I know I'm a little late to this party, but last week my Rouen duck and my red sex-link roo got into a big enough pecking fight that by the time I made it outside to break it up, the Rouen had his beak torn all the way across the top of his bill. He also has bleeding at the top of his head from...

If anyone is looking for this, I just bought it on Amazon for $17.00! It worked great for our hen's eye infection.

Magdelaine, You are very correct, we are new to chickens. The woman we got these from met us at a gas station with them in a box, so I was not able to see the 75 others she has to compare with. The 9 we have now have are 3x their size, so we keep the little ones in the med size dog crate in the...

This so frustrating as she claimed the mother sat on this hatch the whole time. What took me for surprise was she told me they were clean legged, yet both of them have feathers on their feet. She mentioned a much younger batch she had with feathers, if I wanted those, but when I assured that I...

I need Help! We picked up two (pullets) yesterday, that according to the owner's calendar, were 2 1/2 months old. We were told they were 3 months prior to getting, but none the less, when my husband brought them home I was very confused. The (much) taller one appears fully feathered, yet...

I noticed this is a pretty old post, but I'm curious. Did you figure out the pond, and if so, what worked best for you. We are going to start one as well, and I've been told it takes lots of research and planning!

He sure is a fiesty fellow...and acts like the leader of the pack. We had an unpleasent incident when trying to introduce a new duck to our flock, and he tries attacking her. The rooster is about 11 wks old and the duck was about 5 wks. I wonder what breed the other white one is then. Hmmmmm

what are your thoughts on my mystery bird? I was told it was a longhorn pellet, but we were told he/she looks like a red sex-link. Pretty sure our girl is a roo now, but the breed is now a mystery.

Here is a better picture of my (supposedly) white leghorns. The one in back has small pink features on its head vs the red. Can we confirm it's a longhorn? We pulled our bunch out of the bins at Rural King, and my experience is that you never actually know what your're getting.

your guys look just like my longhorns and im pretty sure i have at least one rooster. it cackles, is mean, and head butts the other. It will go after our rouen ducks too.

This has me all confused now. Here is a picture of our three rouens when they were approx. a month old. The picture below it is at about 9 weeks. Our "female" had a yellowish beak and the males have the olive colored bill. The female also had a very distinct quack compared to the harsh quiet...

We have a pretty secure setup and haven't had any problems before. It was my fault for leaving the yard for a few minutes without putting them away. It looks like our only options for a while will be finding another breed.

Hello neighboring Floridians! I've been browsing on this site for months now & just decided to be a member. Haven't seen any true neighbors, as far south as Naples, but its nice to know so much valuable info you can find here.

We lost two of our Rouen ducks to a bobcat two nights ago. Luckily I came outside before he came back for the third. I went inside for 20 min to make them a snack, and when I walked out, the lone guy was standing in the middle of yard, facing the porch, quacking for me, as the bobcat jumped...
