Hello
I'm new to ducks. I have a kakhi cambel and a runner duck that had been laying very well this summer. I am sure my runner is molting. She hasn't laid in more than a month. My kakhi cambel stopped laying about that time but she doesn't seem to be in molt. How long till they get back in...
she has been laying for about 1.5 months and laying consistently. She has completely stopped now. Still 13 hrs of sunlight, no feed changes, no places she could have his her eggs. Only thing I can think of is she doesn't like to share her nesting box with the runner duck.

My roo is about 4 months old now. He did have some nice tail feathers but now is looking a little weathered! Is he molting at this young of an age? He still hasn't given out a crow also?? He is a roo right!?!?
my black star and leghorn are 21-22 weeks and exhibit all the sign that they should lay soon . Bright red combs, squat and one of them is giving a good laying yelp but no eggs! Does this sound normal?
So weird, but my year old hen dropped dead the other day. The only thing I can think is it was pecking the feathers out of our new silkie and must of had a blockage in her insides?? I never found feathers on the groud so she must have been eating them. Does this seem possible?
Needing some help on my silkies! I purchased them both at the same feed store. One seems to be bearded and more hair on legs and the other not. Also CAn you tell if male of female yet or should I just wait for a crow or egg??
I am having trouble telling if my silkies are male or female. The one I though was a male (because of its much larger size than the other) is looking more like a girl. The crest is more of a puff. And the smaller one Looks more like a male because it sweeps back. Any thoughts???
