    Storing duck eggs

    I just got ducklings and chicks that were all sexed as females. Should I be okay brooding them together?

    Can chicks and ducklings be raised in the same brooder?

    I just got 5 day-old ducklings and 4 day-old chicks. All supposedly sexed as female. I have made the water accessible to all but in such a way that the ducklings can not make a huge mess. I have the kind of heater that they snuggle under with plenty of space to get away from each other. Any...

    Weird behavior

    They hav been in the coop but we had to move it so they would get more sun. Perhaps that is it. Nothing blowing around that I notice but I will go out and pretend to be a chicken and look lol. Thanks!

    Weird behavior

    Despite my six chickens (8 weeks old) having plenty of room to walk around in a run they tend to stay up in the coop and nesting boxes all day long.

    Raising chickens

    I have six 8 week old (or so) chickens. We got them at a day old. We believe 5 are female and one male. My question is primarily around how to get them used to hanging out with us and being handled. When they were little it was easy to pick them up and handle them. Now not so much. We let...

    Dominique Thread!

    I am new to all of this chicken stuff? How is the rooster temperament? I think our new Dominique is a male. He is our only one. Silly question but can breeds cross breed? All of the other chicks we believe are female but different breeds.

    Coop training

    Bear with me lol. I am new to this and don't know all the right terms. I have six 7 week old chickens (5 hens and 1 rooster I believe). We recently moved them into their coop/run. The coop is elevated and inside the run. We bought it from tractor supply. The chicks have gotten pretty good...
