I did a search and didn't see anything under this topic. I have 2 ducklings around 4 weeks old got them at a feed store. I also have 5 chickens in the same yard, the ducks are in a smaller pen where the chicks can't get to them. I had one of my chicks poop beside me today and it has several...

I had 2 yesterday one the yolk was laying on the roost floor. Strange thing is when they lay the soft ones they lay them in the roost not the nest boxes. I have had 4 good ones so I know they all have laid hard shells, I don't know who is laying the soft ones, my bet is its the 2 who just...

I got up at 6 this a.m. and found 2 eggs! woohoo. One was very soft and squishy the other was harder but with very little effort I was able to dent it. I am pretty sure that these were from the 2 hens that haven't laid yet. The other 2 have had hard eggs and don't lay before 6a.m.! One was...

I have been giving my girls OS and crushed egg shells but they are not eating it. Should I worry? the 2 eggs so far have had good shells.. I throw out some BOSS every couple of days, they are on layer, I give them tuna or salmon in the mornings, they don't eat worms, slugs, flies, but have...

I was thinking about putting a boiled egg in the nest box but I'm not sure if they would eat it. Also their nest box is in the top of the coop so they have to go up the ladder to it, I wonder if I should put one in the run. RIR's, I have had them for a month now, all combs are red, age is...

I was giving them some today, they were going crazy over it, and my b/f said it might swell in their stomachs? is it ok? they are about 5 months old. I finally have them eating out of my hand, raisins did the trick now they come running when they see me.

I think this would go here. I have several cans of AvoDerm canned dog food it is a natural food and it's a vegetarian formula. My dog doesn't want it - picky little thing - and I was wondering if I could put it in my worm bin. If not how about the compost box?? or the chickens?

Hi, we now the parents of 4 RIR hens about 4-5 months old. We have a coop that we move around the fenced in yard, is there something safe I can put down on the ground to neutralize the smell once we move them to another spot? The yard is not real big but it also houses our 3 raised gardens...
