    I have two very pretty white ducks and they are almost perfectly white except for their heads and their stained undersides. I was wondering if there is any way to clean them off.

    Do Chickens Like to Get Into Water?

    I have a container that is low to the ground for my chicken to drink from. I have never seen her do it, but it looks like she may actually get into the container from time to time. I say that because there is constantly a lot of dirt and sand in the bottom of the container, and it's not in a...

    Washing hens "hair"

    Hi, This is not an emergency really so I hope it's ok to post in this section. I was not sure which section would be most appropriate. I have an elderly Appenzeller hen imaginatively named "Dot". She has a considerable crest, like a fancy hat, on their head. Dot has often struggled to keep...

    Tips on how to bathe a chicken

    I know, I should have asked this earlier but, today is one of my chickens first shows, and I have no idea how to bathe her. We have had a lot of rain recently so you can imagine how desperately she needs a bath. Can someone give me some pointers?

    Bougie Indoor Runner!

    OK, this is gonna be a lot, sorry in advance. So I've had multiple sets of runner ducks, usually m/f pairs. This time I went with just a single female. She's about 4 months old, and so far NOT like my other ducks. 1. She HATES no LOATHES to be outside. If I put her out, she quacks at the door...

    Newbie Intro

    Hi! My name is Tanis. I’m new at raising chickens. I live in Central Oregon. We have 26 week old layers and we just got 32 recalls silkies one bath, one blue, and black. The two recalls have been a bit of a challenge. The blue doesn’t seem like she’s doing very well. I’m not sure if it’s just...

    Call duck swimming hole :)

    Our family just adopted 3 call ducklings (in addition to 4 chicks) and will be working on building their respective coops over the next 2-3 weeks.
