I ended up with 7 baby ducks today. I was supposed to get 3 at first, then it turned into 5. Met the girl in the Tractor Supply parking lot and went in to get some shavings. They had a TON of ducklings still. So I ended up with 2 more because thats the minimum! Oh and I'm not telling dbf about...

The last 4 or 5 mornings there has been 3 banty roos pecking around in the yard. The crowing has been getting closer and closer for weeks now so I dont think this is a new thing. I have 22 chickens including a full grown (huge) Swedish Flower Hen boy. The landlady (who shares the 3 acres were...

I have a POL pullet. She was given to me as a chick and she is now a beautiful little chicken. She's a loner and doesn't fit into my Olive Egger and Swedish Flower Hen pens. She would LOVE to roost high up in tree's if given the chance. If she gets out she's out of the run pecking around by...

So I know the ducks are mallards and the canadian geese, but these 4 swam up and I was curious. There were 4. 3 the same breed, 1 maybe different. They were at the DeSabla reservoir in Desabla(up outside of paradise and magalia, California). There were houses along the resivior, but they could...

I have 5 marans at about 10 weeks old. All hatchmates. 2 black copper pullets, 1 blue copper pullet, and 1 blue copper cockerel. The light blue one I'm not sure about though.. The one boy matured so early and already has the stringy saddle and hackles. The light one is shaped just like the girls...

Pretty excited to see if this works or not. I planted black cherry tomatoes in the green shells and valencia tomatoes in the tan shells. I used a sharp knife to make the first crack in the skinny end of the egg to give the most root space. I also added a little drain hole on the bottom. They're...

You will be hatching 2nd and 3rd generation chicks. These are not back crosses they are OExOE to enhance egg colors. Chicks have been hatching with mostly pea combs with more then 50% dominant white. The girls are laying good and I can usually collect a dozen eggs in 2 or 3 days. I will try to...

I have a mostly blind boy I was trying to find a pet home for because he's soo friendly. I didnt associate his friendliness with hormones though.. OOPS. Lastnight he tried to perch on me from inside his pen and flew at me, then this morning dbf said he wouldn't stop following him around while...

Me and dbf went to Bald Rock. Its only a few miles up the road from us. I took a ton of pictures but picked about 20 to upload. Can you see the rest here? https://www.backyardchickens.com/gallery/album/view/id/6158885/user_id/47583#page=0&sort=display_order I think this is a favorite with...

four legged.. "And don't say a chicken!" He says. Haha how could I not laugh!! Only he was already upset because I told him I ordered him something online today. Spent $11 and $4 for shipping.. Not a big gift.. A wallet actually because his is falling apart, literally. So anyways, he said I...

Let me start by saying I've been trying to read up all I can on them since I set the tank up.I have a newer tank, tank is a few years old but I just got it back from my mom (she somehow managed to kill all her fish after she gave her BF the boot.) I set it up and got a few fish to cycle it...

I'm visiting up at my grandparents ranch this weekend picking up some things to roof my coops. The last month or so they've been having some problems with pigs. Never seen them on the property in the last 30+ years they've lived here. They're tearing up the ground and spooking the horses and the...

Snowball is our newest little one. She's almost 5 months I guess, around there. She's in need of some TLC and is a very shy kitty. She'll come around soon I'm sure. I let DBF get settled in after work lastnight before I told him we got another cat. He was absolutely fine with it and named her...

Followed a trail of feathers that led me to this right above a huge pile of feathers going through the fence and a trickle of feathers after that. Is this a coyote or a bear? I lost 1 of my extra boys (the rest are all in hot wired coops.) I'd LOVE to hear that its a coyote. Unfortunately the...

Okay so I just finished sewing it.. Just to see if it would work and if the chickens would even like it. What do ya guys think?!! Here's my kitten modeling it for you! (lol and the screensaver on my comp with her sister on it in the upper corner!) I think it just turned into a cat house...
