    So far no luck.

    This is just great...I have Egg-bird syndrome!

    For weeks I could not understand why every once in a while I would get stomach cramps and start to vomit . The quiche for dinner night was the worst night ever! I figured it out finally and I am not happy to say it has been the eggs all along making me sick. Just this year I started my flock of...

    Too many eggs! Need to sell some.

    Can anyone give me tips on how I should go about selling the extra eggs that I have from my 6 chickens and 3 ducks? I was thinking of posting on CL or maybe posting signs around the neighborhood letting people know there are eggs for sale. I can only sell maybe a dozen chicken and a dozen duck...

    Chicken spending the day in nest box.

    I don't think she is broody. She lets me pull eggs out from under her and she stays out when I pick her up and put her out. It just seems a bit odd that when she gets in to lay an egg she just doesn't get out again. She has only done it the past two days. Anyone have any ideas why she is doing...

    curious spying people...

    Woke up to the egg song at 7am and decided to go outside. After peaking in and seeing EMILY (RIR) the last of my 6 hens to start laying and Truth (my BRxEE) sitting in the nest boxes I went and sat on the bench by the run to help me wake up. I hear some ladies walking on the bike path in the...

    Small and ugly.

    I have 6 chickens of which only 5 are laying. I have three chickens who lay lovely eggs in both color and size. One EE lays ugly little speckled eggs that are almost always a little deformed. I have one hatchery EE who lays ugly grey speckled small and long eggs. Since they have only been...

    Ideas to keep bird from laying from roost.

    My RSL has been laying for almost a week. She had two good eggs in a nest box but now I keep finding them beneath the roost. I have two nest boxes for 6 chickens only 4 are laying yet. I added another nest box (yesterday) thinking that maybe she was either bullied out of a nest box or they were...

    My Female KC likes my pullet RIR...too much.

    I gave away my two drakes and now my KC has two duckling buddies to hang with, but... When I free range my chickens in the evenings my KC finds my RIR and follows her around chortling(?) and bobbing her head to the side. Then she will lay down next to the RIR who looks at her like she is crazy...

    Loud quacking.

    I got three khaki campbells early march. Last week I gave away two that were drakes. Now she has two 4 week old ducklings as buddies, but she has started to have loud QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK moments. She hardly ever did this before the drakes left, but now she does it many times a day. Is this...

    Can a person just have male ducks?

    Do drakes get frustrated without a female or are they ok living without females?

    Crossed wings.

    I just noticed tonight that one of my drakes has wings that cross at the ends. He seems to be twitching his wings a lot tonight and at sometimes his wings would hardly cross and at other times they crossed almost half way up his wings. Why is he doing this?

    Hard shell & soft shell on same day

    Is this sort of thing common for a newly laying pullet? She just started the 13th of this month. Her eggs have been small, but she lays them around 9-10am. This afternoon she layed a soft shell this around 8pm also. Will this mean no egg tomorrow?

    Giving away KC drakes

    I have turned to freecycle since I can't seem to get rid of my 11 week old Khaki Campbell drakes on craigslist. Sure enough, I got 3 responses right away! Now I am wondering how I should go about deciding who to give them to. One person provided no information about themselves. Another person...

    Picture sharing!

    I have no reason to post anything other than to share the cuteness. Show me your cuteness too! Welsh Harlequin and black runner. The KCs were a little TOO into the babies ( I can see in my minds eye them nibbling the babies to death ) They sit on my feet everyday they have free time. They...

    Gsl?

    I was told she was a GSL. By all the pictures she looks it. But at 12-16 weeks (I can't remember her hatch date) her waddles and comb are looking rather more developed then any other of my chickens her same age. Please tell me she is a she! Hope Im just paranoid.

    Mating with my chickens.

    So I'm new to chickens and recently one of my chickens has been squatting in front of me. I know this is a sign that she will soon lay eggs and that she thinks I'm rooster quality (I guess I should be flattered?). Anyway, my question is...What do you do when they keep squatting right infront of...

    How long will it take...

    For my chickens to get along. I introduced my wee ones to my older pullets a month ago and they are still not getting along. My older gals are still chasing the little ones around (hardly any pecking though). I'm hoping my older pullets will mellow when they start laying and that should happen...

    Got my ducklings!

    This is my first runner so I was wondering if it is normal for them to walk kinda weird (she shuffles and loses her balance), she is a day old so she hasn't had much practice, but my WH walks normally. She also rests on her butt after standing a little and seems a little less vigorous then the...
