    Ducklings under broody hen

    Aww is she a bantam? Here are mine, they were trying to swim in their drinking bowl so I put a small bowl of water out for them. Will take it out if the weather turns cold though, thanks for the tip about the non oily feathers!

    Ducklings under broody hen

    So our baby khaki campbell ducklings have started hatching, not sure how many yet as I don't want to disturb them too much but I've not any experience with ducklings under a broody hen, I'm just wondering if the ducklings will respond to her noises like the chicks do, like when she calls them...

    Easter eggers maturing

    Hi all, I have a few easter egger pullets from my own breeding they hatched early September. Does anyone know what age these usually start laying? Their dad was a pure araucana but two different mums, one half ameraucana and the other a red star. Thankyou 😊

    Integrating Two Broods of chicks and to coop with older hens

    Hey 👋 I've always integrated chicks and broody mum from day 1, they get accepted into the flock quicker that way. I did have one very mean bantam though who would pick and even kill a chick that came near her. It was very strange but none of my other chickens were like that.
