Hi, so I just recently moved cross country, and had to rehome my hens. They all got to go to a great home together, and now I'm getting ready to start over. I have a couple questions, though. I moved from Utah suburbs to a semi-rural town in North Carolina. In Utah, the chickens had a coop...

Does anyone know what they are? I can't seem to find a solid answer other than "no livestock allowed if you have less than 10 acres, but chickens aren't defined as livestock". It's possible that I will be moving there, so I'd like to know if I can have chickens or not before a decision is...

So here's the thing. We are at our max number of ducks allowed for in our zoning(sadly only 2 ), but I would like to let our broody Khaki Campbell hatch some ducklings. We would sell them when they were a little older(6-8 weeks old probably), but my question is, do chicks/ducklings count as...

Duck seems to be doing poorly. She can walk and she did run away when I approached her, but she seems a bit wobbly and slow compared to her sister. 1) What type of bird, age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.) 1 year old female duck, not underweight...

So I have two ducks, and I recently got them a 100 gallon rubber trough for them to swim in. I found them in it once the day after I set it up. They had the time of their lives and eventually jumped out, preened and everything. All was going well. But they haven't been in since, and they...

We have two ducks, and we'd like to get them something to swim in that's larger than what they have now, but we're on a budget and the only decent sized things we can find are hundreds of dollars, and most kiddie pools we've looked at wouldn't hold up to duck claws and beaks. Any ideas?

I wasn't quite sure where to put this, feel free to move it if needed. So recently, the possibility has arisen that we may need to move to an area that will only allow us 2 chickens. We have a flock of six. :( We all love these chickens to death, so I have been wondering if it is ever...

So, I have my first broody hen. She is a Blue Laced Red Wyandotte/White Leghorn mix. Yep, she was the "oops" chick of the feed store, apparently. ;) Anyway, she went broody a couple weeks ago. After a week had passed, I started trying to snap her out of it, with little success. So far I...

Hello all! I was wondering if anyone knows if it is legal to keep peahens in Orem, UT? I know that it is legal in UT in general, and it is not legal to keep peacocks but I am unsure about local laws on peahens, I can't seem to find anything in the city code. Thank you!

Hello! We may be moving near Palatine, IL soon, and we would like to move somewhere with very chicken-friendly zoning. Is there any way to figure out the zoning for Inverness and other areas around there, without being a resident? Thanks!

Hello! I am having my ears blown out by my Button quail roo. He lives in a large cage with his button hen mate and a parakeet. (Her mate died and she is a bit less lonely with the quail around.) But he crows NONSTOP! And it's SO loud. A series of about six screeches, every thirty seconds...

So this morning, something killed one of my quail. :( Apparently it pulled it through the bars and took its body, I found blood and *some mysterious organ :sick * stuck to the bars, and a quail head lying on the ground by the cage. No feathers scattered, except on the bars of the cage. We...

Hello all! My question is, will a 5-6 week old hen raise foster chicks? My young hen is caring for her (4?)week old flock buddies, she is the "hen rooster," as I call her, and I was wondering if it would work with younger chicks that actually need a mother? Thanks!

Well, I had a terrible hatch, only 5 out of 24, and only four actually made it. One of my four is almost three weeks old, and I am planning on keeping it due to its problems. And the poor thing has a lot of problems. 1. Stargazes so that is is often tilting its head sideways. 2. Has...

Hi, I have become concerned about one of my coturnix chicks. He/she(have to wait a little longer to tell) has only grown a little bit from when it hatched. It and its 4 siblings are all 2 weeks old. It is developing almost normally, pin and flight feathers coming in, eating, drinking, etc...

Hi, I have some Coturnix eggs on day 17, no action yet, no peeping, wiggling, nothing. My incubator temp was a little low, about 98, for a while. I stopped turrning on day 15. When I candled then the eggs were all alive. Thanks a lot from an anxious newbie!:fl

Hi all, I was wondering if it is possible to find pips in heavily patterned eggs such as Coturnix? I have some Coturnix Quail eggs on day 16() and I am thinking I might be seeing pips but it's hard to tell. Thanks! Gretasflock

Hi everyone, newbie here! My question is, can you feed japanese quail chicken feed? I know about the protein difference, but could you suppliment? I have my first chicks in the brooder right now, and quail eggs ready to hatch. My plan is to keep them together as adults, but I would like them...
