When I opened the coop this morning one of our new hens was on her back on the floor dead. She was perfectly fine last night as we do a head count and check them all before locking the coop for the night. Everyone else seems fine, and I don't see any visible injuries, although the ladder to the...

I recently got 2 miniature donkeys. A 7 month old jack, who will be gelded as soon as he drops, and a 4 year old Jenny. My Jenny is in heat and I caught my little guy trying to mount her. He's quite a bit smaller, so I don't think he can reach, but she stood still for him. What are the chances...

I was wondering about that myself, as I have been putting hay in the nesting boxes, seeings how I get round bales for the horses and donkeys. And I've noticed the nesting boxes keep being empty of hay every couple days. As I'm new to chickens it surprised me. I also see my ducks eating the hay.

I have two mini donkeys, one is only 7 months old, and will be getting two Nigerian dwarfs at the end of the month. I would like them to be able to pasture together. Both donks were with other goats when I got them, so I'm praying they get along. I will keep them apart with a fence between them...

She just started laying Saturday. So I don't think she's old enough to go broody. Last time I checked on her she started putting hay on herself like she was trying to hide.. Silly girl

Yesterday my mini donkeys invaded the coop and ate the hay from the nesting boxes. So first thing this morning I put more hay in. The one chicken who is laying jumped right in and has been there for 2 hours now. Does it take that long to lay an egg? And yes I'm a newbie. Lol

In central Texas here, and new as well.

My name is Tonya, and we got our first three hens about a week ago. We planned on getting some when spring sprung, but we had a stray rooster show up and he was lonely. So hubby got 3 rir from his buddy. And they are quickly becoming a favorite past time. We got our first egg yesterday, and...
