    Dumb chickens?

    If you can get just one chicken to use it, she’ll show the rest. Ours do great with nipples on the side style waterers. Our older hens were about 6-7 months old when I first put it out there and it took a few days of tapping it when I was out there, before I saw them use it on their own. I...

    Feed Questions

    Hello! I found a locally milled Non-GMO Grower/Finisher feed that we are currently using for a batch of Meat Chickens. I really like it and would love to be able to use it for our Egg layers/ Pullets who are currently on Purina Flock Raiser with Free Choice Oyster Shell- just would like some...

    Rooster?!?!

    We have 4- 4 week old Sapphire Gems and I suspect that one is a rooster. It’s developed a much bigger, redder comb and has almost no tail feathers. Pics 1&2 are the suspect; Pics 3&4 are a representative of what the others look like.

    Moving Ducks out?

    Thank you for your response! Whenever we move them out, the plan is to put a door on the house and lock them in and predators out overnight! 👍🏻

    Moving Ducks out?

    Just to be clear- They are currently 4 weeks old, and I was asking about putting them in an insulated dog house at 5 weeks old. Not 2 weeks!😬

    Moving Ducks out?

    I should probably add that since about 2 weeks old they’ve spent some time outside every day it’s been 50 or above and they’ve seemed happy- so they wouldn’t be making a huge temp change cold turkey!

    Moving Ducks out?

    Hello! We have 8 ducklings (Khaki Campbell and Black Swede) that are approx 4 weeks old, and they are getting rather big! This week the temps are awful; but starting next Friday our temps are supposed to be in the 60’s with lows in the 40’s. We have an insulated dog house for their coop-...

    Age estimate?

    Thank you!! Monday it was about 50 and they were fine for about an hour before they started acting cold- today is supposed to get to 70 so planning another outing for them to soak up the sunshine! The rest of the week will only get to the mid 40’s though. 😕. I’m thinking we will need to split...

    Age estimate?

    Hello everyone! We got these 6 Khaki Campbell’s and 2 Black Swedish 2 weeks ago, but don’t know how old they were at that point. They have grown like weeds and we are wondering how much longer they need to stay in the brooder and how old do y’all think they are? Pic is from Monday with 7 hole...
