She might be egg bound because none of my hens ever quit laying when they molt they range from 1-2 years in age. The stool sample sounds like a pretty good idea too. I would feel her tummy to see if it is hard. She may need some other kind of chicken food. What kind do you feed her? I feed mine...
Hi! I need help! Lol
I have a 6month old BO and she is sitting on eggs! She keeps trying to bite me and keeps making a very very very evil sound when I try to move her and is fluffed up 3 times as fluffy as usual.
How do I remove her from her nest?
I just let my duck hatch babies and I am...
Hi! I am so excited my duck hatched two baby chickens and I had to take them from her (because they aren’t ducks).
Anyway, they are now two weeks old I think and and extremely active their names are Charlotte, and Quack (because her “mom” was a duck).
I know their mom’s and dad’s just don’t...
I know right!?!
They are in there right now peeping their cute little peeps and the mommy is quacking at them. And it’s so wonderful!
Can I not watch them hatch? Or will the mommy not sit on the other eggs ( the duckies)? Any help will be greatly appreciated!
I raised mine with chickens and this is our pond...ours isn’t very big either. Mine had me as a mother they are 1year now and my girl
Is sitting on eggs right at this moment and the boys hate the pond. A lot.
Omg your ducks are beautiful.
I am having the same problem,but it was because my duck got attacked by a snapping turtle and it tore his webbing a couple months ago. They all are extremely scared of it.
I would check for turtles somehow because that’s not normal for a duck
This was taken last night.
You can see that there is piping on one of the eggs and the other was either stepped on or was a little ahead on hatching.
My ducklings will hatch in 3-4 days I think.
Today is hatching day for the chickens!!!! :celebrate
Soooo sooo excited I will be moving her babies (her chickens) into a tote with a heat lamp and I’ll still let her hatch her duck babies that way she can still hatch them and not leave the nest to take care of the chickens...
Hi! This is one of my biggest questions I keep asking myself what should I feed her? When she wasn’t broody I fed her chicken laying crumbles,but is there a duck feed? Do I feed her baby chicken food for more protein?
Anything would really help me!
I am on my 22 day I think of my duck mama...
