    Female duck has a bald spot behind her neck because of overmating? options?

    I have this issue as well except I have 3 female pekin to one Khaki Campbell. He and his Pekin friend are new additions to our flock (as ducklings) and he only recently figured out what he can do (hee hee). I figured he could have his own mate since our other 2 pekin females are elders now (11...

    Squatting when I pet them. What does that mean?

    Yep, My favorite gal likes the hard scratchy 'pet'. Sometimes if I dont do it hard enough she will turn right around and peck me then squat again. Now days all I have to do is the finger wiggle and say "wanna pet" and she comes right over and squats.

    chasing and biting

    It's working, It;s working!!!! Two days now and she stands back when I come near!! She is like a whole other bird. The first few times I "pecked" at her, she fought me and tried to bite me but I kept at it. The last time I had to do this, she hung her head down and got real still.When I let...

    chasing and biting

    I have a Black Aussie hen, B'elana that likes to hunt me. At least that's what it feels like. She will sneak up on me sometimes and wait for me to start walking and then she either slams into my leg or bites me. Today was the first time she actually bit me hard enough to make a mark and it...

    My Ducks like to eat.....

    Too funny... our gals HATE carrots! Truly... they hate them. No maybe or possibly....they hate them! I have tried for 3 yrs now to get them to eat carrots in various forms and they always pick around them or spit them right back out. They go for the peas first and leave none of those behind...

    Squealing hen and other strange noises

    Can someone tell me if I have a strange bird or is it normal for my Jersey Giant to honk. My Aussie has the normal baak baak sound but the Giant walks around all day saying "honk, honk" or sounds like she's giving a warning of "hawk,hawk". She will go back and forth with me doing the noise and...

    Squatting when I pet them. What does that mean?

    The laying is good over here. Since Nugget started laying she gave us an egg every other day for a few eggs then every single day after that. Her sister is starting to red up and act differently so I'm thinking she will start soon. Shes nowhere near a squat but shes taking much more interest in...

    Squatting when I pet them. What does that mean?

    Ok.... so now I know as well. Today one of my gals came at me in the yard which she never does, and pecked my foot and looked up at me and "yelled". I didnt know what to think. I thought she was mad at me because she never does this. She "yelled" at me again and so I bent over and talked to her...

    The Austrolorp thread

    My 2 gals are doing wonderful. They were a bit spoiled and it took some time but they now understand that they are chickens. I had a terrible time getting them to sleep outside in their coop. Hubby was quite annoyed that they kept coming to the back porch door and knock on the window to be let...
