    Long string poop that is not worm

    I got two chicks from the feed store on Saturday. Today (Monday) someone has poop that looks like a long worm, like 3” long. But it’s not a worm. It’s poop that breaks up when I touch it. These are tiny couple day old babies. I did start putting corid in their water yesterday because I thought...

    Baby Silkie died unexpectedly

    Hello, I have only had ducks/chickens for a little over a year, so I was wondering if I could get input from those more experienced. Last Friday, I got 2 silkies from a local chicken breeder. She is supposed to be very reputable. People in our chicken group get babies from her all the...

    Bloody stool in 2 week old silkies

    Yes that chick. The stool seems normal now, and acting and eating normally. They were on medicated feed until I got them Friday and put them on non-GMO soy free feed.

    Bloody stool in 2 week old silkies

    I got these two slikes Friday. One now has bloody stool. Coccidia? They're on Texas Naturals Feeds, which I think is nonmedicated. Should I just get them in medicated feed? Is something else better to treat? Could it be something else?

    Buffs are not laying

    I have 4 ducks who were born last August, so just under a year old. 1 White Layer, 1 Welsh, 2 Buffs. They all started laying in January when they were about 5 months old, and I consistently got 4 eggs (every once in a while 5) from them all winter. About 4-6 weeks ago, I started getting only...

    Which Duck Lays The Most Eggs But DOES NOT Fly??

    I got them from Metzer last August. There shouldn't be blood feathers right now, right? Based on their age? They are so squirmy, I don't think I'll have time to check before cutting. I'm so stressed about this.

    Clipping wings

    Hello, I have 4 ducks that I purchased for their egg laying abilities, and because I was under the impression that they wouldn't be able to fly over a privacy fence because they are a bit heavier than wild ducks. I have a Welsh Harlequin, 2 Buffs, and 1 White Layer. They are all pretty...

    Which Duck Lays The Most Eggs But DOES NOT Fly??

    All 4 of mine fly over a 6 foot plus fence, unfortunately. 1 White Layer, 2 Buffs, 1 Welsh Harlequin. Great layers, but I got them because supposedly they wouldn't be able to fly over a privacy fence. That was a lie.

    Can you tell which duck these eggs belong to?

    I have a white layer, Welsh, and 2 Buffs, all barely over 5 moths. They live together and it's not worth their stress for me to separate them to find out who's laying, but I was wondering if there is a way to tell their eggs apart by color or size, or something? It's not a big deal, I'm just...

    Cold AND Rainy

    I know that logically, they can, but they never do go back! Until dark, then sometimes they go back on their own, sometimes not.

    Cold AND Rainy

    Ok, so it's been between 35-41 degrees the last 2 days AND drizzly. Meaning everything in my backyard is wet, except for inside the duck pen. Do I let them out, or are the conditions too bad. I know they can handle the temps, but what about the fact that nothing will be dry for them to walk...

    Bagged Food

    I'm looking for a bag food to replace the organic, no soy, non-gmo chick starter that I have been feeding my ducks (yes, I've been adding Niacin). The bag should be finished in the next week. They are currently 4 weeks old. I keep reading conflicting info about how much protein they need at...

    Is it too hot outside for my ducks?

    The smell is too strong, even with changing the entire bedding every other day, to keep them inside any longer. They can easily get in and out of the pool without a problem, so drowning shouldn't be an issue. How old are y'alls ducks when you typically move them outside? I live in Texas, it's...

    Is it too hot outside for my ducks?

    I have 4 one-month-old ducklings who I moved outside yesterday all day (in at night), and am moving outside permanently today. They are a white layer, 2 buffs, and 1 WH. They are getting some feathers. They are currently laying under the tree in complete shade, right next to their water, and...

    Niacin

    I've been using pine shavings on the bottom for them because I read np was a bad choice, so I don't think that's it. I'm not concerned about the size of the WH, just interesting that one buff is so big, and also that the two biggest are the most pigeon toed. Wish I knew what else to do. My white...
