    Cooping Chickens and Ducks Together.... please help!

    The chicken nipples are a great idea - for chickens since they don't like to play in the water. I am wondering how long it would take the ducks to empty a system like that once they learn to hold the nipples open to get water, especially if they don't have access to a pool. I used to have water...

    why ar'e they digging in the dirt

    LOL, mine do that too. To me it looks like they are trying to find a cooler spot, but once it's hollowed out they all pile in; so much for cooling off. Sometimes they roll around in the dirt and kick up dust for a dust bath to get rid of pests on their body.

    Cooping Chickens and Ducks Together.... please help!

    I have absolutely no ideas for keeping ducks and chickens together. We tried it. It didn't work no matter what we did. The day the ducks became territorial of the food dish and attacked a couple of the chickens for daring to come to eat with them, (Both ducks actually dragged a chicken around by...

    Frittata - uses up to eight eggs

    My family and friends LOVE this one. We have pot luck dinner before karaoke on Fridays and when I being this it's always gone in a flash. Here's the way I make it: I use half pound of breakfast sausage (used to use Italian sausage - both are good, just personal preference) 3 medium to large...

    Mold a problem???

    Mold only grows where there is dampness. Make sure the feed you are giving them is not damp. The area the mold is growing in sounds like it is damp enough to start that mold growing also. What I would do is scrape off the surface mold and get rid of it and then turn the soil over and add sand to...

    Baby Treats?

    Can anyone tell me if baby chicks like treats? and what kind? Seems kinda boring to be eating the same feed day in and day out. My babies are about a week old.

    Is This Really A Lily??

    I bought four brahma chicks from Tractor Supply last Thursday. Their weights were 42 grams and 44 grams. I figured they were a couple days old because they all still had their "egg tooth." This morning I noticed that the smallest one is developing wing feathers and tail feathers - you can see...

    Handling very young pet chicks: Yea or Nay?

    So glad I found this forum. I was wondering the same thing myself because today I became the proud owner (or do they own me now?) of four little Brahma chicks that I just can't seem to leave be. Love holding them, watching them, and taking pics. So cute. Now I am more relieved about holding them...
