This is "Red", our 7-month-old Red Sex-Link who began to show signs of Yolk Peritonitis last night. Initially we thought she was over-heated, then we thought she was egg-bound...but her breathing was raspy & she began discharging yolk-colored globs. We brought her indoors when we noticed she...

So my soon-to-be 4yr-old daughter asked for a Monster themed birthday party. Challenge accepted, Little One! My daughter wants to wear her Mummy/Vampire costume from Halloween, and she wants her father to be Frankenstein. She is a classic monster fan, for sure! Now, we're about as far...

Our chickens have been digging themselves dust baths all along our fence, and if they don't stop they'll tunnel themselves all the way into our neighbor's yard. I want to build them their own dust bath "tubs", using old tires...what kind of dirt will I want to put in there? - TieDyeMommy

Not only do we have our 5 chickens & 5 ducks (although the ducks will be re-homed soon), we also have one cat... Puss-Puss ...and one dog... Jimbo - TieDyeMommy

Want to buy some ducks? My family & I have made a decision. *deep breath* We need to re-home (sell) all 5 of our ducks. We have 3 White Crested (all believed to be female), 1 Black Crested (believed to be female) & 1 Pekin (certainly male). They are lovely, sweet & fun...but they...

We have 3 White Crested ducks & 1 Black Crested duck. Since we can't tell the three whites a part, we call them the "Three Musketeers". The brown one doesn't really have a name, at the moment, but occasionally I'll refer to her as "Brownie". Poor Brownie had a full crest the day she came to...

Over the past couple of days, I have noticed some alarming behavior with a couple of my chickens (my Leghorn & one of my EEs)... "Fred", the Leghorn, made her way onto the roof of their coop the other day...approximately 3ft from the fence, where she could easily have flown away. Luckily I...

We've only had our flock for one week...and so far, so good! We have 5 chickens & 5 ducks. I was recently informed that the ducks' "pond" (kiddie pool) water makes excellent garden fertilizer. Does anyone know if this is true or not? Any personal experiences? Either way, we still plan on...

When we got our flock, two days ago, we got the leftover feed the previous owners had been using. Looks like a generic brand chicken feed...but it's nearly empty, and I was wondering what is the best feed (store-bought or home-made recipe(s)) for our mixed flock of chickens & ducks. - TieDyeMommy

Hello BYC! My family & I just got our 1st flock today. We have 5 adolescent chickens (not sure what kind) & 5 young adult ducks (4 crested & 1 that looks like the Aflac duck). Our neighbor had been raising them, but he had to move out of state, so he made us an unbeatable deal...and now...
