    Boys or girls? 9wk old.

    I have 9 wk old black sexlinks from TSC that are supposed to be girls. The faces make me think girl because there is little growth but some of the tail feathers are curved so I’m not really sure. Thoughts?

    Will hens accept a rooster?

    Like you said. The top two hens picked a fight initially and got mated 😂. Today they are one big happy family.

    Jersey Giant mix?

    Just picked up this guy and he is very handsome. Previous owner bought from tractor supply as a Jersey Giant. He looks like a mix to me. What do you think? He is much bigger then our red sexlink hens.

    Will hens accept a rooster?

    We are picking up a rooster for our hens. Will they accept him in since it’s a boy or will there be pecking order fights? Trying to gauge if I need to separate him off for awhile or not.

    Anyone raise their chickens to produce low PUFA eggs?

    Wanted to see if anyone else was trying or able to raise their chickens to be low PUFA (polyunsaturated fat). We have just started with 6 red sexlinks (23wks) and 6 black sexlinks (4wks). The older girls have still not laid eggs, though they look healthy and seem to be getting enough food with...

    Question for those that raise mealworms.

    We are getting everything we need together to start a mealworm farm. My husband just bought a 50lb bag of wheat bran for substrate and food. He forgot that it was supposed to be organic. Will the non organic wheat bran kill the mealworms if it was sprayed with pesticides? Also, do I need to bake...

    Multiple birds prolapsing.

    Don’t want the corn and soy in their feed for better egg quality as that’s their main purpose. I hatch all my birds and these ducks originated from a breeder (shipped eggs that I hatched). The main thing with Chicken feed was not to give medicated to ducks as they will overdose and die from it...

    They also free range and get bugs/worms from the yard/garden.

    Multiple birds prolapsing.

    I’ve had multiple of my ducks prolapse in the last couple years but this year has been much worse with 1 dying and now I have another this morning that looks very bad and will likely die as well. What is causing this and how can I prevent it? Is it possibly genetics as my other breed of duck...

    How much calcium citrate to give egg bound duck?

    Thank you. I have powder on hand, went to give it some and it laid the egg. Now it’s prolapsed 😭. I’ve dealt with that before though.
