    Boredom busting in the flock

    Yes, I love them. The flock is going to grow from 15 to 21 in a couple weeks. I have ordered 6 salmon faverolle pullets! The breed I've always wanted.

    Help me name this pullet!

    Ooh yes, Agnes is a good name. She also looks like a Willow or Lulu.

    Boredom busting in the flock

    Everyone has those days when the hens randomly get bored and decide to chase each other and are a bit of a pain in the... well u know what! I think I've cracked the code. I got long willow sticks with loads of leaves and stuck them in the ground and the girls went crazy for them! They're really...

    How intense is your pecking order?

    My girls can be mean one day and be nice another day. So Dove hatched out 1 Chick, Sesame. They both are terrified of Speckles who was at the bottom of the pecking order. Speckles is taking advantage of the mama and baby so they run and scream even if Speckles just walks past. Then Dove hates...

    Sour crop

    Big Red has died this morning. I was able to give her the medication, but it wasn't working. When she was still alive when I picked her up, I could feel fluid underneath her. Maybe that was the cause... I'm happier that she died as she was. I'm so much pain. From now on, my flock will get...

    Sour crop

    I've had her around a year and a half. She doesn't have lice and I don't believe she had been dustbathing before this. I got diatomaceous earth and will put it in their dust baths. I really don't think poor Big Red will make it through the night. She is lying down in the nestbox and isn't moving...

    Sour crop

    She's had it since last Saturday. It's actually a liquid the vet prescribed. It's called micostatin. 1.5ml three times a day.  Her background wasn't great before i got her. She was in a battery farm, and then her whole flock was killed by a fox. Then i got her after that. Maybe it's stress from...

    Sour crop

    My 2 or 3 year old hen has sour crop. I rang the vet and they said to get tablets in the pharmacy. I'm getting them tomorrow. I'm worried she won't survive till then, what can I do? I could give her electrolytes... apple cider vinegar? Is there anything I can do to make sure she survives to get...

    Difference between show and pet quality

    I got my 3 cayuga ducks, they are beautiful with a few white feathers among the black and greenish ones. When the owner was putting them in a box for me he said, would you like that call drake over there, he was raised with them and is their friend. So I was like of course! So now I have my 3...

    5 week old chick mounting hen

    Haha, yes, I wish he was a pullet, but he is very friendly, so that makes up for it... If he gets on with his father, Walter, he can stay with the flock, but I doubt he will. Maybe I'll get him a few ladies 👀

    5 week old chick mounting hen

    Hi, today my 5 week old chick Sesame has tried to mount the broody hen that raised him. Why is he doing that so early? So now I'm nearly 100% Sesame is a boy.

    Difference between show and pet quality

    I'm getting the pet quality cayugas saturday, the only difference is that they have a couple white feathers. They are purebred but were either born with white feathers or they grew in later. I don't really mind as they will get white feathers anyway and I won't be showing them. I hope they got...

    Difference between show and pet quality

    Hi, I might be getting 3 cayuga ducks soon. I have the choice between pet/laying or show quality. Is there much of a difference between the 2? Would show quality live longer and be healthier or would pet quality live longer and be healthier? Thanks

    4 wk old Sesame

    Nooo, I still love him, would I be able to keep him with my other rooster and 21 hens? Or would the 2 roosters fight?

    4 wk old Sesame

    Does Sesame look like a girl or boy to you? She is 4 weeks old tomorrow. I'm thinking I'm leaning towards boy as comb is quite big and pinkish, hopefully she's a girl. What do you think?
