    What breed is this chick?

    Hi! I recently got this chick and was wondering if anyone knew the breed that she is. We do know that she is a pullet but the breed was not confirmed. I’ll attach some pictures and she’s almost 2 weeks old.

    Buying ducks in the winter?

    Hi! I’m hoping to be buying ducks very soon and I’m hoping for them to be laying in summer! But, is it unsafe for me to buy them this time of year? They will be in a brooder in my basement for the first 9ish weeks and then they will move outside. My main concern is that it will be too cold in...

    Information on niacin

    Hi! I am doing research on ducks (hoping to get some soon) and want to be prepared. I’ve heard that they need niacin when they are little and continue to need it for the rest of their life.

    Chickens laying at 17 weeks, done growing?

    I have 6 chickens that are 17 weeks old and they just started laying. They are still so small and in my experience with my other hens, once they lay their first few eggs they are about done growing. Is this the case with these next few? I’m worried that they will stay this small and they only...

    Maybe add a mirror (my girls love theirs), more roosting bars, some sticks or small logs, and a swing.

    Leghorn chicken laying at 3 months!!

    Ok good to know! I don’t think so, we got her with another leghorn, silver laced wyandotte, black sex link, and 2 Rhode Island reds in August at tractor supply. They were only a few days old when we got them. We also have 3 buff orpingtons and two black australorps who are 7 months old. Thank you!<3

    Leghorn chicken laying at 3 months!!

    Here is my leghorn chicken, Peep! We got her along with 5 other chicks back in late August. We also have 5 other hens who have been laying for 2 1/2 months. Peep has been squatting and sitting in the nesting boxes for a week or so and I have assumed it’s because she wants to be like her older...

    Chicken with black dots around eyes

    Hi there. I really hope someone can help me. My chicken has these black dots around her eyes and some blood around her neck also (I’ll insert a picture). She is the head of the pecking order so it would be weird, but I guess possible for her to be attacked. She is acting normal and eating and...
