    The lonesome duck

    Why will one duck, all of a sudden, start staying away from the flock?

    Welsh Harlwquin ducks

    I'm new to ducks, and so far, I've learned that different breeds can't mate, or the ducklings will be sterile. I have recently bought, what I'm pretty sure is a gold phase Welsh Harlequin drake, and possibly a silver phase Welsh Harlequin hen. Now for the dumb question, will the different color...

    First ime broody hen quit setting

    I have a black copper marans hen who went broody for the first time. All was going well until a couple of days ago. She started staying off the nest and the eggs would get cold before she would return, and last night she didn't get on the nest at all. Could this be because it's her first time...

    Game Reds???

    I bought two pullets at a swap and the man said that they are Game Reds. I came home, looked on line trying to find them and came up empty. The closest I came was maybe American game. Has anyone ever heard of a Game Red?

    Beginner

    Hi, I'm very new to raising chickens. I've always wanted them, but never had the opportunity to have any, now I do. I have turned an old four stall horse barn into a chicken house. I went to a local animal swap and came across two american game pullets, and I was given a white leghorn rooster by...
