    Young ducks with older chickens eating layer pellets

    My 3 ducks are happily living with my hens. It's their 3rd night sharing the coop and run and they seem fine. Ducks are 6-7 weeks, hens are years plus.

    sick baby chicks

    We bought 3 chicks from a local feed store yesterday. One died overnight, and another is on her way out tonight. I went back today to get a couple more to replace them and they told me the light went out in that particular tub the night before last and they'd found a bunch dead in there in the...
