    design concept

    I was wondering if this could possibly be an ideal design for a backyard chicken coop. It looks like it could be made of that spray foam that many use to make homemade coolers. Or, start with the standard framing and round it with spray foam...(after placement of windows, doors and ventilation...

    I'm amazed!?!

    A few weeks ago, I had a hen (buff orp) go broody. So, to keep her busy I stuck a couple of "refrigerated" call duck egss under her until my calls started to lay again. I gathered 2 more call duck eggs and put them under...3 days later, a friend gave me 3 RR eggs to hatch out. Well, on friday...

    Odd behavior

    This is my male duck "doing" the dog.... I was able to finally capture this on camera! He has been pestering the dog endlessly. Chance, the dog, seems oblivious of him other than the fact that he will pinch her nose and eyes if giving the opportunity. Most of the time the dog ignores him...

    Old Fashion Incubator

    These are the incubators that were put in use... They both refused to break the broody cycle and I was lucky enough to have set aside half dozen for them. Candled on day eight and saw the eyeball in one egg. So far its looking good to go! These girls are new to this process and have found an...

    Maine Silkies

    Duck walk/entryway?

    I'd like some info on building a walkway for ducks to enter my coop. (width, heighth, depth) I have (hopefully) new ducklings coming this month. I'm in the process of redesigning our chicken run with an option of sectioning off the run into 2 separate areas. 1 for the chickens and 1 for a pair...

    "identity" crisis in the coop

    I just bought some silkie chicks from a lady in NH. They are wonderful and I'm very pleased so far with them! My questions are/ is: How to tell them apart? Should I tag them, and if so, how? Could I "redneck" a tag somehow from some kind of recyclable plastic laying around the house? Could...
