    How do you raise happy ducks?

    Can you put day-old chicks in with your week-old chicks?

    Hello, The long awaited day has arrived! We have 9 baby chicks, 4 ducks and 2 geese. They all seem happy in their brooder, are eating and drinking and running around. I was checking their butts for pasting-up, and I can clearly see a little pink that looks like it must be the butt. On one...

    Is home-raised chicken meat REALLY that good?

    Hi all, I'm not a chicken owner yet, but we do plan to at least get some layers when we get settled at our new home. Today, I toured a small hobby farm and talked with a lady who just started last year raising pigs and chickens. She said that the chicken meat wasn't really that good, and she...
