    Clicker-training a chicken!

    Oh good idea! The clicker is too loud! I agree! My sister was shrieking at me to stop playing with it haha. A washcloth to cover it or a pen is a good idea! Thank you!

    Clicker-training a chicken!

    Sounds crazy, doesn't it? Has anyone tried this? I saw a youtube video of it, and it seemed to go very well! I got a clicker today, and tried it on my chickens. It scares the freak out of four of the chickens, makes one a bit nervous, then the last one is fine with it, that's the one I'm...

    They keep breaking into my house....uh oh...and stealing....

    stealing what??? Crumbs!! So I have six very naughty chickens and one duck. I'd say three of the chickens like me, three of them don't care about me. The duck hates me but will eat from my hand HA. But ALL of them go crazy when I open my backyard door. They HAVE to go inside. Even if I'm...

    *horror music* Duck Pond Cleaning...

    I have one duck. In one day, this duck turns beautiful clean water to dark green swamp water. Since I am not strong enough to pick it up, I have to get it all out by by stepping on the edge. That is swamp water going over on my foot. Not fun, and wasting water everyday. Is the only way to...

    Tame Chickies

    I have two batch of chicks. The two-monthers and the one-monthers. The two-month chicks were my first-ever chicks and I held them often, took them out a lot, and "babied" them. When I kicked them outside, they would follow me around like mama hen and they sit on my lap often, still. I...

    Presenting @ School!

    My younger sister wants to present two of my chickens at school. (They are almost two months old) She is a 7th grader if that's important to know. I was going to keep them standing on my elbow like they like to do and then sometime, put them down on garbage bags and feed them shredded cheese...

    Temporary Warmth?

    This morning I went into my room to check on the chicks and noticed the room looked darker than usual. I had just woke up from a very bad sleep so I wasn't thinking straight. Then I went to school and then my dad messaged me and told me the chicks heater was out(oh!) but he had to go to work...

    What breeds suck up/are friendly to you the most?

    My silver laced wyandotte, DEFINITELY. I was thinking of naming her Buddy, I love it so much! My Jersey giant comes next, but isn't nearly as much as a suck up as the SLW, haha. Shes 5 weeks old, I'm curious how she'll be when she's all grown up!

    Molting Duckling?

    I have a single pekin duckling that lives with three chicks. (last one in the store, so only duck there. D: It bonded instantly with the chicks and can never be anywhere without them, same with the chicks without the duck, cute little flock!) Well it's a pekin female, and it's 3 and a half...

    Muscovy Vs. Pekin

    I'm deciding on some ducks and I'm wondering which one would be best suited for me? Which duck is quieter?(the female duck, I'm not getting any males) I know the muscovy ducks dont quack but is the hissing loud? Or are the pekin quacks more loud? Which duck is generally more friendly with...
