    Pekin duckling care

    Thanks for the replies guys. It's really sad to say this but the duckling passed away last night. The people at the exotic animal place said he was probably too weak to begin with But I told them that if they ever have another (or 2 or 3 haha) duckling that they don't want, I would take it. I...

    Pekin duckling care

    I work at a farm where a small exotic animal exhibit is also located. The people who work there hatch out ducklings very often and hand raise the babies. They just recently (like 6 hours ago) hatched out a Pekin duckling who they cannot keep. S/he has something wrong with both feet because its...

    How do you name your chickens?

    These ideas are all so clever I feel like I always hear about people who give their birds really generic names (not that there's anything wrong with that!) But I think it's nice to throw a little spice in there!

    How do you name your chickens?

    The berry thing is cute I could go for a flower-theme, too And food and characters would be pretty endless. I feel like kids are the most clever with names. I have a cousin who named her now completely black hen "Dotty" because of one tiny black spot on her beak that no one else noticed

    How do you name your chickens?

    How do you guys usually name your chickies? I play around with names in terms of characteristics, personalities, and all sorts of things. But I always liked naming them in groupings; like after alcoholic drinks (Whiskey, Brandy, Scotch, etc.) and other things. Now my mom and I are looking...

    rhode island red alone .

    I know that with lone chicks, many people put stuffed animal(s) in with them so they can cuddle up. I don't know if a grown hen would do that, but it's worth a shot. Give her something to keep her busy and entertained, like lettuce tied up or something. Maybe then she won't think about her...

    “Soda Pop” Incubator

    That looks so epic Being someone with no experience using an incubator, I don't have many comments/ideas... just that you'll be getting a lot of chicks with that thing! Good luck!

    My Pet Chicken?

    Thanks guys! I'm so ready to get chicks, I can't even stand it!! And I sure hope I can keep myself from getting more than I can handle

    Which one??

    Can you get all three of them? Otherwise... do you want them mainly as pets or as egg layers?

    My Pet Chicken?

    Thank you! I hate thinking about little chicks dying during the shipping, so I'm glad hatcheries use heating pads to try and avoid that.
