Question for ya'll...do hens usually do this? My black silkie, Poppy, was broody January into February so I got her three chicks to adopt. She has been an amazing little mama. Well my white silkie, Cleo, was broody February into March but I couldn't get more chicks so I just waited it out. I...

My chickens keep sleeping in the nesting boxes and I'm not sure how to get them to stop. My coop is about 8'x8' and I have 18 chickens. Four silkies, one cochin bantam, and the rest are regular sized. Half sleep on the roost bar but the rest are in my nest boxes which are full of poop now! We...

I have a two Barred Rocks they're over four months old now. One is definitely a hen but this other one I can't tell! It's comb is much bigger but I don't feel like its feathers are that much longer and it hasn't crowed but that might be because I have another Roo that is more dominant or...

I have two female ducks that are about 12 weeks old. I would love to keep them but one of them starts quacking really loudly at 5:30 in the morning and I'm sure my neighbors are not loving it. They have been well taken care of and loved. Let me know if you're interested. Thanks!

I had to rehome two Roosters last year. I got three more chicks back in March and I'm nervous that we accidentally got ourselves another Rooster.

I will be introducing three, six week old chicks to my flock of four, nine month old hens. This is my set up right now. My hens so far seem really unphased by the chicks presence in the coop. I haven't seen any aggressive behavior or pecking from my hens at all. Does this mean that when the...

I am new to ducks. I have two khaki campbells that are about 4 weeks old now. I keep noticing that one of them has really quivery legs. Not all the time, and it seems to walk fine. When it is just standing though it's legs shake really bad. The other duckling doesn't seem to have this...

I just got two Khaki Campbell ducklings for my birthday. Can ducks live in a coop like this? I've mostly been researching baby duck care and haven't quite ventured into permanant living situations but this coop is selling for a really good deal but I wasn't sure. Any input would be greatly...

I have 3 chicks that are almost three weeks old. If they are inside, where the temperature is kept between 68-70 how long do they need the heat lamp?

This is my first time owning chickens (although they are just chicks right now). They are all almost 3 weeks old and I noticed that my baby Polish's wing is bleeding a little bit. I checked it out and it doesn't seem very serious. It looks like it's just bleeding where the feather like...

This may be a dumb question but this is my first time trying to hatch eggs and I'm totally nervous! I have a Brinsea Mini Eco and I plugged it in and have let it stabilize but the temp on the thermometer was well past the 100 mark. I thought it was factory set but I turned the temp control...

Hi! Brand new here. Started diving into my chicken research this week. We will be building a coop here in the next few weeks once I feel more knowledgable and ready. I'm curious what the best hen breeds are for a first timer. I live in Western Washington so the heat here is pretty mild...
