That is a beautiful duck house! Very nicely done. Those are some lucky ducks!

Logansmommy - Are feathers missing from other areas of their bodies? Does the rooster have missing feathers too? If it's rooster tracks feathers will be missing from hen's back, head, neck. The back can be completely bald - you can try making chicken saddles for them if that's the case. I'm not...

What kind of antibiotics are you treating them with?

We don't have goats yet, but we do have chickens and dogs. A physical fence not only contains them, but helps keep predators OUT. I would be a little worried about other people's dogs, coyotes, fox, etc. getting goats that aren't fenced. Just a thought.

Hi and ! I think it just takes a while for young chicks to get the idea about roosting. Some of my mamas get their babies up on the roost at 3 - 4 weeks old, but most sleep on the floor with them until they are around 2 months old or so. Before moving them to the coop, I'm sure your chicks...

Woo hoo! Isn't that the best feeling???? Winning over chickens can be an art.... you've done well. Now, before you know it you'll be swatting them away to keep them from picking your moles and freckles ;-) But you'll still love every moment of it. Congrats!!

Too cute! Way to go MingMing!

Silver Gray Dorking - perfect cockerel. Extremely sweet and docile. At about 10 months of age, he became a total jerk. Attacking anyone and anything. BUT he is the perfect guard of the flock. He looks after every single one of them. He even snatched a hawk out of the air that was after a...
