    No eggs, not eating very much

    I have 5 chickens. We haven't had an egg in 6 months. 2 were molting the beginning of winter so I figured that's what it was. But not it's warming up they're just hanging out in their coop most the day not wanting to go out of it. I'm giving them tons of fresh produce scraps and sprouted lentils...

    Do i heat the coop or not?

    We live in western Montana. Where the winters are harsh, with feet of snow and negative temperatures regularly. I have one coop right now but purchasing another because I've increased my flock. Do I need to add a heat source to my coops? I've read you can do either but I feel so bad knowing...

    Solar powered duck pond

    Hey there, I'm interested in knowing how you did this. I'm so confused with everything thats online about this. I need to get a filter going so I can set up my ducka pond but I don't even know where to start.

    What about letting them go outside? It's in the 60s here in Montana I'm sure that's still cold for them but can they go out for an hour or 2?

    The issue I'm running into is lack of space. This is what they are in now, in my kitchen. Lol so in a couple more weeks they should be able to go outside. They're going through water like crazy and I clean their pen 2 to 3 times a day because they're so messy. Lol

    This is my first batch of babies. I think they were about a week old when I got them. So I think they are 4 or 5 weeks old now? How old do you think they are? I bought the biggest rubbermaid tub I could for them and they've almost outgrown it. I'm thinking they are about ready to be outside...

    Is this food okay?

    I just got 3 baby chicks, next week I'll get 3 more. But I am worried my chicks aren't actually getting any food. The food just seems too big and hard for them but the people at the feed store said it's fine for them. They made more of a mess with it than they actually get to eat. Should I get a...

We have 3 cats, 2 dogs, a pot belly big, and now 4 goldstar ducks, soon to be chick and more ducks. I've never owned birds before and I'm less than a week in. I'm freaking out because I dont...

    Hey everyone, New bird owner here. Got my first goldstar ducks like 4 days ago. They are a week old as of yesterday I think. Never had any birds before but I wanted to get ducks and chickens (haven't gotten them yet) for the eggs and pest control. My question is what should I be doing with...
