    13 Layers I need of a home Middle TN

    We can take them. We're looking to expand our flock. We're near Auburn, Alabama. If my map is correct you're only about a 4 hour drive from us. We could drive up to get them this weekend. Our current flock is free-ranged on our property and we give organic feed.

    Free Rooster Needs A Home --Alabama

    I've thought about it. But, my 11 yr old daughter and my husband would never forgive me. As far as they are concerned, the chickens and ducks are egg-producing pets.

    Free Rooster Needs A Home --Alabama

    He's a good rooster, but a lousy family pet. He protects his hens faithfully. In the spirit of full disclosure, this rooster regularly attacks human and canine family members without being provoked. He thinks nothing of going after my 80 lb lab, or my 50 pound mutt. My dogs are gentle with...

    Pekin Duck Club!

    I think "Daisy" might actually be "Donald." Does this look like s/he is developing drake feathers to you? I've had Daisy/Donald for about a month. I bought her/him from TSC as a tiny duckling, just about 4 weeks ago as a tiny duckling, so I'm not exactly sure how old s/he is. What do you guys...

    Pekin Duck Club!

    We have 12 chicks and 2 ducklings. We bought the chicks at TSC about one month ago, and the ducklings, also from TSC, one week later. These 14 birds get along well and seen to function as a flock. One duckling is a Rouen female (she has her feathers, and is colored like a female) the other is a...

    Heating Pad Safety

    We finished building the chicken coop this past weekend, and it is as secure as we could possibly make it, and has good ventilation. I'll check the rating on my extension cord, and the requirements of the chicken heating pad when I get home. I think the chicks will be moving to their new coop...

    Moving Chicks to Coup?

    I'm looking at a similar question. I want to move my chicks outside also. I've had my chicks about 2 weeks, and the ducklings 1 week. They are getting too big for the brooder they are in, and seem much happier outside in the chicken pen. I've been putting them outside almost every morning and...

    Heating Pad Safety

    Hi everyone, I'm pretty new here, this is my 2nd post, I think. Two weeks ago, I bought 18 chicks from TSC, I started them off in an indoor brooder. Then, a week ago today, I went back to TSC and bought two ducklings. The ducklings went into the brooder with the chicks. This is my first flock...

    The Duck Thread

    Hmm.. my post seems to have disappeared. Short version-- I brought home two ducklings today to join our small flock of 18 chick (chicks acquired a week ago), and I have no idea what breeds these two babies might be. I'm wondering if anyone here can help me identify the breed, or if it's even...

    The Duck Thread

    Can anybody tell me what breeds these two ducklings might be? A week ago I bought our first flock of 18 baby chickens. While we were at TSC my daughter asked me if we could get 2 ducklings too. I told her that I knew nothing about ducks, and would research it, but thought we needed a pond...
