    MUCKY DUCKY!

    Hi all! I have 4 Aylesbury ducks (two female, two male) and they are 6 months old. I’ve noticed that my largest male will literally never wash himself and I’ve in turn actually named him mud. Is there a dominance reason for this? The females and the other male seem to willingly hop into the...

    No more eggs

    Hello! I have a flock of about 12 girls. A couple Roos. I typically get between 9-12 eggs a day. But the last three days I’ve only gotten one egg. Is this normal? I know it’s normal to not get as many, but will some of them just stop playing completely In the winter? Or do I need to check them...

    Oops, Two Roosters- need advice

    Hello, when one of my hens became broody, my kids convinced me to get three chicks to make her happy. I ended up with a straight run and two grew up to be roosters. They’re about seven months old now and crow back and forth nonstop. They get along with each other as brothers and rarely...

    Has my bullied hen become the bully?

    I’ll try to keep this as short as possible so not to waffle, but don’t want to miss out any details! I had a young hen, Rihanna, being badly picked and pecked by one other hen, Barbara, (and sometimes her accomplice) in the summer. Rihanna’s poor tail feathers were almost non-existent and as...

    New girls - new drama

    picked up a silver Wyandotte and a buff orp yesterday to add to my three original girls who are almost 2 yrs old. Lost one of my brahmas last week due to unknown cause- it was always a little off so maybe there was always something wrong with her. Sad. The Wyandotte has quickly become the...

    We made it!

    Well, Folks! We did it! We raised all 30 birds with no losses except for one! I’d say that’s pretty good! And we got our first two eggs today! Are eggs usually pretty small when they first start laying? Or are these from my silkies? (The white egg is for comparison of a normal egg)

I purposely didn’t remove either of them from the...
