    Help identify my new ducklings.

    #1 has two small puffs of hair on his head, do you think that means he will be crested? Or just a bad hair day?

    Chicken "mutt" club!!!

    Ok question for all you "mutt lovers". I loved letting my flock do all the work with breeding, hatching and raising their own chickens. Its so awesome. My problem is once the offspring are old and ROOSTERS is where my problems are starting. I just don't have enough room or hens for that many...

    Old Fashioned Broody Hen Hatch A Long and Informational Thread

    Still only 3 chicks. They are just adorable. Momma has left the unhatched eggs to teach the chicks to eat and drink, but then promptly returns to the unhatched eggs. I am giving it a few more days and then will take those eggs and see whats up. One more video for those who are interested.
