I have a four year old cayuga duck, the past few days I have noticed that when she goes to quack not a sound comes out. She has been completely normal otherwise, eating, drinking, dabbling and doing ducky things. The only changes that I have noticed is the past two days she has not laid an egg...

I am new to having a broody goose, I have silkies so I'm use to the broodiness. But this is my first broody goose! I noticed a few days ago my Pomeranian goose decided to set on some of her eggs. The only problem is I have no gander and I felt bad about her setting with no outcome. So I got a...

I couldn't help myself today I went into Tractor Supply just to get feed, when I saw they had ducklings. I wasn't going to get any until I saw this one special looking one. I just couldn't leave him there, he was just to special. I seem to have a soft spot for the not perfect ones, I already...

I had ordered goslings from Ideal, one Pomeranian and one Tufted Roman. But the one is not a Tufted Roman, so is she an Embden? She is a biggen, almost twice the size of my Pomeranian "Beaker". She is very watchful, and likes to protect her duck flock. I would just like to know what her breed...

I just recently hatched out 8 little mixed chicks. All had a Blue Cochin for the dad, but three had a Barred Rock for the mom. Would these chicks be sexable? I noticed two of the three had white spots on their heads, boys? The other moms where Mottled Houdan, TetraTint, and Salmon Faverolles...

I have a broody that has sit constantly for 21 days. Only getting off once every morning to eat, drink, and poop. This morning when she got off, I peeked in the nest and saw 5 pips, with 1 starting to zip. I thought cool, they are starting to hatch, babies on the way. Now this is the weird part...

These guys I got on April 20th, and they were around 2 weeks old then. So they are about 6 weeks old now. When can I tell if I got boys/girls? I have a few pics of them, any ideas or is it still to early? Also curious of what colors I got. Here is a group shot of the three in question (the...

I know you shouldn't house Coturnix quail near chickens. But I have looked through the many pages and tried searching about housing them near ducks/geese. They are not going to be in the same pen as the ducks and geese, just their hutch will be leaning against the side of the duck/goose coop. Or...

Tonight while closing up my ducks and geese, I witness the most hilarious thing. I have been keeping my 2 goslings and 2 ducklings out with the big ducks during the day, but closing them in the house separate from the big ducks at night. Well I had gotten the goslings and one of the ducks, but...

I finally got my goslings and ducklings outside yesterday! The biggest gosling kept escaping the brooder and greeting me at the chick nursery door every morning. I figured they must be big enough to go out, and boy was I right! I kept thinking they weren't big enough to go out with the big...

I finally got my three muscovy ducklings on Friday and just wondering what colors I ended up getting. The two moms (at least the ones that were setting on the eggs were a black/white and a lavender.
