    Why aren't my hens laying eggs?

    Thank you! I've read online that the average age for them to start laying is 16-18 weeks, but after seeing your reply, I now realize that I misunderstood that information. As for their diet, I'm currently transitioning them from Dumor chick starter/grower to Dumor layer pellets. They also get...

    Why aren't my hens laying eggs?

    Hi! I have 7 hens. One Silver Laced Wyandotte, one Barred Rock, one silkie, one mystery chicken-possibly Americana?, (19 weeks), and 3 Olive Eggers (15 weeks). I know the Olive Eggers and Silkie shouldn't be laying quite yet. But, the other four haven't laid one single egg. I'm not necessarily...

    Keeping a few female call ducks with a flock of chickens?

    I have 6 call ducks and 9 chickens that live together just fine in a 14x8 coop. They have access to 2 different runs, but they usually all hang out together anyway. Like @casportpony said, watch how wet and muddy the coop and runs are.

    My Jumbo Pekin has a leg deformity. Is there any way I can help?

    I have 3 Jumbo Pekin ducks (they are just pets). The duck in question here is Jemima Puddle Duck. In about mid- January of this year, I noticed she was limping, but didn't think much of it. The limp continued for about 3 weeks. Then, we had a coop fire in early February. Thankfully, all of our...

    Question about turkeys flying

    In the past I've owned turkeys, and mine could fly over my 5 foot fence just fine. But, they might actually be scared of the hardware cloth if it's unstable. If you want to try it, let them in that area and watch them to see if they make an attempt to escape.

    Straw or wood shavings for run?

    Depending on where you're located and what the weather is like, I would advise against using sand. It gets super wet and doesn't help the mud situation. Instead, I would go with wood chips.

    Looking at getting ducks!

    This is all good information about ducks. If you can provide proper care, I would 100% reccomend getting ducks. They have so much personality and mine have brought me so much joy 😀

    Where to get Call ducks (in Michigan)?

    Hi! I'm doing research for my spring flock, and I'm having trouble finding a good place to buy call ducks. Does anyone know of any good hatcheries or breeders? Either one in Michigan where I can go pick them up, or one anywhere where I can have them shipped to me. Thanks!
