I like crumbles for chicks and chickens but might need to get pellets for ducks. They are messy eaters.

I have a duck (black and white) that's laying eggs in the nest of a brooding hen. Problem is we have found broken and missing chicken eggs. This is frustrating since we were hoping to add chicks to the flock. What is the problem? What do I need to do.

My hatchery dark Cornish hens are laying eggs. I have a rooster that has mated with them. I've put one egg under another hen that's brooding right now. I hope it was fertile. Got about 18 more days to go.

These are not our first eggs but they are our first picture of them. They come from 2 whites, 2 cinnamon, 3 Bantams, and 3 ducks.

Would shipping to South Texas be problem for the health of chicks?

In the early spring its meal worms and dandelion weeds. They can't get enough of that. Yes they like watermelon and corn too!

How's this for a muttchicken?
