Not sure if this is the right Chanel but I need help. A few days ago we lost half of our ducks. Our birds are semi free ranges- they have a large coop and secured run, but in good weather while we’re home they can be let out to wander our yard. Our birds have been doing this free ranging for...

Our leghorn, Olenna, is around 6 months. She’s laying consistently, is as friendly as ever, and very active. Her crop empties and refills, but I keep seeing these spots on her comb! i checked her throat, vent and feet. She’s all clear there, her only symptoms are these black spots. I...

Question is the title. It’s our first fall/winter w/ our birds. We live in SE Ohio, so we get snow,

🤣 🤣 Oh my god, so.… Our Roo Zelenskyy (and his brother) is around 5 months old, and he’s been working hard to impress our laying hens. He has his bro keep an eye on the pullets they hatched w/ while he tries his best to impress the hens. up until now his random mounting of the top hen has been...

I waited until everyone started laying, but ahhh! Two ducks are laying, a leghorn, and a starlight These are our first eggs, ever! the only problem? figuring out which egg is a duck egg or leghorn 🤣

Our lovely ladies are coming up over 15 weeks. While we still have time, I have been wonderijg how to manage their diet needs with the rest of the flock- including 4 ducks (who are a week older and due to lay soon as well), and six 7 week old chicks. I’ve seen a lot of back and forth on if you...

Go easy on me, these are my first chickens :oops::oops::oops: The hen in question is a Starlight green egger, She’s about almost 15 weeks. I was putting away the hens tonight and noticed one of them, a gray girl named Yara, her comb and face was bright red. Now, I’m blind, so I quickly checked...

Seems like all we got around here are weird gendeared birds 🤣 alright, so Tongs is my brother’s problem child. She came here on March 25, quacks, doesn’t have an iridescent head, etc. so, she’s a a duck, but she is the strangest duck ever. She screams (out of excitment, and to demand we feed...

Oh boy, this will be a long post! We bought 6 Whiting True Blue chicks from Murray McMurray. A straight run of three, and three pullets. Sure enough we received them on may 23rd, and three of the chicks were quite clearly pullets. I banded the other three, and in a couple days I could tell one...

Welsh Harlequins.. sweet, friendly, good ducks.... so I ordered three, got the bonus chick, now i have four Three of them, yes, im fairly sure they are WH.. but i think the fourth is a piranha! 🤣 She has always loved my brother, despite that he would just randomly pick her up and nothing else...

So, i have 4 Welsh Harlequins. All four looked like ducks as babies (which, I bought 3 girls and got the usual bonus chick). Anyway, they're now turning 4 weeks old. While the girls have dark beaks, one doesn't. But she *is* the smallest and the one with the least feathers, so I'm holding on to...

Oh, boy. Read up on My earlier thread for an extensive backstory. my questuon, in the end, is; can they develop cysts in the egg?

Seems like I have great luck with chicks, Lyanna is a chick, we’ve had her 4/5 days, so she’s at most a week old. She’s 38 grams (gaining a lot every day, this is normal for her), and she is a barred rock. Yesterday night (the 11th) I took her and the other two new chicks aside to make sure...

I’m sorry if this is the wrong place, but I’m in need of advice. My mother just got 6 chicks from Rural King, and it seems by everyone‘s account one is totally blind. She’s finally beginning to settle down in the brooder, which means less screaming, more following the Sound of her sisters. But...

Hi, my mother got 6 Chicks. They’re green eggers from rural king, so I’ve been keeping my eye on them. this one, She screams, non stop. With her bill open she will sit there and scream and scream and scream. We noticed that if one of her sisters comes over and she can feel them, she settles...

Sooo I have OCD. actual, clinical, ocd. Reading on chickens and marek’s disease, I understand that my ducks aren’t at risk, but still. We’re getting chicks from Murray McMurray later this year, but we’re looking at sapphire gems from rural king. is this a terrible idea? Is getting them in...

I’m a bit of a nerd. I always wondered what the healthy weight and gaining of chicks would be, so I decided to start keeping track of my Welsh Harlequin duckling’s weights day by day, at the morning, and at the evening. i will back post up until today.

please don’t judge me if I sound overly anxious, I’m not too concerned, but this is my first time with ducklings. I just want to know if this is normal? Female welsh Harleyquin duckling named Spoon, second day of being here. Hatched on the 23rd. I looked up and noticed her dosing off, but she...

It started with me getting a migraine. i spent a while trying to kill it with my face in a nice cold couch. Got up to use the bathroom and found something on my shirt- Great. We have bed bugs. it’s not an infestation, yet. Just in two rooms. One of which is mine. great. i go on a mad dash to...
