    When do I let my hen give up on unhatched eggs?

    We did, but when we gave them to her we gave two from the nest next to her (had just been laid) and three from inside (that had been laid the days prior). It was kind of a “let’s just see what happens” type of thing so we didn’t mark eggs or anything. I was thinking these two could’ve been the...

    When do I let my hen give up on unhatched eggs?

    Hello! We have our broody hen some eggs from our hen who does lay fertilized eggs and she hatched three on Sunday night! Yay! It’s our first time going the broody hen route and I’m not sure when I should take the two eggs that haven’t hatched? I know they can hatch on different days.. it is now...

    Drake and Female?

    Hi! We received these two jumbo Pekins and were told they are a female and male but their tale feathers look almost identical. The bigger one has one feather that curls more. Are they in fact one of each? We are getting eggs so I know we have a female… and assumed the bigger one is the drake...

    Ducks Free Ranging with Chickens?

    Hello- We have 8 hens and 1 rooster who free ranged. We were given a pair of jumbo pekin ducks a few months ago. The last couple days we have had them all free ranging together which seems to be going fine. But I'm getting very mixed opinions on if it's a good idea or not. Does anyone have their...

    Chicken Coop/Duck Coop yard ideas!?

    Hello! We are planning to build a bigger chicken coop this spring but are undecided on if we should let them share a run with our two Pekin ducks. Right now all of them free range and we have yet to have a problem but the ducks have only been free ranging for about a week. I’ve heard the drake...

    Roosters being weird?

    They are doing exactly what I would hope they would do (except i do like them crowing..so I wouldn't mind if they'd start that back up). But I guess I read so much preparing me for fights and telling me I need to get them stuffed animals and block any view of hens..so them being so relaxed and...

    Roosters being weird?

    Hi! We have two younger roosters (5months) who were starting to be aggressive towards the others and fighting. We penned them separately while we built them a bachelor pad. Ever since we put them in their new space they are totally different birds. They are almost…melancholy? They have not...

    Roo or Hen?

    Hi! This is an almost 3 month old Chocolate Orpington that we don’t know what he is yet. He is huge which makes me guess Roo. But the other two roosters his age (different breeds) have started crowing and he has not. Any ideas?

    Is this molting?

    Hello! Both of my Americaunas have started molting, I believe. But I don’t remember ever seeing a hen molt so intense around their face. So I want to make sure this looks like typical molting. I switched them over to grower feed and have given them extra treats to try to help them through...
