Has anone done raised beds around their coop? did it work well and keep the chickens from munching on everything? I really like the way they look and was thinking about doing it but thought i should ask & see how its worked for other people first. Thanks everyone.

I am thinking of keeping the BA and SLW hens i have but i'm not positive on it yet. It's their first year and i know i've got some slackers in the coop. If anyone has any experience with how good of layers these breeds are it would be much appreciated..I know my others are laying faithfully now...

I went to the feed store this afternoon to by chicken feed and the owner let me get 8 call duck eggs out of their pen while i was there...for free! They boys were iridescent black/green and the female was grey maybe, she looked a little funky. My Problem: I've only incubated duck eggs once...

I got some adorable new babies! I was wondering what colors you think some of the oddballs might turn out to be or look like. maybe you had a baby that looked like mine? There's 2 of these little yellow/blueish guys, I also have 2 blue with chocolate on their heads (the ones in the...

Hey everyone, was just kinda wondering if there were any other moscovy keepers or breeders in washington. I got mine locally but recently lost a few and was thinking of checking some others out. I get my new drake after the 1st! I can't wait . Anyone have any with more mask? I think min are...

the ducks have never really been fond of sleeping in a building like the chickens do. I went outside this morning & found LuLu, our chocolate muscovy hen, with a frozen tail. She's always been the dumb one in the bunch. she was the only one up with the chickens this morning when i went out...

We have quite a few ducks that need to find new homes. most of them are females but 1 chocolate/blue runner(Paco). They keep getting into the neighbors property & are being HUGE pain in the butt. Theyre all very friendly, fine with the chickens, dogs, cows, horses, cats...EVERYTHING... they all...

this is Puffin, I'm pretty sure its a she, but I'm not sure if shes a bantam or giant. any guesses? I'm not sure what the differences are besides size. She's still pretty young, im guessing a few months. She's a Blue Cochin.

I lost a bird a while back to a large predator bird. I got a quick look at it when it dropped the hen & landed on our old tractor about 20ft from me. I probably should have posted this sooner but I remember it being ver dark, almost black with some long, line looking whitish feathers down its...
