I bought the Pekin ducks from tractor supply as chicks. The older they’re getting the more two of them look different. The larger one (he was older the day I bought them) is white with a yellow bill. The other two look more brownish and their bill isn’t yellow like his. I feed all the the same...
Ok good people, please come to the rescue once again. I need to know what kind of bantam this is. The light is coming from a brooder lamp so please excuse but he/she is mainly black and yellow, from tractor supply.
I recently hatched 12 eggs and they came from: rooster (buff Orpington and Plymouth based rock)..hen (buff Orpington, barred rock, golden comet). I have two that are almost white. Not blonde but white. Which breed would have caused this? Just asking out of curiosity, trying to learn as much as...
yes it has feathered feet. I was hoping it was a Mille Fleur. I had three that were awesome, little Michael Jordans, but unfortunately got taken out during the Hawk scourge of ‘23.
It came from tractor supply straight run, multiple breeds in one tub. It’s very docile and somewhat of a loner…If that helps. I realize it’s under the brooder lamp light so it may be a little difficult to see the real colors. Thanks.
Raccoons, hawks, that kind of thing. They’re about 9 months old. I’ve lost chickens before while they’ve been out free ranging but never 3 in one day. And it’s been a few months since I’ve lost one
I have 3 that are basically inseparable. All 3 have gone missing in the past 2 days. If one has become broody and nesting privately somewhere is it possible that the other 2 would hang around as well? I know it’s possible that all 3 fell to predation but on the same day I think would be...
I have a young cockerel that has roosted with his brothers, sisters and mama since they were old enough to get on the roost (along with his aunts and papa). The past few nights I’ve noticed he’s bunked up in the other coop with the other flock and he’s sleeping on the ground. The first night I...
So I’ve noticed one of my hens will sit down and the rooster will stand over her/beside her. It’s in different locations. He’s not mating her, he’s not even necessarily standing in the same direction. Is he just providing her some shade? The last time she was in a corner (where my porch and wall...
I’ve got a broody BO (she’s only been laying since January and I read that’s rare to be broody so young)…anyway… She’s in one of the nest boxes I built which is about 10”-12” off the ground. My question is: once/if she hatches eggs, is that too high for her little ones to follow her out once she...
My Buff Rooster is aggressive towards anyone that’s not me. My dad has had to kick him before. He’s very protective of his 6 hens and that’s his job. But I wish he would get used to the family.
