    (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? My mom got chickens 16 years ago after immigrating our family to Australia. They were silkie chickens. I got my first chickens myself in my early 20s but suffered a terrible miscarriage that almost killed me so I gave them to my mom...

    Duck Bill/ Over mating?

    Hi guys, I just got 3 Pekin ducks from someone. 1 male, 2 females. The females look like they're overmated? They both have missing neck feathers. But this one has missing feathers on her eyes as well. And she has a horrible beak! Is this from over mating or is it a fungal thing? Poor girl!

    Help… new to ducks and not sure what to do!

    Hi, I’m needing help with my Pekin duck. I noticed her tail looked weird, apparently her feathers fell out of her tail area. I looked at her tail and it’s like it’s decaying/ate around. It’s very hard to explain, I got a bad picture of where it’s located. I can possibly get a new picture. I’ve...

    Tube feeding question

    Hello so my duck has been sick for a couple weeks now and hasn’t been eating so we have been tube feeding her. We have been tube feeding her 3 times a day, and I was wondering if we tube feed her for too long, will she forget how to eat food regularly? And will she become solely dependent on us...
