Ok I never know how to start threads off:idunno so I'm just going to just jump into my question. How would I start clicker training? I have a 13 1/2 week old Belgian D'anvers pullet, she's very friendly and runs over whenever I come to the coop. I would like to try to clicker train her, I've...

Well I don't know how to start this... But my free range layer flock has been attacked, coyotes took 7/13 of our hens, including Mazie a hen who's head was nearly ripped off by a mink and she couldn't lift her head but she looked better and better, she survived. Mazie was a very special hen and...

Hi everyone! I'm going to be building a coop for my 6 Belgian D'anvers! They're currently in extra large dog crates in the garage because we've had a few cases on AI around us so we're not letting our birds out, just in case. But there hasn't been a reported case since the beginning of December...

I have a 7 month old Belgian D'anvers cockerel that I've had for about a month. He is healthy, just he acts a bit odd. He has poor judgment when he pecks at food and he falls on his face regularly or into the water dish. He's eating, drinking, pooping and attacking normally he's just really...

Hi everyone! I thought it would be a fun idea to play guess the breed! Here's how to play: Someone posts a picture of a purebred (or common crossbreed) chicken and then the next person has to guess the breed! But if you get it wrong then someone else can say what it is. Ex: Someone posts a...

Hi all! I am setting up a new pen made of wooden crates that are '11"3 long, '4"3 tall and '4 high. I am attaching a hen house from a past coop and it needs a major cleaning and disinfecting. Does anyone know any chicken safe easy to make cleaner recipes?

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!! I have very exciting news! I got 6 Belgian D'anvers!!! 2 roosters and 4 hens! My parents sent me on a scavenger hunt thing to find them. She said she had been keeping them in the neighbours barn for a whole month! The females do have male coloring...

I'm looking into acquiring some Belgian d'anvers in the spring but before I decide that I for sure want then I want to know every thing about them. The good, the bad and the ugly (if there is anything ugly about them) please don't sugar coat anything. I want to make sure that I am well suited to...
