She doesn't seem to be lethargic, she is eating and drinking. She is even still laying eggs! There seems to...

    Moody Chickens

    I have 5 chickens, 1 of them is one week younger than the rest. As I observe them, I have seen some with their feathers on the back of their neck up, chirping in a aggressive tone and fly at each other and sometimes peck at each other. I have a theory that since these chickens are all the...

    Chickens of different age?

    I put a new chicken into the coup that was 1 week younger than the others. it is normal if they peck, but just watch them for a few minutes to make sure it isn't serious. After one day, my little guy was under the wing-literally-of one of the other chickens, sleeping! So don't worry, they will...

    Spend lots of time with them, and you should also get something to entertain them. Like for example, hang a head of lettuce from the ceiling for some sort of "tether ball" game or for them to eat. You could also make a food puzzle, like those balls that have treats inside them. Lastly, you can...

    Heat lamp

    If you live in a place with hot weather, don't leave your heat lamp on in the day. Also, you can stop using the heat lamp at night also when the temperatures at night have reached in the middle of the 70's and 80's.

    Im raising 6 ducklings-what kind of wattage do i need in my heatlamp?

    I have chicks, so I don't know if it will be the same on ducklings, but I don't use white heat lamp bulbs, I use red heat lamp bulbs. They freak out to white bulbs for some reason that I don't know why, but I recommend using red bulbs, and you can get them on amazon or probably even a local pet...
