We treated all of our poultry not long ago for round farm. The ducks made their way to the driveway today (they know bettter!) and left this. It looks like sprouts but I'm not sure what it could be if it's worms or not please help!
Chicken left this right at the back door yesterday. I’ve never worked them before as was told by a chicken farmer if 25+ years it wasn’t necessary- but this convinces me to go ahead. I bought valbazan (for goats) quite some time ago per a post on here. I need help in how to administer this and...
We had six chickens along with our ducks. The rest of the chickens I believe to be female but I’m not sure if this guy. Looking pretty red but it was yellow really yellow up until recently. They are about six weeks old
I am on my fourth hatch with this incubator. My last hatch was the most successful getting 17 out of 18 eggs hatched. Are use the auto turner on the first three hatches but the last hatch the eggs were too big and I had to manually do that. I just cleaned and sanitized my incubator and now I...
OK so I am hatching a batch of socks and eggs. This hatch seems different than any hatch I’ve had before as a bunch of shell got knocked off and the membrane was showing and it looked pretty solid and dry. I ended up opening the incubator with 10 other eggs already picked to look at this egg...
I’m really freaking out because I have 18 Saxony duck eggs in my incubator right now and I have 11 which have pipped. And they’re all looking like this… Eggshell coming off but membrane intact. I have never had this happen before and I’m afraid I’m going to lose the whole hatch. What do I do...
OK I’m not talking fairy eggs- but all of my ducks eggs seem to be getting smaller and smaller. Will not seem to be… They are. They’re the size of my chicken eggs and sometimes smaller. What could be the reason for this? They are not new layers. Their eggs are fertile and vine as I just hatched...
I had 2 hens given to me from my neighbor. Her chickens ran the fence line with mine so they were already aquatinted and had been around each other. We kept the ladies in the coop for about a week before letting them free range with our flock. Yesterday, I found one in the nesting box limp Amd...
I hatched 3. 2 are definitely roosters. I think all 3 really but wanted to check with y’all. Are those saddle feathers on the one in the back or no? I’m thinking all roosters but hoping for a hen lol
We’ve had a surge of casualties the last couple weeks bc of a hawk or something. Went through securing every best we could and trying to get all the birds back in the pen and coop before we leave if we aren’t going to be home at dusk.
We lost our favorite “sammie” to a hawk and the other night I...
I hatched duck eggs the first go around and this thing was wonderful. I had bought a cheaper incubator from eBay and lost all my eggs due to the winter storm here in Texas. The temperature and humidity was never consistent in that thing so I decided to purchase this $150 incubator from tractor...
Why would she be like this? Her back is raw and I had a chicken saddle because my rooster is too rough but I took it off of her in hopes that it would help her feathers grow back quicker. But now it’s like a raw chicken breast under her wing and I’m not really sure what to do and why it’s like this.
I have one neighbor who Has had chickens for about and year and a half and worms her chickens every 6 months. I have another neighbor who has had chickens for many years and never had worked hers.
I chose to listen to the veteran mainly bc of her chickens are fine without the cost and withdrawal...
I have four ducks sitting on one nest. I had one duck go broody steal everybody’s eggs -sit on way too many eggs where I had to take bunch out and shut her away and she hatched seven ducklings ….killed one and I rescued two others. The other four she’s fine with. Since then the other four have...
Hi! I posted awhile back about our Ruth and most said girl… however my boys are swearing “she” crowed today. “She” looks pretty masculine to me with that comb and wattle.
Is she a he?
OK so as the story goes I have a duck who gathered other ducks eggs along with her own and was hatching them and they are a week and more apart. We found one duckling out the other morning behind the food tray and not with the ducks. Just recently had still wet and cold. I put her with mama and...
