    Hen troubles

    Good morning! I have a light Brahma hen that I got from TSC the first weekend of chick days the end of February, so I estimate she's around 6/7 months old. She hangs out in the coop, more specially the nesting boxes. Or where ever there is a laying hen she can snuggle up too. She hasn't started...

    Too many rooster?

    I like the idea of the bachelor pad. I have a good sized coop I use for the babies when they out grow the brooders but are still to little for the big coop. I might try that over rehoming, since it's not being used right now.

    Yes, I could add lucky in with her. They tend to stick together anyway, and bicker over the male turkey. You seem very knowledgeable, have you ever had to treat pink eye for ducks before? I noticed one eye getting a little goopy today and wasn't sure what to do..I don't have a local livestock...

    Too many rooster?

    I'm really new, what does cull mean. I see it all the time, but didn't really understand. Unless it means to separate from the flock and try to tame it so to speak. But none of my roosters are aggressive per say, they don't attack any of us or the other animals, they just really like to mate and...

    Too many rooster?

    Thank you! Yeah I kind of rambled up there but I have 1 established rooster(Neville) from last year that I love, he is a very good roster. Including him I have 3 for sure(Neville, Klaus, and Damen) and one that I have no clue(Caroline). I had planned to re-home Klaus and Caroline (if she is a...

    Yeah, I think it's time to put up a pen just for the ducks. It sucks though because everyone is free range and the ducks go all over. But the one does tend to stay in on area as to not be seen I assume. So maybe I can just keep her in the pen by herself until she heals up. She was laying eggs at...

    Barred Rock Rooster

    Where are you located. I might be getting rid of one of mine. Not for sure yet as I don't know if the second one is a rooster or just a alpha hen.

    Mating season

    Thank you for the reply! So far the ducks are finally let her into the flock but now the turkey is trying to mate her which sucks because I'll have to separate him from them and he's been like a protector of sorts. Now my problem is the male roosters are aggressively mounting her. She has...

    Too many rooster?

    Hi there! So the last few weeks my new rooster 4/4.5 months old(I say new but I raised them from week old or whatever they come from tsc) have been heavily picking on three specific hens to the point where they have wobbly legs and can hardly walk right. I take them from the coop every...

    Mating season

    New on here, but I have a small flock of six ducks. 2 drakes and 4 ladies. I had a loan pekin last year(Lucky) and decided to get four more to go with her(they are about 16-18 weeks old now), I ended up getting two more Pekins (Blaze & Shadow) and two rouens (Sonic & Amy); each pair ended up...
