    Lost feathers on butt

    My females butt on one side is red and featherless and looks swollen. She seems perfectly fine otherwise. Is this just molting? She’s lost feathers before but not like this.

    OLD COOP NEW CHICKS

    I have 15 new chicks about ready to go out into the coop. I had 9 hens in there. They killed one, I accidentally killed one, a fox got 3, one died randomly and since the last 3 were barely laying and it's tricky introducing new chicks, I gave the existing hens to a friend with a farm where they...

    Fox attack

    So I’m seeing a lot of fox attacks on here and I too have been a victim of such. Yesterday morning I saw a fox in the neighbors back yard but after it had already gotten 3 of my 7 chickens and one of my 4 ducks (one of 2 I just got Monday). It was daylight….around 7:30 am. The chickens and...

    Lone duck

    Something killed one of my two ducks last night. Now the poor lone Blue Swedish is just quacking non-stop as if looking for her sister. I am going to get her another duck friend but can't for about 5 days. Is there anything I can do in the meantime to ease her pain? I have chickens but this...

    Sitting chicken

    I have 8 hens, no rooster. They are 15 months old. One of the hens does nothing but sit on a nest in the henhouse all day. Even with no eggs in it. She seems fine otherwise. She did come out one day but just burrowed into the dirt in the shade and laid there instead. I’m thinking she’s...

    Frostbite?

    I just noticed black spots on my ducks bill. Her sister does not have any. We got our first snow over the past couple days. It’s been in the mid 30’s but there is a wind chill. They have a house and outdoor areas out of the wind and are dry. The will not sleep in their house at night...

    Laying wonky eggs

    I have 2 female blue Swedish and 2 female pekin hybrid ducks. This past week or two, one of the swedes is laboring away and laying a soft shell egg around 5 or 5:30 pm about 4 times now in those past 2 weeks. Is she ok? Why is she doing this? None of the other 3 are doing it. Oh, she’s about...

    Humping?

    So I was just out with my 4 ducks. 2 Pekin, 2 blue Swedish. Supposedly all female. I just watched as one of my blues was mounting the other one and holding her neck with her bill. I bought them just this spring, supposed to be female. New to ducks. Do they do that or is my girl a boy?

    Stopped using their pool

    New to ducks

    I have 2 Blue Swedish and two Pekins about 10 or 11 weeks old. They are so close to fully feathered but not quite yet. The two Pekins have blood on the ends of their wings. Just a little. The Blue’s can be a little picky at them (they’ve all been together since day one). I’m wondering if...
