Any idea on what breed this is? She did have a few black feathers on her hind end but another chicken plucked them out.

My sister in laws chicken when broody so we decided to give her some of my hens fertilized eggs. She has been sitting on them for about 23-24 days.

This Summer we added what we thought was a pullet to keep our one hen company only to find out it was a rooster. I have now found a home for the rooster and am looking into either getting chicks or pullets. What are the best breeds for eggs and to with stand cold winter nights? The hen we have...

I noticed one of our chickens is a little thin. I am suspecting worms maybe? We've had her since May and have never dewormed her. What is the best way to deworm chickens? I've read and heard many things. Is there something you can get a BigR (our feed stores are closed tomorrow) that works good...

We got our pair of ducks back in May. They aren't quite as friendly as we would like. We have to chase them to catch them but once we catch them they are fine. Even when they know I come to feed them they run away. Is there anyway to work with them to get them friendlier?

We got what we thought was a pullet only to discover recently it's a roo. He is doing some crowing but do we need to worry about him crowing more often or louder? How old are they when they start to mate and can actually mate?

What kind of weed killer is safe to use with ducks and chickens?
