    Mites, but what type

    I live in Colorado springs and I found these little critters in-side the handle of a metal coal shovel I use to clean my coop.

    Legbar or Araucana

    What kind of egg is this?

    So to start off, I have 4 Easter egger chickens and three brown Ancona ducks. My chickens are 28 weeks and have been giving me 1-2 eggs a day for several weeks. The ducks are 25-26 weeks old and I had given up on them as all being males. When I pick them up they are mostly quiet, but not raspy...

    gender and wing clipping

    I have three ancona ducks approximately 9 weeks old. Is there any way to tell gender besides the voice? One acts different than the other two, lays with its head on the ground, sometimes I think it is dead, but, then i poke it and it is fine...lol, it also is usually a few steps away from the...
