They lived to be four weeks though so I’m not sure why they died all of a sudden after that

I use sand and so far I love it! Cost efficent, dust bath friendly, and easy to clean! I am a bit worried about our northern winters here since it's cold but I will probably just add a bundle of straw in one corner for them to burrow in if they get cold

Help :( I don't know what I am doing wrong! This past June I brought home two baby ducks. They were kept in an oversized rubbermaid tote with fine pine shavings food and a bowl of water(so they could dip their bills) With the temp being around 75 in the room they were in I did not give them a...

We are getting a new Donkey, my chickens are already established here. The stall for the donkey is built off the back of our giant chicken coop. Do you think they will be okay co existing in the fame fenced area? Will the donkey protect or stomp them??

I didn’t end up washing them just letting them play in a shallow dish of water, hopefully it helps

I know it sounds overly paranoid I'm just worried about bacteria and handling them now

I haven't had any mold issues yet, I am keeping my eye on it though thanks for the heads up

Hello Guys, Today I received a shipment of meat chickens and ducks. One of the baby chicks was dead and essentially stomped flat. The smell was horrific and some of the chicks have what appears to be blood on them :hit Can I wash them?

I still can’t tell I saw one pecking at it today but I don’t think she took a drink

I have feed in the coop all day, I notice since they are essentially full free range they just scavenge most the day and eat either right before they go to bed or when they first wake up. During the day they mostly eat grass and bugs

They sell heating rock/pad things I plan to place one under the base of my drum

Noticed you were in the UP as well! Neat to see another yooper ☺️
