    Hens won’t accept a rooster

    I have 30 hens and have never had a rooster. This spring I purchased 6 straight run Turkens. I purchased 6 in hopes of increasing my chances of getting more hens, I ended up with 5 roosters and 1 hen. They have been in a separate pen beside my hens for 4 weeks. I moved them into the main run...

    male duck chasing my 4 & 7 week old ducklings

    Thank you. I will remove him from the ducklings and put him and his mate back where they were. They have seen them many times. When I would take the ducklings out in the yard to play I would always take them near where the older male and female (mom and dad) were and they would always stand at...

    male duck chasing my 4 & 7 week old ducklings

    I moved my three 7 week old rouen ducklings and two 3 week old pekin ducklings outside to their new enclosure. We hatched the rouen's in an incubator from eggs that we get from the male and female rouens that we have. The male and female have always been kept in the coop and run with my 25...

    Did my duckling die after pipping?

    The duckling was o.k. As soon as the first duck came out of its egg the other two (including the one we were concerned about) poked their beaks right up through their eggs and started working their way out of their eggs.

    Did my duckling die after pipping?

    I have three duck eggs hatching in my incubator. Last night all 3 were moving and pipped. Today two of them have are cracking and constantly moving and the other is not moving at all. Should I be worried that something happened to the other egg after it pipped and the duckling died?

    prolapse and egg laying after

    My one year old hen had a prolapse that resolved on its own. She is fine now with no sign that she ever had a prolapse. She is eating and drinking normally and living a normal chicken life. The prolapse happened a month ago and she still has not layed an egg since it happened. Will she ever lay...

    Hi My name is Nicki

    Hi My name is Nicki. I am a new chicken owner. I came into owning chickens accidently. My boyfriends nephew, who lived with us, had a few chickens and when he moved he could not take them with him. He asked if I would like to keep them and I said I would. Needless to say I became addicted and my...
