I received a muscovy and black Indian runner duckling today, their brooder is all set up with a heating plate, fresh water supplemented with niacin and starter feed (has to be general starter because waterfowl specific feed is hard to find here). Oddly though, despite them being fearful of me...

This is Tina And this is the best I could manage of getting the other hens

My flock consists of four Comet hens and three Orpington pullets along with various breeds of ducks and geese. Recently the biggest hen, Tina, has been acting possessive of me (this is the only way I can describe it). If she sees me come in the pen she'll immediately go underneath my chair and...

Not much beyond rejoicing that the pepper plants my geese and ducks stripped down actually somehow survived, i don't know how they managed to get to it (I had planted it in an area with fencing to help prevent that as I was under the impression that pepper leaves could be toxic but they must've...

So many talented bakers here, and yet i can't so much as look at cake batter without it catching fire lmao

So apparently I have to justify/clarify. These chickens are not permanently inside, they're too young to be outside on their own and I was diapering them to allow them some time outside of their brooder to follow me around the house as they've imprinted on me and will scream if I leave the room...

Duly noted but I don't really see how that answers my question?

I have two lavender cochin bantams that I keep in the house, and I've been trying to get them used to being diapered but they just refuse to move flopping onto their sides and staring at me while chirping, unless it's jumping in an absolute fit. I've made sure that their diapers aren't...

I keep two call ducks inside, diapered up. When I change their diapers i obviously wear latex gloves that will occasionally get torn and even though I'm usually good about cleaning up these scraps apparently one escaped me. I caught my duck just in time to see them gulp down a coin sized scrap...

They've all been doing great! I actually have two lavender cochin bantams that are going to be inside chickens. Sanda's voice has been trying to change, though they can't seem to decide if they want to quack or make raspy cries hahaha

One of them is honking so i can tell on that front, the one pictured is a late bloomer due to some complications when he was little so I'll have to wait i suppose haha

Thanks! So safe to assume they're both girls then given the lack of green feathering on the heads? Or does that take a bit longer to grow in?

My two inside ducks are calls, and i thought they might be mallard patterned (the other one is identical to Sanda here) and i was wanting confirmation of it? I can't seem to find a complete chart of patterns for call ducks haha

I'm using a poultry heating pad and toanother brooder heater to help supplement their heat, though another one passed this morning. I'm wondering just what could be the issue at this point

I received three Serama chicks in the mail yesterday, unfortunately one didn't survive the trip. I have the remaining two in a box with their food and water under a heating plate set as low down as I can make it while still allowing them to move freely. However, they keep peeping loudly and...

Looking at it, yeah it appears so! Well i suppose I can't complain about getting such adorable babies hahaha

Four toes so not a Silkie, I'm looking into the other breeds the hatchery offers and I see: Lavender Marans, Cochins, Easter Eggers, and Wyandottes

I received three Malaysian Serama chicks today, and lo and behold when I open the box, two extra chicks appear! What breed they are though I have no idea

They're getting along great, Gaira's stopped freaking out when I diaper her but she's more than willing to tell me she doesn't like it. Both of them just enjoy wandering around and sleeping against me

One of my mallard call ducklings, and my buff orpington chicks! The hatchery actually sent an extra pullet by mistake hahaha
