    hens with single chicks

    I have three hens with a single chick each. They are all in there own pen with there chicks. Will the roosters kill the chicks if I let them roam or can I combine them in a pen all together, it is a pain tending three pens.

    SILVER PHOENIX ROOSTERS

    Thanks for information I was looking at " My Golden Phoenix cock, "Tail Junior" " on "The Feather Site" and I think it's lobes looks like mine. They taste more like pheasants than other chickens and if these are mixed they lay okay so I guess either rooster would be okay. Thanks again.

    SILVER PHOENIX ROOSTERS

    Yes the three hens lay white eggs and a lot more than I thought they would. They have been laying since before Christmas and are almost keeping up with my two Rhode Island Red hens. It was windy when I took pictures but they all have nice tails. I bought them at an auction as chicks last summer...

    Help nest in a barrel

    I will move it into the garage to get her use to it. then see if I can tilt it to a 45 deg.and level the nest. Then I can put some wire like a woodduck box so she can walk instead of fly. Thanks:thumbsup

    Help nest in a barrel

    My favorite little hen is setting on her nest in a 32" tall plastic trash can. She has to fly up to get out because it is so deep. I am afraid that she may break her eggs coming and leaving. She is under a shelter off a garage but not in a pen. Should I try to raise the nest closer to the top of...

    My chickens are sick. can you reccomend a medicine?

    I read some post today about putting an ounce of organic apple cider vinegar ( not distilled ) to a gallon of water. It helps many different problems with chickens, other animals and people. I went out and bought some today. Try a search and see.

    wild duckling feeding

    I had 5 wild wood ducks hatch 3 days ago. We happen to have the Sylan Heights Waterfowl Park close by and I called them about the wood ducks. I wanted to know if I should do anything different for wild ducks than normal. they said that 24% starter is okay for about 10 days and after that...

    Humidity Problem (duck egg)

    Read my post against all odds. I just had a hatch, I would put a warm wet paper towel over the eggs. I even had to put drops of water in the peep holes so the membrane would stay wet.

    against all odds

    Thank for the replies. For the whole day they did not eat or drink, maybe they were worn out from hatching and trying to jump out of the brooder like they would be trying to get out of a tree nest or a nesting box like in the wild. I let them get in some water late yesterday which is what they...
