    Help with breed identification/sexing 3 month old ducks!

    Hello! First time Duck owner here! We had a broody hen ( no rooster) so we decided to have a little fun and let her sit on some random duck eggs I picked up from someone on Facebook. She successfully hatched two but they look nothing alike! Any help with breed identification or guesses on sex...

    Hens no longer laying in box

    hi there I know this has been asked before but I’m new to forum and new to chickens so any additional, personal responses will help! We have 3 hens-rhode island red, leghorn, and Ameruacana, pullets I guess, raised by us from chicks that are a little over 7 months old. They all began laying...

    Marek's or Vitamin Deficiency: 10 day chick can't walk, falling over, sitting on haunches!

    Well just to update anyone that reads this thread: max didn't make it. :( I'm not sure what happened. It was 8 days of her being separated from the others and although she wasn't getting worse, she wasn't really getting better. We move them all every night into the bathroom so our house cat...

    Marek's or Vitamin Deficiency: 10 day chick can't walk, falling over, sitting on haunches!

    I was confused by @centrarchid's post about fresh feed. Still just giving her what I got at feed store, the unmarked bag of chick starter. Her legs seem ok but I agree it may be worth making her a little seat. She seemed to be having little tremors on Thursday/Friday when I first noticed her...

    Marek's or Vitamin Deficiency: 10 day chick can't walk, falling over, sitting on haunches!

    Sure! These were from today as I cleaned their box and they were exploring. She sits back on her feet and pecks around and only gets up to run/fly to catch up if everyone leaves her. I still have her separated in her own brooder so she doesn't get trampled over by her " sisters". Given her...

    Marek's or Vitamin Deficiency: 10 day chick can't walk, falling over, sitting on haunches!

    Wow! Thank you so much for the detailed response! Her poop seems ok. I've even looked at a chicken poo chart which was pretty gross. Sometimes it's runny and brown, but mostly it's looks like normal chicken poop with some white in it. I don't think any of them get cold when they are outside...

    Marek's or Vitamin Deficiency: 10 day chick can't walk, falling over, sitting on haunches!

    this is my first time with chicks. On 7/13 I brought home 4, 2 day old chicks from a local farm store-don't know where chicks came from. I set up a brooder in an oversized clear plastic storage container, with pine shaving, water, and food (just chick starter they gave me in unmarked bag at farm...
