One of my hens (chicken) was super broody so I let her sit on some duck eggs. Yesterday our first little duckling hatched. This is my first time letting one of my girls sit and actually having something hatch out so I’m at a complete loss. She’s in the top left nesting box which is probably 3 ft...

I got my flock up and running last year and we’ve got around 40 hens, 2 turkeys, 10 ducks. I’ve never let anyone hatch anything yet so I’ve got a couple questions! One of my hens is really trying to brood but we don’t have a roo so I gave her some duck eggs to sit on after doing a little...

I managed to get better photos. It didn’t really look or feel like a scab to me more just a dark spot

Noticed my drake limping and realized he had broken his back toenail, not completely broken just looks like he stubbed the pointed part off. Ive never experience bumblefoot but would this be it? If so, what can I do about it?

About 18 wks old. Pullet or cockerel? This is one of our favorite birds! So pretty and it has a great temperament. Is that normal of polish birds? I’ve read elsewhere that polish Roos can be quite aggressive..

TSC had another chick days :celebrate I managed to escape with no chicks but couldn’t resist 2 of each of these. We already have 2 Pekins and 3 Swedish Blacks. I know we’ve got 2 crested but can anyone identify the others for me?!

Somehow one of my turkey poults got its head stuck in some chicken wire. When I went out I found him almost limp. I’ve brought him in and tried to clean him up a bit but what do I do now? I have him inside and he’s just laying here weak and sleeping. :hit

Ok :) I will keep collecting them for now then!

They’re around 20 weeks old and yes first eggs

Thank you everyone! It’s my first year with chickens and ducks so I’m still learning. These were not there last night I know for sure so is it possible she laid them both overnight? We have a drake as well so could she be tryig to lay a clutch and brood them?

The other day I posted about my girls starting to lay. I have a white leghorn who likes to spend hours in the nesting boxes, two New Hampshire reds (I think? Though one is much darker than the other) and an EE all the same age. The first egg I found Saturday was soft so I’m not sure who it came...

Thanks guys! They are not on layer feed because I read it’s not good for our drake to have that much calcium so I put out oyster shell.

Saturday night we got our first egg! I’m not sure which one of the girls it was because it was a soft egg, so I couldn’t really tell the color. I put oyster shells in there for them. Yesterday came and went with no egg. We have a New Hampshire red (I think) and a white leghorn that have been...

Right now they’re almost three weeks old. I’ll probably put them out there in maybe two weeks

Just for a few weeks until they get used to each other and I can put them in the coop with our bigger girls. I was going to put the grow out coop in the same run as the main coop like a see don’t touch type of thing

Ideas/pictures for a grow out pen for 40 chicks?

Thank you guys!! :)

probably a dumb question but wanted to make sure my chicks are safe .. we are under a boil advisory for water and I wanted to make sure that it’s safe for chickens to have purified water

Wanted to drop back in and see if everyone still thinks pullet? She is displaying some cockerel-like signs after we rehomed our other cockerels and I’m wondering if maybe she’s just trying to be top hen or if she is a he

Oh my gosh. going to their website and looking at that never even crossed my mind lol! Thank you! :celebrate
