Hey there, I have a female buff duck, almost 2 years old, who recently has started acting strange. We first noticed that when the flock would venture to the neighbors yard she would stop walking, drop her wings and wanted to be carried back to our yard. This is very unusual as our ducks do not...

Two nights ago a predator attacked and killed 2 out of 3 of my ducks. It even ate the eggs my female duck was sitting on. The one who survived is devastated 💔. He wont eat, quack, or enjoy his day. My family is sad but we need to to find a new home with ducks so he can hopefully be a happy guy...

Hello all, Our Indian Runner ducks laid eggs and diligently sat on them up until the first one hatched. The mother then accidentally suffocated the first baby so we removed the other eggs and very swiftly put them in the incubator. All 8 had pipped, and after 12 hours everyone but two had...

Advice on if I need to assist with this hatch. Newbie so I don't know what I'm doing. Not sure the exact days either. I don't want to lose the little duckling so any help would be great. Thank you. Incubation temp 100° Humidity 50%

My rooster Andy is a big sweetheart. He was 'not to often' with his ladies when it came to topping them. There were no injuries or feather issues. Well, then I had to move back in with my dad. He has a pen with a rooster and hens, and then a separate but connected pen for a pair of game chickens...

I have about 70 chickens. They all stopped laying. They are 2 years old were laying steadily and the last 4 days in a row I have had 0 eggs. Its so weird. They have their nutrition and food needs met. They have a heat lamp and lights on timers in their house. They have a big coup. They have no...

I have four hens and I believe they all are laying, I got them on Mother’s Day of this year, I noticed this poop this morning under the roost. I have seen poops like this before wondering if there is any answers or if I need to be concerned or not?

Hi there, Does this look like scaly leg mites? I was looking at my rooster's spurs and noticed that his legs don't look quite as smooth as I was expecting. I can't say I noticed them looking really smooth lately, but I was a bit concerned when I saw them. He is about 2 years old and otherwise...

I have a white female runner duck who is about 3 years old. Normally well in herself. She is eating and drinking normally. Has lost no weight. But is unsteady on her feet, staying in her bedding/nest area lot, not really going to her pond much to swim. Her male partner duck is completely fine...

My ducks beaks are peaking n it’s getting worse it seems. Is this normal? I feed them regular duck pellets but they don’t seem interested in eating much anymore. I blame myself because I ran out of food for a month so I had to feed them stuff like lettuce, carrots, rice, etc so they didn’t...

I loooove my chickens, and one is acting weird. It was hot outside, so I brought them into the garage. Then my ayam cemani pullet started acting weird. She sat woth her wings out to her sides a little on the roosting bar, and would close her eyes for a bit, then go into fits of panic, panting...

My little brother recently went to a farm house with my dad. It’s owned by a friend of my dad’s. While there, he saw them killing runt baby chicks. (know it’s runt because he asked why are u kill killing them and they said it’s because the chicks were too small.) My brother originally picked...

I have a late hatcher that had her egg sack still attached for a couple days. It dried up enough that I could snip just enough off and after feeding her and giving her water, I decided to let her rest for the night lastnight. For the past 4 days she’s been super active, always trilling and...

Hello, First of all, thanks for any help. What type of bird, age and weight. She's a buff orpington 12 weeks old, and weighs around 1.5 lbs. Question of FTT due to small size since birth. What is the behavior, exactly. Yesterday afternoon she was behaving normally. I went to bring her into...

Hello! I am new to this site but I have seen many people’s questions get answered so I figured I’d give it a shot. This is my second time hatching eggs in this incubator (Little Giants Incubator) and the temperature DOES NOT stay at the correct temperature. If the set temperature is at 99.5 the...

Hello, I'm new to owning a duck and shes a few weeks away from being 1 year old. She suddenly lost her voice yesterday within about 2-4 hours since my dad gets up around 5-6 a.m. and she was quacking at him then, but after I got up to see her at around 7-8 a.m. she didn't make a sound. She tries...

Hello all, I was hoping to find someone who could help me understand what's going on with my Mallard duck egg, as it has yet to hatch and I noticed it some new changes today. To start off, I had gotten this egg a while ago (about roughly two weeks ago) after finding that my mallards had been...
