    Traumatic duck death/ other ducklings lethargic.

    We had 6 ducklings, about 4-5 weeks old. We move them out to a pen during the day and into the brooder during the night. Yesterday my husband moved the ducks and the smallest one (our only Drake) got trampled somehow. He was dead by the time my husband got to the duck pen. Literally a 5 second...

    Is it because a little blood got on it and stained it or just skin coloring..?

    Little duckling with eye issues?

    Hello everyone! I have a little drake who is just...not well. I'm not sure what exactly is wrong but something just looks off about his face. He is also a bit of a runt, but he poops eats and drinks all normal. We got them shipped to us yesterday morning.

    Guinea housing in the top of our barn?

    Let me preface this by saying I do not own Guinea's, but am looking to in the future and I am trying to figure out how to incorporate them into our homestead. My question is, can they be housed in the top floor of our Barn, with the hay door open at day and closed at night? They'd be able to fly...

    Leghorns?

    Alright, so I had gotten some mail order chicks, (gosh it feels weird to say that) and we had gotten about 6 packing peanuts. (Extra chicks that we did not order, usually make and they were.) We don't have enough hens for 12 roosters 6 of which are "leghorns", so we put them in a separate pen...

    Black australorp or mystery chicken?

    I have 3 supposed black australorps. But I realized one of them has a black comb and beak. Not just a little on the tip of the beak. Is this an Australorp? For background I ordered a bunch of chicks from murray mcmurray and actually lost a black one in the beginning after shipping. Is this my...

    I'm very confused.

    I made an order from Murray Mcmurray and 2 weeks ago got my chicks. I have been asking here and there about specific individuals. I just found out they never gave me my white Brahmas, but I have 3 of these. Any clue?

    Respiratory illness in chick

    I have a chick with labored breathing since yesterday. She seems to be getting hot and then cold. She barely opens her eyes and perks up a tiny bit after some honey and egg yolk and then acts tired again. She is a week old. She is the only one I'll, and while not gasping for air I do hear...

    Blue Cochin, not walking well?

    My blue cochin baby is not walking around all that well. Or getting around I should say. It does not look like extreme cases of spraddle leg but it doesn't look normal either. The others are super active and he is not. He acts really sleepy and I never see him running around like the others. He...

    Post office sucks

    I'm getting so annoyed, and scared that my chicks are going to show up dead. I am pretty fed up with the (albany ny)post office. They are an hour away and have been there since 9am. I'm assuming they are just sitting on the counter. I keep checking for updates and-nothing. Every second that goes...

    Brooder set up and general questions.

    Hello everyone. This is our first time raising chickens. Just would like a brooder check. And our brooder plates are sinking into the bedding, is that a problem? I have raised them so the front is higher than the back. We have a multitude of chickens coming; Australorps, Whitings, Brahmas...

    Hello! New to chickens.

    Hello everyone! I am new to chickens, but we ordered 25. They will be here come March. My husband and I are not very handy but looking at the coop designs that are on BYC have really inspired me. I would like to use a chicken tractor as well as a normal coop, so we can utilize the chickens...
