Caution the support at BYC can lead to chicken math. This announcement has no scientific basis. But boy do we have fun!

I agree with runner duck.

If your shoes are extremely messy you can wash them. A litter pan with light bleach water (where birds can't get it) is a good plan by back door. Water n bleach just deep enough to rinse shoes off. Other than that hand wash n no kissing birds.

I just hatched this baby. Can anyone tell me whar color/ sex it is? I am thinking saddleback female but not sure. Dad is either a grey sebbie or pure white. Mom is pure white. No clue as to color in backlines of white parents.

Sorry for your loss. Here's my duck hatch. Please note, I cheated and used momma duck as a bator (smiles)

Gorgeous Birds! I hatched my first ELO ( English Lavender Orpingtons) Wednesday I had 4 to hatch but only one has made it so far. Where can I order some ELO? I love them and while i have the American Lavendar Orpingtons I adore the English. I do plan on keeping the strains separate and true...

Are you sure of age? I have some about that size that are 4-6 weeks old. How do you keep it in the pool brooder? I have a tall tote and mine get out at that size/age just from flitting around and using waterer. I would run with brown leg horn as I think they grow a bit faster due to being dual...

Ok I have (almost) survived my first hatching. I have 13 seemingly healthy chicks. The last one to hatch was a Light Brahma early this morning. I have about the same number of eggs in my bator left. How long do I leave them and can I "peek"? They rested as of Thursday March 30th. My silkie...

I have had my first successful hatch yesterday! Some April Fool's! At this point I have 2 light brahma, 3 silver laced wyandottes, and 2 barred rocks (or maybe those numbers are mixed up as I can't tell them apart thru window???). Anyways, I have 7 out with another few zipping right along. Just...

I put my younger or new ducks in cages beside the older ones. After a few weeks I let one group out to free range while the other stays penned. I'm slow to integrate them but I start by letting them forage together, put everyone back in their respective coops, then when everyone is friends I put...

Add me to the list please. I'm in Oconee, Ga (Washington County near Sandersville )

I have 3 Delawares. They are young ( not quite laying age 4-5 months) but growing and fairly friendly. Keeping in mind my sister got them for me and they were not handled or messed with a lot. I think they are fairly friendly and other than the typical fluffing and play they do not seem to be...

I just moved to Bristol, VA (Lee county) and wonder where do I find out if I can have a backyard flock?
