a day apart. And the coloring of...

    When will ducks lay again??

    My 2 Cayuga ducks stopped laying this winter and haven't started back up yet. I keep thinking it's going to be any day now but it's not. So my question is when will they start laying again? They will be a year old next month.

    I think it's time for my roo to go

    I'm debating about keeping my rooster, Wyatt. He's now gashed a second hen and we are so not happy. We orginally got him to have little ones that will be for freezer camp (be self-sustaining, have the hens raise them and all that). Now I'm having second thoughts about him. They (7 hens and 1...

    Hot Potato vs. Dremel Tool

    We need to de-spur our NH Red rooster, Wyatt. He's almost a year old though his spurs aren't full grown, just hard nubs right now. He SEVERLY gashed open one of my hens and so it's time to remove his spurs. Of these two methods, what it the most preferred? Thanks!

    Hen hat anyone?

    I'd like to get a little hat for Bubbles, our Salmon Faverolles. She's our favorite hen and apparantly the favorite of Wyatt the rooster too. He's taken off all the feathers on her back and I had to make her a jacket. Now she's got a giant bald spot on the back of her head from him too. grrrrr...

    Do Cayugas lay eggs every day?

    My girls have started laying this week and I've been getting two eggs a day. I know with chickens they lay almost every day but not quite. Do ducks lay an egg every day (as long as there's proper daylight requirements)?

    My First Egg!

    Yay! We got our first egg from one of our Cayugas yesterday. Labor Day - how fitting. BUT she laid it in her bath pool! BLECH! Our two Cayugas were born at the beginning of April so I thought that any time after Labor Day they'd start laying. When I went to check in their house yesterday...
