I'll be picking up some chicks that have just started to lay. They do have a boyfriend, do you think their eggs could be fertile? When does a drake and a cockerel stop firring blanks (so to speak). I'd like it if they could lay a few eggs that I could incubate!
Poor things! How would you feel if you had to put that on your butt! lol How long did it last! I can't stop laughing just thinking about it. I will be having some girls so I suppose I'll find out the hard way!
Seeing that she's getting them out of her pond I'm assuming they'll be making there own too! Cuz out at the pond there getting eaten right up so that's why she's giving the other 2 girls to me.
I've had some boys, I was hoping for a girl and all they did was poop in the nesting box. Did I make it wrong? Or do the hens do that in their boxes also! My chickens don't do that, the reason I'm asking is because I'm getting 2 girls and I want to make it right for them.
How do you clean it? I wanted to but I find my guys like to bring a bucket of mud in w/ them when they swim! lol Especially the water bucket. I can no longer pick up their pool and drain it as I could before I hit 50's. The back and hips no longer keep up w/ me! So now I've found this to be...
I've had a lot of catching up to do but it was very good reading! I don't agree w/ one poster who was very offensive in his posting. We were given words and we should use them wisely!
If there is anyone in my area (in the northern part only) who had a female(s) I would I would love to have em!
I'm not sure, I do know not to give them the medicated one and to make sure their feed is for ducks or you will need to get some niacin for their legs.
I have 2 Cochin's that were purchased from a BYC member who states that they were laying. One was 3-5 per week the other 5pw. It's been since June 4 and they still have not laid and egg. They were born 5/12 so they are of age. Could what you are saying about the chicken's be the same for...

Hi, pm countrygirl74 or 76 she's really good at what to do. Are you using mothers apple cider vinegar? not just the regular, I did that before I came on here! Also it's added to the fermented feed. Is that what you are doing with the yogurt? Also, check the forum/other animals /...
Hi, Let them meet w/ you being there of coarse. One you find out you have a male you need to take him away from the flock cuz his ahem will do serious damage to a hen. Pool, you'll need to change the water every few days, some do it everyday as they poop all the time in it! lol You might need...
You said a mouthful there! My boys HAD moved out, now their back! Can you tell! One just hates my chickens so he got me 2 ducks from TSC and you can bet, they were boys. I've talked to a lot of people who got the same deal, you?
