    Two dead ducks when I came home

    I hadn't thought of that. It makes sense.

    Two dead ducks when I came home

    Last night I came home to find my beloved quackers, Thelma and Louise (Weezie), an African Runner and a Rouen, dead in their run. Weezie had been attacked by something, all the feathers on her neck were gone and her face was mostly eaten away. I looked for Thelma, then noticed her in the baby...

    Ideas on duck run top

    Solar powered electric wire, what a great idea! I've seen these at TSC, maybe I'll look into that.

    Ideas on duck run top

    For my other two chicken coops, I made sure to install a digger barrier. Over the last 6 or 7 years that I've been doing this I haven't ever noticed any sign of digging. My digger barrier goes inside the run, 6" under the sand. I've had coon droppings on top, and even had a break in (my own...

    Ideas on duck run top

    Hello, I've been raising chickens for several years now, and I used this forum to get me started. So, I've been away from here for awhile. I just got my first two ducks with my last flock of chickens. I've always wanted ducks, there is just something I like about them. I have them pictured, a...

    Does anyone know what the deal is with these spots on the egg? They are hard just like the shell. Just want to make sure its ok.

    Picking on Americauna

    About 2-3 months ago, I picked up a couple of 5 month old hens to add to my flock from a friend of mine. My flock was 3 RIR's (hens), one of the chickens is very similar looking to a RIR, not sure exactly what it is. The other hens picked on her a little at first, but then things settled down...

    Dead chicken at a year and a half

    Thanks everyone for your ideas and support, I appreciate. So far, the other 3 hens seem better than ever. No troubles in sight at all.

    Dead chicken at a year and a half

    Quote: I've seen this happen too, that's why I was wondering if she could have landed on her just right. I might be lowering it a bit. Thanks for your input, along with everyone else.

    Dead chicken at a year and a half

    I'll be watching the other three, I hope if it was sick it was nothing they can pass around. I guess I'll find out soon enough.

    Dead chicken at a year and a half

    I was mowing today and was heading toward the coop and noticed one of my RIR's laying near the edge of the chicken run. I've had all 4 of them for a year and a half now, they all seem happy and I average about 3 eggs a day. Nothing seemed different over the past few days. The dead chicken had...

    Blood on eggshell

    My chickens have been laying for 3 months, and I still get a tiny streak of blood now and then, especially with a double yolker;). No big deal.

    Landscaping timbers $1 a pop! Are they usually pressure treated?

    I don't think they are pressure treated as much as pressure treated 4x4's. And they WILL warp like Bear Foot said. For $1 each, I would snag them for other purposes. I wound up needing some because I ended up trimming the outside of my coop and run with stone, and used the timbers to edge it...

    Streak of blood on eggshell

    Ok, thanks. I wasn't too concerned but thought I should address it here. Thanks a bunch for the info. BTW, I got a double yolker in the first week.

    Streak of blood on eggshell

    I have 4 RIR's that just started laying less than a week ago (just over 23 weeks old now). I have had 2 eggs that had a streak of blood on it. All the other eggs have been fine (total of 7 so far). So I'm assuming the eggs with the blood on the outside are from the same chicken. Should I be...
