I am looking for opinions on a breed of duck. I had 1 khaki that lived with my chickens. She was always scared of us. Something had gotten into my coop and killed her a a chicken. I would now like to get 2 females. However, I can’t decide which breed. I want friendly and more of a quiet breed...

I have a friend that lives in Ohio for the summer and Florida in the winter. Her house in Ohio is on an island and she would like to get some ducks of her own. Her questions are what breed would be best? She would like if the would fly away for the winter and come back since she is gone during...

Does it stay in one spot or do you move around? I don’t have a lot of yard space left so I would like mine to stay in one spot.

Is it big enough for you to walk in or just open to get eggs? Any problem with smell on the ground? I have chickens also, and they don’t smell unless their poo gets wet.

I hatched 23 quail 3 weeks ago. I didn’t expect to have such a great hatch! I was going to use a rabbit hutch originally with deep litter method. It’s off the ground with plastic flooring. However, I need something bigger. So my question is what is the best housing? Some thing on the ground or...

I hatched 23 quail 3 weeks ago. I didn’t expect to have such a great hatch! I was going to use a rabbit hutch originally with deep litter method. About 2ft x 4ft. It’s off the ground with plastic flooring. However, I need something bigger. So my question is what is the best housing? Some thing...

1 quail hatched out of my first batch ever. I feel so bad for it. I’ve been searching locally for hopefully 1 more around its age. We hold it as much as we can but it cries a lot. Right now we have a stuffed animal in the brooder and I’ll be getting a mirror today. Another batch of eggs are on...

Ok great! I actually looks much better already. It is moving all over the place and just a tiny string is left hanging on.

This is my first hatch with quail. Yesterday morning on day 15 the first one pipped. By today it had not gotten much farther. After reading I decided to help a little and put it back. (Maybe I shouldn’t have). It has now gotten out of the egg but still attached to the umbilical cord and...

Thank you! I agree! It will be even prettier with the Americauna colors :)

My girls are all almost laying finally! :) I have an Isa Brown, 2 sapphire gems, golden comet, light Brahma, buff orphington, and 2 americana (which I don’t think are laying yet). We are trying to figure out who is laying what. Someone starting laying this large dark brown egg and we are...

Awesome! Just some bossy ones 😂

These chicks are about 3 months old. I have questioned their sex from the beginning. They are supposed to be pullets, but act like Roos. Especially the darker one. They are supposedly Americaunas.

Thank you all! Lots to think about! With the ones for meat, you don’t let them free range as I would my others correct? My chickens now get let out during the day for several hours to free range in the back yard and then back to the coop. They have a good size run connected to the coop also.

I’ve raised chickens for pets and eggs for a few years now. I’m really thinking about raising more for meat. Please give me some good info on the best kind and way to do this! I want tender flavorful chicken. Is it worth it?

Here are some pictures hopefully a little better to see. Chick A is suppose to be a golden comet or is a brown. (I have bought 1 of each and can’t tell them apart). Chick B is supposed to be a sapphire gem. The last pictures are of 2 supposed Ameraucana. One is lighter and one is darker. They...

Yes. I will get better pics tomorrow. They are almost 5 weeks.

I picked up some chicks at a farm store. I bought all pullets. However, with the way a few are acting I’m beginning to wonder. Can someone help me confirm? These are both supposed to be EE. I will get more pics of the others and post.

I’m actually thinking this is not a Cayuga! I think they sold me the wrong kind.
