    Week old pekin duckling sits a lot

    I recently acquired 4 ducklings from tsc, 2 pekin and 2 rouens. The 2 little pekins were both a little weak from being shipped and I lost one the first night. I could tell for sure that one was sick but the other one seemed just fine really running around with the others. Now a week later we...

    chicken can't stand

    When I checked on her after dinner she was actually using her legs and walking around. She did have a few piles of total liquid poop around her but she was clucking and walking about. We will see how she is in the morning and I will work on getting her some vitamins this weekend. I don't...

    chicken can't stand

    She doesn't look like any of the pictures. When I went to check on her last she tried to move we legs under her which seems like an improvement from earlier.

    The 5th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

    My friend @Hayduke27 and I will be hatching eggs for the first time. Probably just a mix of what our flocks have to offer. Currently I have a bantam mille fleur rooster and easter egger hens. So we will just have to see what we get...

    New chickens! Breed help?!?!

    I think maybe 20-22 weeks. Yes I would say single comb. Right now it is kinda a sad little combover growing more out than up :( the farmer also said she laid blue eggs which I have yet to see. But that doesn't make sense for a blue Andalusian.

    New chickens! Breed help?!?!

    Needed a few more chickies for my flock and got these from farmer down the road. I am thinking blue Andalusian and speckled Sussex. Those are just quick guesses since I am new to the chicken world. Help from the experts would be great. Thanks

    silkie sexing

    Two out of my 3 bantams have turned out to be roos already, my mille fleur and blue cochin. Now I fear that my third might be one too. Any help would be great. My little baby silkie is around 13 weeks old. My cochin started crowing about 2-3 weeks ago and my mille just started pathetically...

    A New Egg (in Sweden)...

    I love the owls. I have a pair of nesting great horned owls that live in the blue spruce trees in front of my house. Nice for me, but bad for chickens :( Good luck with your new chickens, they sure do have a sweet coop set up!

    roosts...natural branches or 2x4's?!?!

    Thanks everybody. Judging by the responses I think I will stick with my original plan and do branches. I guess the worst thing that could happen is that they don't work as planned, but it's not a total fail since I didn't spend any money on them. Boards seem like an easy enough back up option...

    roosts...natural branches or 2x4's?!?!

    Ha! I am the exact opposite flockwatcher. I have random thinner branches lying around that are not big enough to be made into rounds for firewood so why not use them for my coop. I am a firm believer of reuse and recycle!
