    Duck eggs

    Well the biggest problem is I was forced to get rid of the mother this late in the game. I've got a heat lamp on them and keeping the temp around 90-98 the whole time. I'm really hoping I get them to hatch out. I was my first clutch

    Duck eggs

    We have found small cracks on the outside of the eggs. We can also hear peeping. When we candle them they are all moving around. How much longer do you guys think it will be?

    Can I fight it

    Yeah it really sucks. I called them up to see who complained. They said that it was anonymous and they didn't actually have a complaint, just saying I had chickens. So it was someone who was just being nosy and had nothing better to do then complain about my hens

    Can I fight it

    I did get ahold of the lady. She said that it's not her law for the 24 hours, it's the humane society. She also said she would not come in and check on us till Monday, giving me some time to rehome

    Can I fight it

    I do not have enough room to move my coop within those particular guide lines. The reason I thought I could fight it was because they do not have definitions for "fowl" and "livestock". At least what I could find. https://www.municode.com/library/tn/morristown/codes/code_of_ordinances That...

    Can I fight it

    And here is my exact law So where I am coming from is, these are domesticated pets, not "fowl". Also I do not consider them livestock because there is no intent on harvesting or use of commercial sales? Has anyone ever gone to a court/hearing? Do you have to pay court cost even if you win?

    Can I fight it

    I receive a letter saying I was in violation of Morristown TN law. The violation was having "fowl" Can I fight the terminology? Can I say they are pets , or even poultry. Fowl seems like a very vague term. I also have some Muscovy. I am hoping I can dismiss them as fowl as well On the...

    Broken toe, or just oddly swollen?

    Well they like to sleep on the top of the coop (after I made them a nice house) and they like try and see how far they can fly off it in the morning. The coop is probably only 5 feet off the ground.

    Broken toe, or just oddly swollen?

    Yeah I am glad she is doing better. This is not the first time one of my chickens had a limp (had a big ol maran that was limping) I am just wondering how / where / what is causing the injury so I can try and "chicken proof" it

    Ok glad to know lol. While I would say they are a great chicken to have if your main goal is egg laying, but I dont think they do well in a mixed flock hahah

    Guinea Eggs Question

    Yeah I am not sure, you might have to read on it. I know when I spread it on my crops, it did not have any bugs on it. Maybe a combo of DE around her, then some neems oil on the outside of the DE would make a good barrier

    Cayuga ducks???

    My muscovy dont make a noise at all. The only concern is flight (which I dont see how since they are so big) So we just clip their wings

    New Ducks, help ID

    It was just some simple boards put in a square. I really wanted to get them out of the house for awhile. I think baby ducks stink way more than chickens They seemed so skittish at first, but really started to open up. I did not realize runners liked water so much. Also, I find it very...

    Broken toe, or just oddly swollen?

    Good, I was hoping it was not bumblefoot. No, no one picks on the sex links, and she really only limps when she runs at this point ; making me think she is getting better. Yes it was dirt, she was digging in a nice pile of mulch that I had apparently spread around my trees just for her......

    New chicks & free range help needed.

    As soon as they start getting the juvenile feathers, I let them out on nice sunny days. Remember, with mama hens they are free ranging on day (with her protecting them of course) When you integrate them, just keep a mindful eye on them. No one should be getting harassed to badly, but there...

    Red sex link lifespan.

    Their life span is standard, but they burn out because they usually lay eggs every day. Expect around a 20-30% decrease in egg production after 2-3 years. Mine have been a rather dominate breed of chicken, How is the personality on yours? Also, mine so far have never missed a day of egg...
