Help! My ducklings picked the worst weekend to hatch! Two of my females are broody together, sharing a nesting box. I saw one of the first little peepers today... except it’s supposed to drop to 29° tomorrow night! Will they be okay under the moms, or should I set up a heating lamp indoors? I...

I just went in and separated them, she is acting pretty frantic when I get near her. I am trying to back off as much as possible but didn’t think about removing the drake :hmm

She is sharing the coop with the drake.

My blue Swedish has been broody for roughly 29 days. This morning I checked the eggs, no visible pips but I didn’t want to bother them. Then I found a little dead one, his butt end was still in the shell. He did not absorb all the yolk yet. Do you think he hatched prematurely? What about the...

Hello, This morning I found my pekin with blood around his ear and neck. Only on his right ear, no blood on the left. He is acting 100% normal, his eyes are clear and he is eating. He plays with my chihuahua, and they can get a little rough sometimes. Could this possibly be due to head trauma...

I have equine panacur paste! How much do I use and how do I administer? I have 8 chickens. Thank you!

Merry Christmas everybody! I know everyone is busy but I would greatly appreciate if somebody would take time out of their day to tell me what is wrong with one of my chickens. She is a red sex link, not yet a year old. She has not been laying and her cloaca looks very pale. She looks to be very...

Hello, Backyard Chicken community! I am a young girl living a farm life in the city! With my three cats, two dogs, eight chickens, and now my newest edition- two call ducklings! I have decided to share my story, and I will soon be kickstarting my own blog! I expect to have it up and running...

Oh! Cool! Thank you so much!

I have a question. I have call cross ducklings and I have noticed this little tuft of yellow hair on my ducklings' tail. They are almost 2 weeks. Could this be the male curly feather developing?
