duck and chicken

2 days ago my rouen started acting weird, it stopped being loud and it would gag. Now, it's starting to have seizure like movements, like falling down and then act like nothing happened seconds after. I read that it is possible that a duck does that when they have something stuck in their throat...

This happened a few minutes ago, after letting them swim for a while it seemed too cold so I tried taking them back to the crate where I keep them. She suddenly started running and tripped, thankfully the floor didn't touch the neck but she fell on one of her paws. There's no blood, twists or...

I got him/her (the one in question, which I hope is a male) and a female khaki Campbell a few weeks ago from a popular breeder in my area. They were at least 1 week old when I bought them, and my guess is that they are about four weeks at the moment. He/her quacks harshly when separated from the...

So I had my duck sit on Call Eggs and in the last week a broody hen joined the fun and started sitting. Today they hatched out and the ducklings are half under the hen and half under the duck. The duck is protective of both lots, as they are spending time under both of them. I am planning on...

We've got (or had) 5 hens housed with 3 ducks. A couple of our hens have had chronic dirty vents and some diarrhea. They're housed in a huge outdoor pen (with coop inside) so it's not easy to tell who is laying or what poo looks like in great detail, but it's clear that 2 of them had diarrhea...

Hi BYC! I have a flock of 19 hens and 2ducks right now and im saving 3 more this week (man lost 4 to the cold so i am taking his last 3 before they literally freeze to death) (going into quarantine tomorrow). One thing is my coop is only about 9'x10', theres is perfect room for the flock i have...

Hello BYCM, I have four Plymouth Barred Rock hens approximately 10 months old, the days are short now and they seem to have all stopped laying. I believe I have a egg eating problem as well, my numbers were all over the place, 4,3,2,1,3,0...then one every other day...now nothing. If they did...

What breed of duck is this?

Hi, I purchased the Janoel 12 Incubator to use to hatch out some of my chicken eggs and my Pekin duck eggs. I tried to read the manual, looks like I need a NASA engineer degree to understand it!!!!! This will be my first time using an incubator and I would hate to lose any chicks or ducks over...

I set chicken eggs last week that are on day 6 or 7 today. Then my friend surprised me and brought me some fertilized duck eggs today. I'd really love to add them too since I'm doing this in my kindergarten classroom, and it would be so fun for them to see chicks and ducklings! But I know if I...

Hi all, Your neigbourhood noob looking for yet more advice. I've three chickens (two cream legbar, one sussex) and two khaki campbell ducks, nearly one year old. Until the last couple of week everything has been harmonious, they've about 2/3 of an acre to buck/quack about it so there's no...

I really don’t know what to think. I am really confused on what this is.. we have 8 duck eggs in the incubator and 6 or 7 of them have weird spots in them(some look different than others) they move as the embryo does. We are currently on day 19 and will attach images. I’d you’ve ever incubated...

I am taking care of a Peking duck for my daughter because her Drake was mounting her every day and has sores no feathers on her neck. Anyway you get the picture, she needed to heal. Here's my question. I have 2 grown ducks both hens, small compared to her, the Peking follows them around and they...

Hi everyone! I have been a member for a while, but I am in need of some help! We have a flock of 7 chickens (adding more in the spring) and a pair of female Rouen ducks. They are all going to be a year old this spring and are all in the same large coop. The coop is about 10ft by 10ft with a...

I've been losing chicken after chicken in the past few weeks I went from 7 chickens to 3 in about 5weeks. They're all americanas, and all being pecked mainly their butts. One had an egg stuck, but the other 3 just died suddenly. I also noticed that the 3 that died their vents were opened. I...

We have 8 chickens, 4 female ducks and 3 male ducks with only about 3 mo difference in age. They all like to sleep in the same coop with the ducks on the bottom. We found the 2 bigger eggs in the bottom, one with a duck feather on it. They are both about the same size and color but the shape...

I have a chicken coop that's 4 feet off the ground. The ducks have their own house. But I have one very persistent duck that keeps getting into the coop and smashing and eating eggs. I've clipped their wings, and changed the solid ramp to a sloping ladder affair with spaces between the rungs. So...

Hello, how much should I feed an adult male khaki campbell duck? I feed him pellets/feeds 3x a day with four teaspoons per serving. How much is enough? I don’t have a gram scale or measuring cup so you might want to measure by scoops. Thanks
