Ok so, my flock of 6 chickens has been doing great. Since the weather has turned cold here in Michigan, some of the chickens have stopped laying eggs (which I hear is normal). This morning when I went to feed and water them, I noticed that one of the hens has some blood near her rear-end...

One of my female Pekin ducks (approx. 4 months old) has had runny/wet looking eyes for the past 3 to 4 weeks. She also frequently has foamy bubbles in her eyes. Is this a sinus or respiratory infection? I have been giving her Duramycin-10 (1 tsp per gallon) in her water for about 7 days and...

Does anyone have any idea what breeds my new girls might be (2 white/black and 2 buff/gray)? They all lay a tan colored egg. The white one with yellow legs also has green earlobes. The rest have red earlobes. I know they are mixed and wonder what breeds...

These pictures makes me laugh...for 4 chickens we installed two identical nest boxes. Is this what they mean by "favorite nest box"? They need to get their schedules figured out! :)

So our two Pekin ducklings are over a month old now and we are currently building them a nice secure pen out back behind our house near the pond. We had planned on letting them free-range the field and pond during the day and then lock them up at night. I have seen large den holes next to the...

Not having a good morning. Got up this morning to find that one of our 3 week old Pekin ducklings cannot walk. It lays on the group with its head kind of whobbling and when it tries to stand up, it just falls over onto its back. I am so upset and have no idea what to do to help it. Can...
