    Idaho?

    I do have to change their pool once a day, so that does make it a little more work than my chickens. Other than that, they're pretty easy since they free-range the backyard. But the drake would definitely run off your wild mallards (he always chases the mallards that land in my yard:) I put...

    Free. I was just hoping they would get a good home.

    Idaho?

    Hey everyone! Anyone in the Nampa area want a duck and drake pair? They're a bonded pair of buffs and are a year old. She lays well and is a good broody. He's an excellent protector... Held off the neighbor's dog when it dug into our yard and saved the duck from a hawk attack. I'm looking to...

    My duck eggs arent hatching

    Has the duck given up on them? I had a duck try hatching some eggs while it was still cool out. She sat for a full month and then gave up. I then took the eggs and candled them. There were ducklings inside, not moving. I popped them in my little incubator and they hatched the same day. I think...

    1 Welsummer and 1 Light Brahma Cockerel - Nampa, Idaho

    They're about 2 1/2 to 3 months old and still pretty small. If you're interested and live in or near Nampa, we could meet at the D&B in Nampa or the Tractor Supply in Kuna or if you've got another place in mind just let me know. The one hitch is that I'm only available on Thursdays and Fridays...

    The greatest Blrw rooster ever needs a farm home (Idaho)

    It's just one of the hardest decisions I've had to make regarding my chickens, but my amazing 8 month old Blue Laced Red Wyandotte, Tookie, needs a farm home. He's a very vigilant protector and bok, bok, boks at everything. Hawks - Bok! Cats - Bok! A new wild bird in the yard - Bok! A dog...

    Good Dog

    SO cute! I'm already loving this thread! Here's what happens at our house every night. I throw down scratch in there wood shavings and Maxie eats the corn (which the chickens hate). Please forgive me if gifs aren't allowed.

    Time of day?

    I have plenty of nesting boxes, but they all insist on using the same one. Because of this they all line up like it's the women's restroom and I get a steady stream of eggs from 8am to about noon. (I swear... it's ridiculous. They stand in line squawking at the one in the box to hurry it up.)...

    4.5 week old Blue Laced Wyandotte sex?

    I thought I would post an update about my boy. He's nearly 7 months old now and just the most awesome little guy ever! He's very good at protecting the girls from everything. Hawks... Cats... A strong breeze :) He's not people agressive at all, but I did end up handling him a lot, so maybe that...

    Idaho?

    Anyone in the treasure valley ever been to Big D Ranch? I need to buy some barley for fodder growing and they have 50lb bags of whole barley listed for only $6.50 on their website. Can I just walk in and buy one bag or do they have a minimum order rule?

    Weird erratic neck movement?

    Thank you BYC again! I looked through a bunch of YT videos that were no help at all. I just experienced this with my rooster today. His crop was empty midday and he was doing this neck movement. I gave him some coconut oil and some raw fatty hamburger meat and now it's stopped. I think he just...

    Can rooster count?!

    The same sort of thing went on when I was putting my 8 ladies and 1 BLRW rooster to bed tonight. As soon as I locked the door to the coop my roo started crowing up a storm. I couldn't figure out what his deal was! He'd never done this before. But then I noticed something white moving through the...

    Will chickens still fight in the dark?

    This morning all was well when I went to let them out for the day. A couple nights ago, the fighting had escalated to a bit of a bloody mess. Chubs' (the bullied hen) face was a little swollen at the time and her comb was nipped, but she looked great today when she came out of the coop. No new...

    STARVING chicks

    They'll eat from it again and they'll probably dump it again :) They're animals that forage, so they know what to do. But if you're worried, then I would just do both the food container and some food on the floor.
