I'm wondering if any more experienced duck folk could tell me what these guys are doing? This is a google drive link to the video (It wouldn't upload it here, sorry) [video link] From my perspective it seems like they're anxious and frantically looking in multiple directions back and forth...

I’ll try to keep this brief! We got our 11 chicks back in august and got 1 rooster and 10 hens, which is exactly what we wanted. I raised them all by hand and they’ve always been very friendly with me. When we transferred them outside anytime I open the door and come out they run to the edge to...

we have five chickens who are ten weeks old, and they are very skitterish. they live outside in the coop, without any other chickens. Once they are picked up they love it. They let you pet them and hold them when they’re on the ground. They are scared of you though, and always run away from you...

About 5 weeks ago I hatched some quail chicks but they all died except for one. Now I just have this one lonely quail. When he was smaller he was calmer but now he jumps around in his brooder box like crazy whenever I come in. I think he's scared of me but he shouldn't be because I've been his...

I had two chicks and one hen and a few days ago one of the chicks was eaten by a raccoon that got into their coup. The two chicks were only together for around two weeks but were always together. The other one is now in a constant state of panic and is constantly crying and does not like being...

Some backstory: I got 3 chicks as day old babies a couple years ago. One passed away last year and another passed 2 days ago. Since I had one sole chicken left, I decided to get 2 new 4 month old hens to keep her company. The new hens had a rough start here… we definitely made some mistakes in...

Hey duck owners We had 3 backyard ducks, all female. Last week, one suddenly died. We are still awaiting the necropsy results. Anyway, over the past few days, the remaining 2 ducks have become TERRIFIED of us. Tonight when I put them to bed, one was literally trembling when I reached in to...

Hello! My 2 new anconas are in their brooder & are terrified of me:-( they are 2 & 3 days old, so I assume they’re just getting used to their new environment but every time I put my hand in the brooder to change the water or anything they peep super loud & run to the other side of the box &...

I found an abandoned duck egg at a pond and took it home to incubate it. By some miracle it was fertilized and my duckling has fully formed and ready to hatch. Yesterday around 4 p.m. it externally pipped. Today around 6 p.m. there was still no progression. Being the first time i’ve ever hatched...

My hen just turned broody and won’t eat. I’m terrified she won’t make the 21 days. What can I do to inspire eating and drinking bare minimum?

My partner and I have been raising our rescue duckling for a little over a month now. He is like our child. Every day has been full of not ever enough love and cuddles for our baby duck to go around. He was entirely attached to us and saw us as his parents. Tonight, just the moment before there...

So I have a 2week-3week ol' quail. Today, I took her for a walk outside. In the middle of her walk, she got ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED of me! Explain, anyone?

Hello! I have a Salmon Favorolle chick that has a strangely messy navel. I can’t tell what it is and want to know how concerned I should be and if I should wash it. I’m going to also be doing research about it, but I would love some help and advice from you guys!!

Three weeks ago I got some baby ducks and chicks from tractor supply and have been doing everything I can to get them to like me but they are scared to death of me. I’ve tried to lure them in with treats but they won’t have it. Anytime I’m near they freak out and run all over the place. I really...

I have a budgie (Apollo) who I've had for about 6 months and he is the most shy bird I have ever known. My birds are free to fly around my room (don't worry its nice and safe for them) but Apollo very very rarely leaves his cage even when his buddy Tiki does. Tiki is the most playful energetic...
