I let a broody hen hatch some chicks last summer and they were mostly roosters 🤦🏼♀️ They were all getting along fine for a while but now they are picking on each other too much. The father of all 3 is my Ayam Cemani rooster. The grey one is half silkie, the other 2 are mixes of one of my hens...
I have a frizzled silkie/Rhode Island Red rooster I need to re-home. He was raised with the flock and was getting along fine but has now started being more aggressive with the other rooster and is too aggressive when he tries to mate with the silkies. I haven's seen any issues with him and the...
Well it looks like the consensus is that it's a slime mold! It's just so weird looking- I've never seen one before. I'm just glad it isn't eggs Lol! Thanks everyone!
I emailed the Ohio dept. of wildlife to see if they could tell me what it is, but haven't heard anything back. I wish I had access to a microscope! I might try to get ahold of a magnifying glass though. I'll update if and when I have an answer!
It's creeping me out! Several people have suggested tick eggs but we don't think it is, unless the tick was the size of my head, in which case we are definitely moving! The closest picture I could find that looks like it is from this article:

We found this in our yard. It's about the size of my hand. No one knows what it is! They look like eggs or something but I've never seen anything like it!
I have a 1 year old Rouen drake that needs rehomed. I had 2 other ducks that were unfortunately taken by predators. I would rather not get any more ducks right now and he's been picking on one of my hens so I need to rehome him.
I would like to rehome my Rhode Island Red rooster. I currently have him with 8 hens and there have been no issues with them, but he constantly harasses my ducks. He has never shown any aggression to people, including my toddler, but I hate having to keep him locked up when the ducks are out. Thanks
I have 8 hens (mix of RIR and BO) and one RIR rooster who are all about 16 weeks old. I have 1 male Rouen who sadly lost his duck friend to a predator earlier this summer, so I got 2 new ducks to keep him company. They are about 6 weeks old and I've had them in the coop for 3-4 weeks with...
