Vent and under wings clear. I don’t observe anyone hen pecking her during the day, but she is lower on the totem pole. If she...

    She looks horrible

    I have one hen that is looking really horrible. This is my first time raising chickens. They were given to me last year around this time. They all layed eggs well at the time. Then when spring hit, they slowed to about 1 to 2 eggs a day. Now, I haven't gotten an egg in 3 days. All of them look...

    How can I tell if my duck is being picked on by my other ducks?

    So I have four ducks (all female) and recently I've noticed that three of them have been picking on one of them. They've been nipping at her and she's always in the back of the group when they move around. She's usually outside of the group when they forage too. She also hasn't been laying (we...
