My year plus old hen is normally fine but yesterday began showing signs of being egg bound. I cleared her vent, gave her a 5 minute warm soak. The held her on my lap wrapped in a towel for another 30'minutes. I put her in her nesting box & she this morning there was a soft shelled egg in the...
I had an Old English bantam hen. She was so sweet and only 6 months old or so. She kept flying out of the yard area... She was laying her eggs up by our house instead of the coop. It took me a while to figure out what she was doing. She'd wander around the property and head back to the coop...
I hear all these great stories about Chicken's putting themselves to bed... My chickens? No. They fly on top of the coop (probably 3 1/2 feet off the ground) and roost up on the roof. I have to pick them up and put them inside. I know when the hop up there they are ready to go to bed. But...
We're in the central Ohio area. Will bring them to you or whichever is convenient. Beautiful Drakes that need to be re-homed. Preferably to a home that has other ducks, but not necessary. Please contact me for any more information. I will update as well.
I have a six foot fence around our chicken yard... I have an Old English game bantam & she can fly like the wind. :) She flies over the fence and then gets attacked by the ducks. I'm trying to find a home for our drakes, but until then I'm thinking of clipping her wings.
I've been reading up...
So not doing enough research I bought this coop. These are pictures from a few months ago when we purchased it. Since we've moved the girls to a large yard area and the coop sits within that. As the girls have started to lay I realized that I need to change their roosts b/c they are sleeping...
So this evening when I was in the chicken yard I noticed one of the girls acting funny. She was being really still, didn't come over to greet me and no noises. My girls usually run to greet me and let me give them pets and love:) But Lela didn't come and stayed away. After a few minutes I...
I have 3 PR hens and a OE bantam hen. They were all purchased together & get along great! Sweet chickens! But I'm thinking of getting one more or two more. I'm thinking a EE or another PR. But I'm wondering about adding to my flock. Should I find an adolescent hen to intro or would a chick be...
Our chicks and ducklings were purchased together. I kept them together for a very long time until the ducks got too big to be in the same area. The ducks are Pekin and seem to both be drakes. (unfortunately). Now all are about 4 months old. The chickens have a yard and the ducks are free...
