    Will two hen ducks mate with each other?

    I thought we wound up with two girls. Does this mean I have a drake, even though there is no curly tail, and they both look identical? Or, do female ducks actually mate each other? These are buff orpington ducks, about 4 months old. Through my office window. This went on for a full minute...

    Do I need a VPN?

    I'm in no official capacity. I'm security cleared, but I'm contracted to simply type court hearings. It's my computer, my software, and I just download their court audios, type them up, and upload back (Sharepoint). But to do those accurately, I've got to look up how to spell things, for...

    Do I need a VPN?

    The work I do from home is transcription of fed immigration court cases from around the world. It involves me having to research sometimes things about a little hamlet in a Third World Country. I've been doing this for about a decade. I got spooked about looking things up last night. Do I...

    What's the temperature where you are???

    The heat here finally broke, so highs are back down to the high 70s and low 80s, and we finally got a cool night, too, but this humidity is ridiculous. 90% yesterday, 96 now. It hasn't rained in 24 hours but is supposed to. No wind is a treat too! :)

    Review by 'Debbie292d' in article 'Permanent Hoop Coop Guide'

    Excellent article for anyone wanting to build a very sturdy hoop coop. The author included step-by-step instructions, blueprints, materials lists, etc., to help anyone build this.

    Hiya, and welcome to BYC! :frow The member who posted the hoop coop hasn't been online in over 8 years, so doubtful they'll be back to give any advice. I looked at that hoop though and they wrote an excellent step by step with blue prints, materials list, etc. and seems to have included...

    I have two chickens that free range on two acres, they are brownish red, that's all I know, they do lay eggs

    Hiya, and welcome to BYC! :frow Chicks take 21 days to hatch, so if you can figure out about what day she sat down on them, you'd have an idea of when they'll be hatching. We're glad you're here!

    Hiya, Roger, and welcome to BYC! :frow @BantyChooks has built several incubators and maybe she wouldn't mind taking a peek. Otherwise, you could peruse through our Incubators and Brooders articles and find lots of examples there. We're glad you're here!

    Slipped Tendon?

    Hi! We just had one like this, without the swollen hock. I'd get some B-Complex, either adult pills you'll cut and give less than 1/4 of one, or liquid fruit flavored drops like we got, then it's 1/4 of the eyedropper. First, we did the usual Vet Wrap bindings for a couple of days. That's...

    Introduction!!!

    Just the smell of the dog can help deter predators. I'd put yours on a leash like once a week and walk the perimeter of your property. I had to do that with our border collie, and she learned what I wanted her to check that she hadn't been. But most importantly, it got her smell there.

    Beginner Chicken tender

    Well said! We have one half the size of a regular silkie, and a couple that are substantially smaller. They were just hatched that way and live their lives normally.
