    Bloody egg

    I went to gather eggs this morning and found one that had blood on the outside. Should I be worried?? It was one of my older hens who layed it. She is our most consistent layer and we’ve never had any problems with her before.

    How many ducks can I get?

    Hi there! I currently have fifteen chickens, and was wondering what I would have to do if I got ducks. How many ducks I can get? Is there anything I would have to do for them in the winter? Do they need some place to swim? Are they cold hardy? Can they eat chicken food? Do they sleep on roosting...

    Older chicken bullying new ones

    My older hens are two almost three years old. Our cockerel so far hasn’t had any trouble with our younger pullets, which are four months(don’t know if that makes a difference)
