Hey there so I noticed on both of my “Anconas” who I’m pretty sure are actually mixed breeds that they have buldging rears I’ve been told there just eggs sacks as one of them started developing it last year and the other less severe one started developing it this fall but what’s concerning me is...
Note: I got my first chickens!
Okay so I went in there coop to attempt to hand feed them and willow and Luna escaped so then I opened the door to chase them back in and Luna went back in but right as I got willow in Luna escaped (AND I COULD NOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME GET HER IN)...I thought ducks...
So I just bought three chickens yesterday to add to my duck flock... however when I went to go hand feed them treats i made the mistake of leaving the door cracked open just a bit so I wouldn’t be locked in I’m so used to ducks that when I went to chase her she flew away. Which wouldn’t be a...
Kinda urgent. My duck seems to have a bulge on her butt which from what I’ve heard, may be water belly... but I’m not sure. I’m really worried and I don’t know what I’m gonna do cause I’m not aloud to take her to the vet. I’m scared to drain it incase it’s not what it is. She’s looked like this...
I took my duck for his first walk today as I heard they like it and that it can be really good for them but when I came home and checked his foot I saw this. I don’t think it was there before, but I’m not sure. He doesn’t seem uncomfortable or anything but I’m just curious if I should be...

Hello! I was given 5 baby Pekins back in the fall and was told there probably Perkins but could be saxony or a mix... Anyways, I was wondering if it is normal for them to have pale bills... all 3 of my ducks (two females one male) have a pale bill so maybe it’s a saxony mix... However they still...
Hey so i think it’s my pekin laying these but every egg she lays has these spots and I was wondering if it’s normal. There always just little spots and I didn’t know ducks did that. Or if it’s my mixed breed laying these
