Well shucky darns Portugal. I just found all the info in one place. I have news for everybody. My chickens still lay in the Colorado winter. I lost all my astralorpes to foxes last spring. Needless to say my Roo was lonesome all summer. I couldn't afford to pay 15 apiece for them again. I went...

Well

Have you checked Amazon, they seem to have everything

I totally agree to no light, it bothers mevwhen i sleep at nite, affecting hio rhythms , I would thinknnits the same w chickens and ducks

Thanks, and I do, I was more concerned about when they are in the coop at night, but so far ok, the Big ones want to get into the little ones and Mama's grub, I've kinda got em sheltered now. I just go behind them and tell em to move on.

She won't let me move her

I didn't get an answer must have posted in wrong place. MAMA Daphne is sitting on eggs due to hatch next week. She hatched out 7, 5 survived in August. Will the new ducklings be ok with the older siblings or should I move the older ones??. Daphne's next is in the coop, and everyone goes in at...

My Mama duck Is getting ready to hatch a new batch of ducklings. She's in the same nest as before. I have 2 month olds from same mama. They are all in a coop together. Will the ducklings be ok with Mama in same coop as the previous 2 month olds? This was not intentional, I did not think she...

TESSIE

Ok, I have a little dilemma. I have duck that a friend bought as a duckling. Her legs started to buckle and no one did anything about splinting. I didn't get her until about 6 wks. They called her Gimpy, are you kidding me. I call her Tessie. I tried PT, BUT THAT didn't help.. She swims well and...

I lost all my baby chickens to a fox I'm sure. I didnt secure the door properly. 5 were in the little box I had them in dead and 5 missing. I'm heartbroken they went thru such trauma. No more hens for my roo either, fox got them earlier this year. No matter what I do, as mine are free range. I...

Ok i have 10 chicklings in my garden shed, dirt floor easy clean-up. 1 small duckling got rejected by mama, I'm considering putting her with the chicklings, will habe more room and socialization. What makes sense doesn't always work.. what say you

Ok my chicks i got at Big R are 2.5 weeks old. I moved them to the garden shed a week ago, it is an 8 by 16.. i lock them in a box at nite in there. can i let them out to free range? Will they go back in? I have plenty of chicken wire should i make a frame and put them in there? They are...
