Hei Hei is from Moana. It simply means chicken. If we do get her a friend it will probably be named Chicken lol.

I think she jumped from a vehicle but no way to tell for sure. She's sweet. Now to decide if we get her a friend because we're putting the house up for sale soon.

Today I had a text saying I have a new friend. Seems Hei Hei here escaped from somewhere and my husband picked her up and put her in our old chicken coop. By the time I got home she was settled in. She's very friendly, eating well, and I set up a new nest box with extra hay for her. She even...

Hi. I recently adopted a female diamond dove with a foot that is deformed and will never open. I only know she's a female because she had 2 eggs in her little nest when I brought her home. My question is if it is safe to put another dove with her. Will a second dove pick on her or will they live...

All sorts of oil has been poured there and yard trash burned over the years. We kept moving the eggs and...

Oh no! Hoping your last few make it

Just read this full thread. Hoping you have a positive outcome. We're rootin for ya

My Mo turned out to be the broody duck. She's my 1st brooder. I have 3 other ducks, a drake, and a 1/2 grown drake. Then a barred hen, Jersey pair, and RIR pair. Of all the ducks I had hoped Mo would be the last to lay, knowing the statistics on crested hatches and all. But I placed a few eggs...

Awesome! She really is a Daisy Mae. Now to find an Easter Egger to make the egg collecting complete

Is my Daisy Mae really a dude? I just can't tell. She's not quite brightly colored or dull. Any ideas? She was in the pullet bin and is around 4-5 weeks I believe.
