Thank you everyone!! I'll try both oyster shells and a calcium pill and see what happens.

I knew I could count on this site for good advice!! First question, how do you give a pill to a duck? I know, I know dumb question, but I'm new to this. Second, if I'm feeding her, as well as, my others who are younger out of same dishes and water bucket what would you recommend for making sure...

I have a female Pekin, Louise, who is about a year and a half old. She has been laying eggs just fine up till about two weeks ago. Two Fridays ago she laid an egg with no shell, just the membrane. Then she didn't lay anything till this last Friday, when she laid another shell-less egg. Has...

Can either of you tell us...if we put them all together before the younger ones are old enough to lay will they mess with the eggs of the older ones?

Thank you! We knew the one store had to be full of it. We definitely like the Orpingtons better. They are much prettier and easier to work with. Thanks again!!

Can anyone tell us what kind of chickens we have? We were told by both stores that these were all Rhode Island Reds. As you can see this is not the case. The lighter golden brown ones are very calm and docile, while the darker red ones are aggressive and skittish. The golden ones have...

Thank you so much for the information!!! We have changed feed and our birds are looking better already!!!!

Thanks for the great information. We will work on getting them switched to grower feed.

My husband and I are new to chicken raising. We have about 45 Rhode Island Red chicks that are about (rough guess) 10 weeks old. They have been, what we assume is, molting their feathers for quite a few weeks now, and seem to be having trouble growing them back. We were told by our local farm...
