Hello all,
My poor duck has an injured foot and I need help determining what it is. We noticed this about 7 - 10 days ago and it has gotten worse since, to the point where she is having a very difficult time walking. They do live in the same pen as my two goats so perhaps the duck was stepped...
The egg this morning could have been old but the rest appeared to be fresh - within 12 hours.... I will get a photo of the next egg that is like this. Thank you all - keep the suggestions coming!!
***Help***
I need the experience of the chicken community on this one. Over the last couple of days, we have noticed that a few of the eggs that we gather in the morning, are nothing but a yellow liquid with orange chunks in it and it smells horribly (brings new meaning to the term "rotten egg"...

Hello all,
I am sad to say that my beloved 1 1/2 year old Easter Egger (Rusty) was found dead today in the chicken coop. I have no idea why? She has appeared in good health - I let them out daily and she has not shown signs of illness. I looked her over to see if any predators got to her but she...
I am not sure if this is an issue or not so what better place to find out?!?!?
I had a fly trap (sticky tape) hanging in the covered run and a piece of it broke free and found it's way onto a chicken (my little human chicken - Goldie). It was stuck to her feathers just under her wing ( so with...
The shipment of chicks coming tomorrow will all be day olds, so they will be one week behind the original 4 Jersey Giants. I was just concerned because I imagine the bantam day olds will be significantly smaller? I hope they all live in harmony!
I don't lock them in at night for most of the year and my run is fully enclosed and protected so I just have my waterer and feeder outside. Come winter time, when I do shut the door to the coop at night to cut down on the draft, I put a second small waterer and feeder inside just in case they...
I have four 1 week old Jersey Giants and should be recieving 4 Golden Sebrights, 2 Silver Sebrights, 2 white capped black Polish and 2 white capped blue polish tomorrow. My question is, do you think they will be fine together for the first few weeks? This is my first time with bantams and I am...
I have a RR that is about 9 months old and I just noticed that all of her bottom feathers are missing! She doesn't appear to be in any distress and the rest of the flock is fine (10 others, all girls). It doesn't look raw or anything like that. There may be one small area that is slightly red...
I have 4 girls that are currently laying and one has started laying spotted eggs. the last 2 eggs she has laid, look like the one below. What is it and what can I do to prevent it? I give them organic layer pellets for there main meal and supplement with some treats and scratch during the week...
I have 1 of 11 girls currently laying. I used wooden eggs to draw her to the nesting box area, which worked like a charm. My question is can I leave the wooden eggs there until the others begin laying?? At what point would I remove the wooden eggs - when all the girls are laying in the nesting...
