    My duck isn't walking right...

    I bought three ducks out of the mixed bin at TSC. A pekin, a khaki cambell (I think), and Scooter (middle in picture). Scooter was a bit smaller than the other two, and now he's half their size a week later. He doesn't seem distressed, but sits on his bum all the time (doesn't stand to eat...

    Will Smaller size egg hatch??

    Hi I have 1 Silkie Egg in the incubator on day 17 that is very Small compared to my other eggs. I candled the egg and it is all completely dark at this point, really do not see the air cell at all. Will this tiny egg hatch or will there be complications from being in such a tiny egg?

    4 Hen Coop and Run on a Budget

    I'm determined to have 4 laying hens by spring 2018 (I'm planning on buying pullets after our last frost). My husband thinks it is more economical to buy a pre-fab rather than make one. I've read how disappointed most folks are with the budget-friendly prefabs, so I'm curious: Is it possible to...

    Is this chick's size normal? Potential dwarf?

    I bought 4 chicks around 3 weeks ago and they were all 2 - 2.5 weeks old. They were all about the same size except one which was slightly smaller however over the last three weeks the others are almost double its size and it has only grown a little from when we first bought it. From what I can...

    Pasty butt blues

    Hello! We have new chicks about 2 weeks old. They came from a hatchery. We lost one early on that we think was just failure to thrive. The rest are happy and seem healthy. However one has struggled with pasty butt and a possible protruding vent. We have her separated so the others don't pick at...

    Does Cockerel Size Matter?

    Sorry I couldn't resist. Anyway, I just went through all of the cortunix quail eggs I am incubating and it is day 14 right now. I tried to candle them and out of 24 eggs, I have ONE that MAY be viable. My cock to hen ratio is 1:4. I am positive there is nothing in the others because I cut them...

    Very small chick - stunted?

    I am raising 100 red-bro meat birds (3rd year doing it) and they are about 3 weeks old. I have one that is tiny. It runs over to the feeder to eat until it gets crowded out and then just sits under the heat lamp. It does eat and drink though. I might have expected it to die by now as I find I...

    Severe scissor beak

    This is my 5 week old chick with severe scissor beak. I'm new to the chicken life and don't know what to do to help her. It wasn't noticeable when I got her at a few days old. I first noticed it when she was about 2 weeks and it was only off at the tip. It's now completely unaligned and her...

    Julia is our black bantam Cochin Frizzle hen. She is a sassy 18 month old with an attitude. We named her for Julia Child. Ever since March she has been losing feathers - first on her head then on her wings now on her breast. I have checked her for lice and mites but found none - I treated the...

    The Chickens Coop Mansion On A Budget

    My budget for my chicken coop had to be the smallest possible. EVERYTHING in the end including the cost of food, chicks, coop, run ended up being around $300. And this thing is *QUITE* big. We have an 18" gap between the coop and the ground and the chickens like it- its their "Cave". The...

    4 The Birds

    We started with 4 Buff Orprington chicks. They started out in a cardboard box in my kitchen under a heat lamp. When they started trying to jump out of the box, with some success I moved them to the garage and into a home made cage. I have started building their permanent coop but the project...

    Waddle In Duck Tractor

    This duck house is designed for summer use in WI. I house the ducks elsewhere in the winter. We have a dog who keeps predators out of our yard, so it is not predator proof. However, I do include options for making it predator proof. It folds up for easy storage when you remove the end pieces. If...

    Well, here it is. We decided to take the plunge over the winter, did our research, and away we went! After buying our 6 adorable little peepers from the local feed store (2 Rhode Island Reds, 2 California Gray Leghorns, 2 Araucanas) and putting them in the brooder, we got serious about...

    We decided in December we would give a couple of chickens and a few bees a try. I must confess this has been a lot more work than we initally thought it might be....but fun. There was always just one more thing to do. We live in the country but in a large subdivision so I still had to be...
