    4 ORPHANED BABY WOOD DUCKS

    Yesterday afternoon before my soccer game, 4 little wood ducks wandered into my yard with no mama in sight. I stayed around, watching from a distance, hoping mama would come back but no luck. We do have 2 hawks, an owl, and two dogs (one is a duck dog) that could have gotten her. I know that she...

    Chicken Themed Demonstration Speech

    I don't know if this is the correct category for this, but I figured it's close enough. Next week I have to do a demonstration speech for one of my classes and I want to bring in my rooster. I just don't know what topic to do with him. Jack is a 3 year old Dark Cornish rooster and is in full...

    How do I comfort my rooster?

    I used to have 2 hens, but one had to be put down about a year ago due to a leg deformity. I am going to try and call some local hatcheries to see if they have any extra pullets or hens that weren't sold this last year. Thank you for answering my question. I assumed that he would need company...

    How do I comfort my rooster?

    Last night my little hen, Nugget, died. My rooster was very attached to her and seems very distressed about her not being there. Before I moved her out of the coop he was cuddling up with her and making some very heart wrenching sounds. So my question is how do I comfort him? He is the last in...

    Yes I do have electricity in my coop. A heated waterer sounds like a great idea. Thank you!!

    I need new supplies for my coop

    I love my chickens and my coop, completely impossible for any predators to get in, but I absolutely hate the setup of it. As of right now I have two wonderful Dark Cornish chickens (Of course I'd like to get more. ). One hen and one rooster. I have a 50 pound feeder that has lasted me 5 years...

    DIY toys for the coop? And a couple of miscellaneous questions.

    So, I live in Wisconsin, and anyone who knows of this state knows it can get colder than a tin toilet seat on the shady side of an iceberg. So I was thinking of some toys to keep them up and moving despite the cold. I do have a heat lamp in there. What other ways can I keep them warm? My coop is...

    Keeping my dogs away from my chickens

    Thank you for replying!! I have a Black Lab too, but we use him for duck hunting. They will go after anything and everything as long as it moves. And they have gone for my chickens before, but my Rooster protected his family by charging back. Obviously Jack (my rooster) won. But it worries me...

    How will roosters react to each other

    I have a Dark Cornish Rooster that I got from my school after they were done with the hatching experiment and I will be bringing this years batch home too. But the thing is, I will never know breed or gender until they are older. So, I just want to know if my rooster will get along fine with...

    Keeping my dogs away from my chickens

    My chicken coop is connected to my garage and has a large run out behind it. It is all fenced off but I have two large dogs, hunting dogs in fact, that can easily jump the fence. We live out in the country so we always have hawks flying around and sitting in one of our dead trees. So, I just...
