    Who do you call for hurt duck at a city park?

    My aunt told me that yesterday while she was at the park she saw a white duck with the 6 pack rings around his neck. She said it looks like it is very close to cutting into his neck. I am willing to go try to catch it, but I don't know if we can get it done with just me, my aunt, and my son. The...

    Chick just hatched and isn't acting like they normally do.

    So I had guessed that my chicks weren't going to hatch until friday. The hen was sitting on them and about half way through I took them from her and put my Serama eggs under her. I put hers in the incubator and pulled all but 2, 2 clears and a blood ring. After supper my husbands friend informed...

    Questions about Sebastopols

    I have been wanting a couple of Sebastopols for a while, my husband on the other hand is terrified of birds. It took a while for him to get used to my chickens and ducks but still keeps his distance. He doesn't want geese cause they are "mean". I understand the variables of individuals, how they...

They have hatched out 1 set of eggs but aren't as reliable as I would like with my first set of Seramas. I wouldn't hesitate to put them straight in the incubator but it is...

    How long can chicks survive cool temps?

    I had some replacement chicks coming in from the hatchery, and too be honest I completely forgot about them until I checked my email yesterday evening and had a confirmation email from the hatchery that they had been sent on Wednesday. It took 2 days last time so I thought I was lucky and would...
