    The Adventures of Atticus and Scout

    Thanks! I will definitely start changing up the brooder, Pine shavings are fine, right? Scout is a bit of a spaz and Atti is a loud mouth but their cuteness counter acts that lol, i'm such a sucker. I'm going to try to get some new pics up soon.

    The Adventures of Atticus and Scout

    I posted previously about being a first time Khaki Campbell mom, having gotten a little one with my chicks. the very next day, I went and got my Khaki Scout her Atticus (I'm assuming genders here, I really have no idea). Scout and her new Indian runner friend got along immediately. Today they...

    First Time Khaki Campbell mom

    I'm a research nut and from what i've read, ducks get quite the personality. they seem so fun and my banty hens at five weeks were everywhere (we kept them in out big spare bathroom). A fun age! thanks for the age guess, I'm glad shes young enough to try to imprint.

    First Time Khaki Campbell mom

    Yesterday my family took a trip to our local hatchery and walked out with five new birds. four chicks and one khaki duckling. Now, the last time I had a duck was when my older brother showed up with one after a fundraiser at D and B, I was maybe seven. I.Love.Ducks! I was so excited I convinced...

    Mint Question

    I have a mint plant that grows huge in summer (the bee's love it, makes me happy to see them) I hate seeing so much going to waste, so can my chickens eat it? or can i dry it and put it in their bedding? Its actually Citrus mint and it smells great so i thought if i could put it in their bedding...

    Chicks suddenly skittish of me?

    they are around six weeks now, i hope they grow out of it. they are in a pretty sheltered part of my yard and there's really no predators around... so strange.

    Chicks suddenly skittish of me?

    I spend at least 5 to 10 minutes holding and talking to my chicks everyday, sitting in front of the coop. they would sit on my hands and let me pet and hold them. now, for the last two days, they keep running away from me, acting like i'm a monster...they eat from my hands still but when i try...

    Are my chicks ready for the coop?

    Sounds good, i dont like leaving them in the box (which is now a rubbermaid) except to sleep so i give them play times. the coop gives them room to do something i thought they were too young for, flying. i didnt know they could until the orange and black decided to use my shoulder as a perch...

    thank you, they'll be happy about being in the coop, i had to practically force them back into their tub haha. like prying kids from a park.

    Are my chicks ready for the coop?

    They are around five weeks, give or take. they spent part of the day out in the coop with my supervision and loved it but tonight they are back in their tub in the bathroom. I think i might slowly let them spend more and more time out and see how they act...

    Questions about colors and behavior...(Pics)

    Alright, I'm new to this breed and just chickens in general, except for feeding or helping collect eggs with my cousin and they were all Buff. anyway, i'm interested if these colors have specific names or not. the behavior questions are - 1. Do chickens groom each other or you? 2. The dark...
