i have a 2 year old Blue Swedish who STILL had not started to lay this spring!! The last green egg I have seen from her was in November. All of the other duck, and also 2, either layer all winter or have restarted a few months ago. Does anyone have any thoughts to this? No stress, excellent soy...

Looking for some advice or experience... Over this winter I have a hen, or multiple that are eating my duck eggs. I do have them in the same run and huge coop. I have one duck that will lay in a bottom nexting box, but the others lay down anywhere on the floor of the coop. I have found floor...

Looking for duckling help. I received 4 ducklings this morning (48 hours old approximately), and of course 1 seems to be much smaller than the others. She looks like she isn’t able to stand and walk as strong as the others. She is always standing with her wings out....The others do as well...

I live in Northern VA and we have had the rainiest summer, that has not only left me with a muddy run and standing water, but several chickens with bumblefoot. So, husband and I spent the last two days digging trenches, adding French drainage pipes, drainage rocks and topped it with fresh...

Hi! I have an almost year old Partridge Olive Egger who went broody, and I broke her of it in 3 days. This was well over a week ago, going on two weeks, and I have yet to get an egg from her. How long does it take for her to get laying again, or do I need to be concerned something is wrong...

Hi All! I am really sure my Rouen is a female, however, the last two mornings she had been mounting the other ducks and act as if she is mating. I am thinking this is a sign of domanace? They are 18 weeks, no curley looking tail. And no green at all on her head. Could you tell me what you...

Is that possible? I thought it was an infection that hit 3-4 weeks? So, I have a little girl that I just watch her poo and it was a tad funny and had two red bits in it! I am now freaking out thinking it could be Coccidiosis:( I just watched her poo again, but this time it was solid and...

I received my day old chicks yesterday. All were so healthy looking, active, eating and drinking. Then, tonight, one of the little girls just seemed to crash. Lethargic, just wants to sleep under the heat plate. I have dripped electrolyte/probiotic/ honey water. No change and seems to be...

So, I am waiting on 12 chicks and 5 duckling. My plans is to brood them separately due to the messy and wet nature of the ducklings. However, I want them to be in the same coop. I would love your advice on what I need to do so these gals can all live together. Do they need to spend some...

Hey guys! I have done a search through other similar topic threads under guardian Goose for chicken protection, but am not seeing the answer to my question. I am a fan of watching Justin Rhodes videos on YouTube, and he talked about having just ONE Goose as a guard Goose for his chickens. I am...
