    My chickens are still pecking at each other

    Hi, I need some advice. We have 7 chickens. They have a pretty big coop, a decent space to roam around in. We let them out of their coop sometimes to roam the yard. We built a swing for them and put some cat toys on it for them to pick around at. I dump food on the ground for them to peck at...

    Water barrel

    Hello! So we have a 30 gallon barrel to put water in for our chickens. We are trying to figure out what we can put in this barrel with the water to prevent it from molding? Does anybody have some ideas?

    Duck feathers

    I clean their cage every 2 days. I’m a new duck owner so I’m still learning. I feel really sad right now I’m literally crying I would never do anything intentionally to keep them in a gross environment. I figured they were still growing feathers so I didn’t think anything of it.

    Duck feathers

    I’m actually crying right now, I usually clean their cage every 2 days. I use pine shavings and straw on top of that. I’m so upset with myself I am not at all trying to do anything to harm them.

    Duck feathers

    We don’t have any heat on them now because they are older and don’t really need it right now because it’s warmer outside. I’m feeding them an all flock food for both the ducks and the chickens.
