    What’s wrong with my ducks foot?

    Good morning, does anyone know what is going on with my duck’s toe? She doesn’t bumblefoot but her toe suddenly swelled up a few days ago. I tried feeling it to see if it was broken, but it seems like she can bend her toe ok, but she flinches when I touch it. I’m not sure what happened. Any...

    Trying to figure out duck breed..

    My sweet ducks were purchased last spring from the Cayuga duck bin at a local Tractor Supply. I know that ducks can be pet quality etc. But I have a feeling my male is not full Cayuga. I mean, maybe? These are my first ducks! I am hatching there ducklings are black, black footed (so far), and...

    Hen passing on, need help

    To give context, this morning all the hens and roosters were perfectly fine (as far as I could tell) and I hadn't noticed anything up until today either (I check them over daily). However, I went out this afternoon to find one of my broody hens laying on the floor of the coop. I didn't think to...

    Hen is Behaving Strange

    My hen, last night, started to walk very low to the ground, different from her usual crouch. She also has her wings lightly agape. When I, or her favorite person, my dad, calls her, she doesn't respond. She hasn't even been responding to the chirps of our rooster, and usually she'll sprint to...

    Well…what is he/she?

    Hen or Roo? I feel like this is an obvious rooster but I’d like others opinions. It’s my silkie hens first and only surprise hatched baby, named Sola, meaning only in Latin! I can’t keep if it’s a roo, so hoping someone with better knowledge than me can tell me it’s a hen 😂

    6 weeks later

    6 weeks ago I took her out of the run. Since then she’s been getting a constant diet of meal worms, oats, the occasional egg and other scraps. She’s definitely been spoiled. I’m here to ask your thoughts though on when she can move from a dog crate in my basement back to her nice big run/coop...
