Help! I have an egg that piped last night at around eight since the initial pip it hasn't made any progress. It's still peeping and moving but I'm just worried since it has been over twelve hours. Any advice?

Hi here is my first duck egg! Yay! I have a couple of questions🥚: 1. Any idea on breed (I will try to get better pictures!) 2. Any hatching tips you may have. I have hatched chickens many times and a duck once but I hope to do a larger hatch in March 🐣 🦆

My broody hen had six chicks, she crushed one and is pecking the others but only in the nesting box. When you take her out she is fine and she takes care of them. I separated her from the flock and the nesting box and so far she is taking care of them. What do I do? This has never happened to me...

I was told that my Duck Gertrude, is a Cayuga (that's what the lady I bought it from said). However I don't think that's the case. I'm thinking maybe a Khaki Campbell? But I'm new to ducks, so what do you guys think?

Two questions; 1. Breed? 2. Gender Info: The first duck is Fifi, 3 weeks old (I know that's a bit young for age but any guesses?), I'm thinking boy. The second duck is Gertrude, 4 weeks old, I'm thinking Khaki Campbell, and girl. Thanks for your opinions!!! 😊 I will add a file of the ducks voice...

Hi, so I recently went on a camping trip. While I was gone I had no one to watch my chickens so I just left them with plenty of food and water. I also kept the small dore to the run open so they had acess to the run. (I was only gone for 3 days) when I came back I found a pile of bones in the...

So I have been thinking about getting some bantam cochin hens for a little while now. I live in an area where it gets really cold in the winter (anywhere from the twenties to below 0, and in the 30s on the warmest days) and I heard this breed is one of the few bantams that does well in the cold...

Several weeks ago I had a chicken and guinea hen go missing. They were obviously killed by somthing there was feathers everywhere. I originally thought it was a fox. Since there was no bodies and a large trail of feathers. But then the killing stopped. I thought it was safe to let my chickens...

I am getting a potbelly in July, when it's 8 weeks old. And yes he will be my pet. In the past I have had meat pigs. And when I was a kid I had a potbelly pig. I was to young to really remeber what she liked and things like that. So what toys do you recomend? Also I have 2 dogs (both females) 1...

I have a big fox problem. It has already taken a guinea hen and one of my chickens. I also suspect it took my neighbor's missing barn cat. This morning my other neighbor messaged me saying there was a bunch of feathers in her yard. The concerning thing is is that they were right next to her door...

I have 9, 6 week old chicks. 4 Amber links, 5 Barred Rocks. Two of the Amber links have bloody wattles. I haven't seen why this happened and the blood is now dried. Does anyone have any idea why this has happened or any advice on how to prevent this?

I'm looking for some good white layers. What breeds do you suggest? They need to be able to do good in cold and mild weather. Anything is helpful, thanks!

What exactly are Amber links? I got some chicks a few weeks ago (Barred rocks, and Amber links). I read rhe description, and it said that there friendly and good free rangers. I decided to get 5 because I need some good free rangers. Is that information true in your experience? And do you have...
