    Duck Disappearance - Hiding?

    That’s my first instinct. It’s the first time we’ve ever had a predator get into the fenced in areas if so. I’m hoping she turns up by bed but if she doesn’t I’ll know it was a predator.

    Is a Niacin Deficiency possible (even with Purina Duck feed?)

    Thank you all! For some reason I never got notified of these replies. For anyone that’s curious they did grow out of their wobbly legs! It did seem like they were needed to move more.

    Chickens Leg Turning Gray ??

    Hi All - I’m a little concerned about one of my girls. She’s a Rhode Island Red & about 6 months old. Last night we had our first night in the teens (16) so I’m worried it’s the onset of frostbite. They have a coop that isn’t drafty but some of them roost up high and some of them lay in extra...
