I have 2 pekin ducks. 1 male 1 female and when they get in the water together. The male I named Aflac tries to mate with my girl and that lasts for about 15 seconds and she hops out if the water. And starts running around the yard. Is she going to lay fertile eggs from him .? Will she start to...
My RIR layed her first egg the other day. And I ate it this morning for breakfast and when I cracked it open. There was 2 yokes. I was like what the heck? But just thought I'd post it and let everyone know
My featherfooted Cochin layed her first egg the other day. And I'm wondering will my RIR and white leghorn start laying soon to? They are all the same age(7 months) and they all do the squat when I walk up to them, and try and pet them. So I think they are close but I'm just curious if they tend...
This is my buddy's chicken and its about 7 months old. It's really big compared to my full sizes RIR hens, and white leghorn. So I thought it looked like a barred rock/white leghorn cross. And I think it might be a rooster because it stands its feathers on its neck straight up sometimes when it...
My hens were free ranging yesterday and I went outside and said "where are all my girls" so I walk behind the shed and there's a hawk on my black feather footed chicken so I grabbed a log and threw it at it, and it didn't even move so I hit it with a stick and it took off. Now what can I do to...
