I need to get more chickens, and was thinking of ordering them in Dec/Jan/Feb, so they will be laying age when spring/summer begin. I'd like to get Australorps as day olds. I live in NW Montana, so it's COLD here (well usually - the weather has been odd the last few years). I'm not to worried...

I need advice - I have a female Indian Runner duck (1 yr old) who has a puncture wound. I noticed it because there is blood on her side, even though she is not actively bleeding. The wound is under the wing, and seems to go into the body cavity. I only see one puncture. She has been sitting up...

I got some chicks on Monday (the 5th) and these three were 5 weeks old at that time (the other 3 I got were 4 weeks old). I am wondering if you can tell the sex of them - esp. since my oldest seems to really like the red ones The red ones are supposed to be Araucana: Together (don't worry...
