If anyone is able and willing, there are about 30 Muscovy ducks at the entrance of Holley By The Sea in Navarre, (Sunrise Drive and Navarre Parkway intersection), that are being threatened and need to be relocated before they are destroyed. If you are able to help re-home these ducks to your...
I have 5 bantam chickens that I raised from chick; 2 are roos, 3 hens; I rescued a standard size BR Roo; is it possible for them to co-exist without killing each other? Or is it a chance I shouldn't take? If they can co-exist in the same run, how do I introduce them?
I went outside tonight to shut the coop and heard "snoring". I went in to investigate and one of my hens had this weird breathing, (see link). I brought her inside in a temporary pen away from the others, (none of them were sounding this way) and did a thorough look over. Her eyes are bright...

I have to admit, most of the...
I have 4 RIR hens and one of them isn't laying eggs anymore, but I can't tell which one. Noticed only 3 eggs three days ago and have been this way since. Today, I did a thorough exam on all of them, they have full crops, (Normal, not crop-bound), they don't feel fat or too thin, they are all...
