    My New Chicks

    Little One is 15 weeks old. He hasn't started crowing yet. So far his personality is what I would want for a rooster/cockerel, so hopefully that will continue as he matures Bonnie and Lois are about the same age but possibly 1-2 weeks older This will probably be the last update on this...

    How Many Times Have You Been Pecked in the Face?

    Ya'll. I did it again. I fell for one of my chickens cute little faces and got pecked on my gums. All because I smiled at her while holding her. The culprit: Don't let that innocent face fool you. She will peck your teeth and will definitely do it again given the opportunity. This isn't the...

    My New Chicks

    The babies are handling the colder nights well (40F). They're about 10-11 weeks old now. I think I have to accept that Little One is a little rooster 🐓 very red and large comb and wattles. I think I even see his saddle feathers starting to look pointy I let them out for a while with the big...

    Is this fowl pox?

    I have 32 total turkeys, ducks, and chickens divided into 7 pens. Only noticed the bumps in 2 pens right now. Do you know where the best place to get the vaccine is?

    Is this fowl pox?

    So now I have a turkey hen who has some bumpy scabs. She's the only one in her pen with them. She has at least five of them. Is this fowl pox or something else? I can try to get clearer pictures once I have some help, even with treats she was not having it Leia's bumps maybe look a little...

    Is this fowl pox?

    I noticed a few bumps on two of my chickens (both are 6 years old). They are in a pen with one other chicken, a duck, and a turkey who all do not have any scabs or bumps. None of my other birds in other coops have any bumps/scabs either (with the exception of one, but I think it is a pecking...

    My New Chicks

    Thank you. I'm sure it'll be a few weeks before they settle down (mostly Creme), but I've got a backup pen they can move into worst case scenario She was definitely saying some choice words not appropriate for little chicken ears! 😂

    My New Chicks

    Let the babies out for a while outside the last few days. Creme Brulee was not impressed. I set them up something inside to stay in while they're getting used to each other. The hens are refusing to go inside with the babies in there. Creme Brulee came inside for a little while to yell at...

    Can a Muscovy Raise Other Duck Breeds?

    Just an update: Daisy Duck did not go broody in the spring, and she ended up developing an ear infection in the summer (which she has fully recovered from thankfully), so she did not receive babies this year. We will have to see what she does next spring, and I will update then
