    Hens attacking rooster

    Layer feed and occasional mealworms, bedding is fine shavings. I will measure the current dimensions when i get back home. I want to say it is ten x ten however. The issue is that they live in a converted barn stall. The run, which will also be ten x ten ( and eight feet tall) should be finished...

    Hens attacking rooster

    So. In the ongoing saga between my rooster and 9 other hens a new development has occurred. My eight month old Brahma rooster has always been more submissive and sweet-tempered. However, lately several of the hens have been attacking him and picking his feathers, he has no feathers on his legs...

    Pekin ducks and nesting/hatching

    Hello all! I have a male and female Pekin that will be laying/mating age very soon. I've heard that ducks in generally aren't the best egg sitters. Is it at all feasible to let momma duck try and tend the eggs herself, or should I just go straight to incubation? Just curious on opinions.

    lee county florida

    I know that this thread is months old - but you CAN have chickens in "unicorporated Lee County" which is North Fort Myers. Now, gated communities and apartments obviously have their own rules. But out here in the North Fort, chickens is fine.

    Chick breed guesses?

    Also. It's possible mom is a Welsummer... But her legs are kinda dark.... And I didn't think they had black/dark brown babies. Then again... I've no idea what kind of rooster dad is

    Chick breed guesses?

    Hey all, coming back to you backyard chickens and I have some baby chickens from mom hens that were roaming around the neighborhood. I'm going to post some pictures of the mom and the babies and maybe you guys can help me figure out what the heck kind of chicken they are. Note: the coop pictures...

    Raising Chickens in Florida

    Hello, Also in Florida, first time chickeneer here. Just got two RIR chicks today, after much time spent researching here on this site. Good to know about the shade (for when the young-ins go in their coop). Luckily we have plenty of trees in our backyard to accomplish this. As it IS Florida...

    Newbie here in Lee County, FL

    Hello all, First I should probably point out that I don't have any chickens...yet. ;) I live in one of the unincorporated areas of Lee County and it's pretty difficult to get a ruling on the whole BYC thing, as the ordinance is very vague. Still, I'm very interested and here to do some...
