My other duck is molting now. It's been a while I think.

So about a week ago this duck was egg bound. She's now wet!! She's been wet for a long time so I want to know why!? It's like her feathers aren't working how they should! She eats fine, she's on layers pellets the same as the other duck (who's fine) and the two chickens (who are fine) and...

What the best thing I can do if she is? What's the chance of survival? She's quite a young duck.

What's the chances of them becoming egg bound? We have one very poorly ducky today!

Hi guys, I did want to make a new thread but donate seem to be able to... I hope someone sees this here! I have two female Alesbury cross ducks. Both started laying at the same time and have been going strong for about 6 months. Last year, we got them at the end of season so we're told not...

Hi!! Is anyone else here living in the UK!? In from Dorset England. Am I the only one!?

Hi everyone! I have a very odd problem! I can eat eggs, mayo, cakes... Any egg product that I buy from a shop! I have a little trouble eating soft yolks with shop brought eggs but other than that I'm fine. We've been keeping chickens and ducks around a year now and my family love the...

He was sold to me as a welsummer but I don't think he is! Also, I'm pretty sure he's a he but what do you guys think?

So, please forgive my ignorance! I was given this chicken and I'm learning on the job!! Can anyone tell me what breed this is!? I think it's mixed breed and was told it was a speckled Sussex... Also hen or roo? We've had him/her 6-7 weeks, not sure how old she was before that. Thanks everyone!

More if it's a good idea to get chickens at point of lay. Obviously we got these birds quite young. I wanted older so I knew what I was getting but was told by several people that getting them younger is better so you can make sure they're used to being handled. Just wondered what you guys...

Thanks guys, seems pretty unanimous. Sad though. Means he has to go. Not sure about the other one either. She's supposed to be a speckled Sussex but I don't think she is! She's the same age as this one but a lot smaller and feathers are completely different so hopefully she's a girl! Will have...

Sorry to sound a bit thick, this is my first chicken... What are saddle feathers..?

Are these any better? It's a skittish little thing so it's difficult to get a good photo! Also any ideas on the one in the background? It's supposed to be a speckled Sussex and female but I'm not convinced!

I have photographed my welsummer chick. I got about 6 weeks ago but I don't know how old she/he is! I also don't know if it's a hen or a cockerel! I can't keep a cockerel so I'm really hoping for a girlie! Can you help!?
