    Singleton chick driving me nuts, help

    So I ordered some eggs one night when I was sleepy. Bad idea, lol. Anyway the Malay chickens looked cool. The guy only had a single hen, so not too many eggs. He sold me 4 eggs. It was pretty cold outside but I figured the eggs could make it here ok. They came unbroken. 3 started, 2...

    What is wrong with my duck? Eggs not fertile?

    I have 2 kiddie pools in there for them? I've only seen them doing it in the pool. However when he chases the chickens, they are not in the pool. They are sure clumsy critters huh?

    What is wrong with my duck? Eggs not fertile?

    I have a hen and 2 drakes, I've seen them breeding. Although only one Drake appears to be doing the deed. The other might be too young yet as he is only 7 months old. But my other 2 ducks are at 10 and 11 months. She's laid over 30 eggs. I've tried incubating them and they've all been...

    How often do they need to breed?

    So they celebrate like the hens do when they lay? Fun! Yeah, I'm not sure how neighbors would react? I swear my duck is super loud and no one has said anything? I like the crowing much more than the quaking (? Spelling looks weird) of the duck! But I guess that's just me? Anyway I'll do...

    How often do they need to breed?

    So I live in the city, and were not allowed to have roosters. However several of us in my neighborhood do, we just keep them indoors so no one has to hear them. It's supposed to be really nice next week, so I'm thinking of introducing my rooster to some hens for a few days. I figured if I...

    what should I do with my stupid rooster?

    My rooster was only pecking at me so he could try and breed my arm! He was very amorous towards me. Otherwise he was a very nice bird. I didn't want to use him for breeding so I found him a new home. But just wanted to mention, this guy could just be finding you attractive! I found if I...

    Topic of the week - Chicken run management

    Very cool! I'm starting to breed ayam cemani and want them to free range, but they are so small and can fly easy. That is perfect solution!! Thanks

    Topic of the week - Chicken run management

    Do you just have these all over yard? And then connected to a run or coop? Either way I think it's awesome!

Just because I wanted to try GFF thing about not touching them.I just checked, and my indoor humidity in my front room is 46% and the Bator room right now is my...

    HELP NEEDED lockdown death??

    I had my humidity at 40% during first 18 days, but lost a bunch to shrinkwrapping. I've played around a bunch with humidity, I've found that 45% I still get some shrink wrapping. So when GFF said do 55% through day 18 and up to 60-65% on lockdown I thought I would try it. When I first started...
