They are about the same size but I’d say this one that got hurt was slightly bigger. I had also thought he was the more feisty one but the other one may have been faster.
There is no way that a predator can get in the coop that they were in. We’ve had break ins before so we had upped the security so I am positive that it was the roo that hurt her. Also I had read to add them in at night while they are more docile and that sometimes works for introducing new...
I have a polish rooster that ended up fighting with the other rooster recently and one roo just has plucked feathers off his head making him just look very funny but he’s fine. The other however has developed what I believe to be wry neck. He doesn’t act like he’s in pain although when he gets...
I have a couple of chickens I added to a coop during the night and I woke up to a very terribly hurt hen and the rooster fighting the others. He is hurt as well just not to the extreme. The hen(grey/black) head is very nasty and I can see her skull. It’s A large area that looks bad and I can see...
I found one of my little hens this morning with a big head wound. It’s all down to her skull and it’s pretty big. Most of the skin is torn off from one of the roos. Any idea if she’ll make it? I don’t want her to be in pain if she isnt.

I have chickens and want to try and hatch a few eggs of theirs. I'm wanting to buy a small inexpensive incubator that I can use. I also might try to hatch some duck eggs in the future. Does anyone have any advice on what type and where I can get one?

Hi I have two mallard ducklings that are almost a month old and I know it will still be quite awhile before we know their sex but they have two very different beak colors and I was wondering if that had anything to do with it. One is a bright yellow with black at the tip and the others is...
No its not wet. I wanted to wait until it was warmer to let them swim and I think today I will let them. I haven't seen them scratching or anything and they eat and drink plenty.
I just got two mallard ducklings today after one of our campbells died. we originally had just two and didn't want the alive one to be lonely ( shes about a month old). The mallards have very red skin and ones feathers are kinda ruffled up a bit. The place where we got them said their fine and...
