    Breed?

    Looks like my olive egger she had and still has the same style mowhawk. Only difference is yours has more brown on the chest. Mine lays a nice light cream green egg. She's also a really easy tempered bird. Eager to see what I have and never pushy. Mine looks close to this...

    Male or female

    The cornish are so easy to sex, like a night and day. Babies can feather sex (girls get theirs first) and with them combs and wattles that come in so fast you know it's a boy. I always say hey big boy when I see the males.

    Weasels with electric netting?

    It never hurts to prepare a weasel box as a precaution so it's a have and not need situation. Then the reverse need and not have. It's good it's not hot on bottom. Not sure what kind they got but they were happy with the price that's all that matters and they set it up full solar and so far for...

I did all straight run again even the brahma's trying for a rooster last year I somehow managed to have no roosters (except for the cornish x but those were for food). Saying a nice rooster...

    Anytime, some girls just get right there in your heart and you find that they'll be with you until time takes them.

    Weasels with electric netting?

    I do know netting can get 'grounded' if it hits the actual ground. At least that's what is going on with my friends netting. Free ranging always comes with risks even if you have all the measures. Friend fixed their netting with raising it just above. They are thinking about finding a conduit to...

    We Thought She Was Egg Bound... It's Pyometra!

    Aww bless her heart. Silkie are such loves so she will be a very nice companion and can still be fun to watch and have around. Nothing wrong with a pet chicken. I hope she makes it through and can be a joyful pet for you.

    1 week old chicks with day old chicks?

    Speaking from experience they will be fine, their development and instincts are close enough that they should integrate with little issue. Just check on them often and if any seem really persistent or aggressive give it time alone and it will rethink itself. Chickens have group instincts. My...

    Is a 15 way chicken scratch good enough to give ducks all the nutrition they need?

    Just chicken scratch as food is not enough, scratch is not a balanced diet it is an extra on the side. I personally feed an all flock, free oyster shell always available and of course food scraps when there are some, scratch and worms are junk food more for them. Just empty calories.
