What breed of chicken is this? I bought her at tractor supply but can’t remember. I feel like it was something that started with an A? Not an amaracauna. Thanks!

I have a pair of mandarins that I got last winter. They didn’t lay last year and they haven’t started laying this year. They have a relatively large pen, a big bowl of water I clean out once a day, I feed them Mazuri food, and I have a wood duck box for them to lay in. What could be causing her...

I bought a pair of mandarins over the winter and this is my first year owning them. I was anticipating some mandarin ducklings this year, but the female hasn't laid yet. She has a nesting box, and i put straw in it originally and she made a little nest, but didn't lay in it for a couple months...

Hello, sorry about all the threads I’ve been posting, hatching chicks and ducklings has me worried about every little abnormalities 😂 I have a duckling hatching right now, it pipped probably about 24 hours ago, maybe more, and it’s made a little progress but it’s not zipping. It’s beak is...

I’m hatching ducklings again this year, but for some reason a couple of them are having issues. One of them looks horrible, when I touch it it’s feathers are super hard and like the membrane is dried to it or something. It can hardly move. How can I clean that membrane off??? And help it?? Warm...

Hello, I have my first turkey that just hatched last night. I just took it out of the incubator and it’s legs seemed slightly splayed. I’ve never dealt with splayed leg, though after some research I built a “splint” to perhaps fix it, though I’m unsure if it’s even splayed leg. Haven’t seen it...

Hello! We recently bought a “Farm Innovators Model 4250 Digital Incubator”, and after almost 2 weeks it doesn’t look too good. I have over a dozen duck and chicken eggs in there, and NOTHING is developing. The temperature stays at 99.5-100*F and 50% humidity. It doesn’t seem like we’re gonna...

!!!warning, a small amount of blood below!!! I’ve posted something similar already into the ducks forum. I purchased a pair of mandarin ducks last week, they have everything they need and more. The female keeps flying herself into the side of her pen. I know how these birds are, I know they are...

I need help. Last Thursday I purchased a pair of mandarin ducks. Perfectly healthy birds. I’ve done research on them the past year, im positive I’m caring for them right. They have a nice big deep tub to swim, scratch feed mixed with a small bit of all flock, a 8x16 pen with fresh grass (it’s...

Hello! I’m getting a pair of mandarins this week, I’m super excited as this has been a goal of mine for a couple years l. I’ve done some research, I’ve seen people use all flock, which is what I use for my ducks and chickens, and incorporate other bird seed and mealworms. I also heard Mazuri has...

I’ve been searching for mandarin ducks for ages now, I’ve looked on Craigslist, several hatcherys, several sites where people can sell them and everytime I find something they’re either sold out or sold as soon as I message them. They’re my dream duck, and I just got a big enough space for a...

I just wanted to use this forum to show off my ducks! Last year I bought some hatching eggs and hatched some mallards, this year the female hatched 8 ducklings :D They all hatched today, and very quickly too. I’m surprised how well they all did, it goes so much quicker then with an incubator...

Currently I have a duckling hatching from the wrong end. It’s pipped, I was worried it wouldn’t but it has. The air sac is on the other end. So far it seems as if it’s doing fine. I’ve seen other threads on situations like this, and it doesn’t seem too difficult of a problem. If I need to assist...

Hello, I hatched a duckling yesterday and it’s leg is like stuck to its side. It’s not stuck per se, but he’s unable to stretch it out. He is healthy and he’s moving fine, just can’t walk very well. I think it could be because he was inside the egg for too long or something similar. I had to...
