    Water belly and eating eggs?

    I think a few of my ducks that I just adopted have water belly. One of them already did but the others just suddenly developed larger abdomens within the last few days out of the blue. I am reading up a bunch and figuring out if there’s anything I can do for them BUT in the meantime.. can we...

    Khaki Campbell duck - distended tummy and maybe prolapsed vent?

    I acquired a flock to add to mine and discovered one of the khaki Campbell hens has a distended tummy and when I checked out her vent, it does seem to protrude if ai give any pressure to her tummy or if she kind of “pushes”. She secretes a bit of white, milky liquid too. Given the circumstance...

    Breed question! Eggs don’t match breeds?

    So my girls (or at least A girl) just started laying this week for their first time. Exciting!!! However, I am confused now because we received 4 olive eggs and we have hens that are 3 separate breeds… and all are supposed to lay brown eggs from what I know. So now I’m questioning what we have...

    7 week old Rhode Island Blue (Production Blue) Sexing help?

    Hey all! I know I could wait to hear the anticipated sound, but I’m getting anxious trying to determine if we need to move house to accommodate a possible rooster since we are currently in city limits (jk, kinda 😅). We took a chance and purchased production blues from TSC. All the rest of our...
