    Depressed rooster

    5 days ago a raccoon killed 3 hens. I had 4 bielefelder hens and a bielefelder rooster. I have 8 other hens but they are not old enough to go in with the rooster. I think he is severely depressed. He walks around with his head hung low, he barely eats and he hasn't crowed since the attack. The...

    Bully duck

    I recently added a 3 yr old call female to my flock. She is super skittish with people and my other ducks attack her. I have her separated with my black runner female and they get along fine. It doesn't look like normal pecking order behavior. 1 duck grabs her wings and pulls. I am getting 3...

    Adopted call duck

    Breeding time frame

    I recently got some saxony and appleyard ducks with 1 saxony drake. I also have 2 welsh hens and 1 runner and 1 white duclair. I know the saxony drake is too heavy to mate with the welshies, runner and duclair. My question is what months should I have the 4 smaller hens separated so I don't have...

    Weight of drake

    Is a buff orpington drake too heavy to be a mate for a welsh harlequin? I would love to have a buff drake but don't want my welshies hurt.

She poops fine, can hold her head up and look both ways. She seems to stay by herself alot and stretch her legs and wings alot. She can...
