I'm thinking of getting sucks from tractor supply. I already have 6 hens and a rooster which are seperated. But do ducks eat the same layer as my hens? Any help is appreciated hope I don't sound stupid :)
Question pretty much says it all but i was wanting some guineas to add to my flock. I have 6 hens and one rooster. three hens are in one coop and two and the rooster are in a different pen. My rooster was aggresive toward 2 of my girls so I had to seperate them. Anywho back to the point. I...
I don't want to sound uneducated but I'm just getting used to having my rooster ( I purchased all pullets as chicks and she turned out to be a he) anyway he is about 6-7 months and he has stated to try to crow and the poor thing sounds horse or something like that. I assume this is just part of...
So I have a chicken that was suppose to be a she but is actually a she(o got pullets from the farm store but obviously something went haywire) he's not crowing yet which is one reason I just thought that I had a larger hen on my hands but I've been told that it depends on the rooster on when he...
:( I'm sorry also. It's been sssooo hot here. Is there anyway to prevent them from overheating I guess would be a good tern but other than making sure they have a large and sufficient amount of water is there a way to help them stay cool??
I hope I don't sound insensitive to you loosing...
Thank you!! I will continue to do so I can't afford to buy more feed for him lol.. thank you everyone for your help. I appreciate it. I'm not nearly as confused :)

I have one silver Wyandotte and four reds. The reds are 5 months old. They are starting to lay. It's so hot here in the south now that the heat is bothering them in not laying but not all are laying yet. Three of them are but one isnt. Anyway I have attached a picture of my hen in question. She...
I will get one! Btw the top I'm using is like screen much sturdery than screen but it has holes in it and it is metal, like screen. Sorry I'm bad at explaining. Thank y'all!
I got chicks from TSC yesterday all pullets and they said they were Rhode Island Reds. Right now I have the girls in a 18 gallon aquarium and I have a top on it for their safety. Also I have them under a 250 watt heat lamp. They have plenty of food and water. They seem quite happy walking...
I have a Silver Laced Wyandotte hen and rooster 1 each. I know it's a bad combo but a hawk got my other hen. Anyway iv been wondering, I would like more chickens and I have heard that Wyandottes are great moms.. Just one question.. I'm pretty sure the roosters been doing his thing to my hen...
So one question for all of you chicken professionals on here. The local feed store has a 17% Ratite Grower Maintenance would that be a good thing for my hens and rooster?? I apologize for asking so much, and am fairly new to chickens, and just want healthy birds!
