I have been faced with the unfortunate issue that involves a leg band becoming embedded in my hen's leg. After having this issue once before, I removed the leg bands from all my birds except for two (who I couldn't catch) and sure enough, one of those two is now limping around the coop, with a...

Hello There. Somewhat recently we added a potbelly pig to our farm and I was wondering if anyone else here keeps theirs with chickens and ducks, because I am hoping to get some information on co-housing them. Thanks!

Ok folks, I am coming to you guys because I am at my last limb with my broodyness in my flock. In my flock of about 35 or 40 birds, 27 have gone broody in the last couple months!!! I am tired of explaining to egg customers that I don't have any eggs to give them, and I am tired of dumping dozens...

Hi Folks. I free range my ~40 chickens and 2 ducks pretty often and recently a fox has been pretty bold and so have a few large red shouldered hawks and I was wondering if (in addition to being great pets) geese would protect my flock and/or alert them (and us) to predators when they are free...

Hello Folks! We have a 25 x 25' chicken run that is on a slant and causes all beddings we use to wash downhill (against the barn) and therefore there is always a very rocky surface left over. The dirt is very packed down (like trying to shovel wood, seriously ) and our chickens' feet are...

I will be selling hatching eggs (which I can ship for an added fee) as well as ducklings (straight run most of the time). Here are photos of our hens - they are purebred White Pekin ducks and are unrelated to each other. I sell them for $5 an egg or for $20 a duckling. I'm always interested...

Hi There! Me and my friend were going to start breeding geese this Spring and were wondering if Goslings raised with a mate would cheat on their mate if later put in a pen of pairs of other breeds when mature. Has anyone tried this? Thanks for the help!

Hi Folks. This Spring/ Summer I was hoping to strip my entire barn and power wash and disinfect the entire thing. My goal is if there is any disease or parasites in there to eliminate as many as I can and anywhere they could be living. I would love your help getting suggestions on how to do...

Hi there I have a rooster who has trouble walking. his legs look fine and the vet did not know what was wrong. he was always a runt and maybe it was a birth defect. does not appear to be in pain. don't really have room for him as he doesn't mate or anything and don't like seeing him like this...

Interested in a Pekin drake for my two white Pekin ducks. Would love a few females with him if available. Would love them shipped or local. Located in Fairfield, CT. Please let me know :D

Hello Folks. This spring I am hoping to start breeding Pekin ducks. I got two Pekin hens at a show a couple weeks ago, age unknown, and still no eggs. I'm curious as to whether I can still use them for breeding. When ducks reach age do they stop laying like chickens do? I was going to try to...

Hi Folks! I have about 50 chickens and two ducks. Most of them live in a big coop (our barn has different stalls set aside as coops) which is a 12x12' horse stall connected to a run that's 25 x 25' and about 6' or 7' tall with aviary netting. I was hoping to add a peacock or two as pets and...

This summer we are hoping to build a decent sized duck pond for ducks and geese. We would like one that will be fairly decent sized (enough for maybe a dozen ducks and geese), easy to clean or not needed to be cleaned, and not too expensive. We would like to do it ourselves if possible as well...

Hello Folks! I got these two pekin ducks at poultry congress last weekend, no idea of age! No eggs yet but look female to me. Thanks!

Hello Folks. Unique Situation here and need some help rather badly. Our 25 x 25 chicken run is alongside our barn, and is under/ next to a tree which drops leaves and branches into the run (if they don't get caught in the aviary netting.) The run is on a slant so when theres water it pushes...

Will have free mixed breed and pure breed layers available in Fairfield, Connecticut. By request only, and only to a good home.

Hello Duck Folks! Yesterday at Notheastern Poultry Congress I purchased these two Pekin ducks (whom were labeled Runner ducks) and seem to be females. Here are my questions for you guys: How can I make them feel at home and happy? How can I get them to eat their layer pellets? They do...
