I know it’s a long shot, but does anyone have/ship Ancona patterned call duck hatching eggs? Or does anyone near Virginia have any ducklings available?
Is this a Sapphire Gem or Sapphire Olive Egger? I was told it is one or the other. Perhaps I just have to wait a few months until it starts laying eggs.
I have always been told/thought that cedar is bad for poultry, and waterfowl. I am seeing some houses/coops that are made with cedar. Is that okay or would it be an issue? I found a good deal on a larger enclosure, but it is made with cedar wood and I would never want to harm my birds.
I had chickens years ago when it was my daughter (oldest) and me. We ended up moving and had to give them away. Now I'm newly married (on year 2), have another child (3 yo) and a step son and I decided I wanted chickens again to feed all the people around (oldest is still here). My husband...
Is this a boy or girl? I was told its a blue orpington bantam, and I thought it was the Rooster that's been crowing, but found another one crowing instead. I don't want to get rid of it if it's not a male. Anyone know?
So I'm wondering if chickens are able to eat/have strawberries as a treat? The 'Treat Chart' doesn't have them listed, and strawberries aren't a citrus, so they don't fall into that category. Can someone help me answer this?
Thanks!
I checked the coop yesterday evening after being away for a couple of days and we had our first eggs! I felt like it was Christmas time! Now my daughter keeps checking the boxes to see if there are more about every 30 min. LOL I'm so happy my chicks finally started producing! Proud mama here!
Does anyone have a Silkie and Cochin Bantam mixed bird? I've been told they are called Silkens, but I've also heard Silkichins? I'm just trying to find out some more information about them, as I have 2 four week old babies I received yesterday.
I'm so excited! I finally found a Chicken Coop that will hold all my babies. I wanted to make sure my run is large enough, and yes they will be in it the majority of the time. Even though my yard is fenced in, I need to keep my dogs away from them. I want to plan for 16 chicks...we have 11 we...
My 2 day old baby Maran had severe pasty butt today. I finally got it all off with warm water, she then pooped a HUGE amount. My question is, I read on one thread to give them a hard boiled egg to help, but I've also read where they shouldn't have anything but crumbles for the first week. Is she...
Hi Everyone! I'm a newbie, but have been posting on different threads on different boards already. Just wanted to be 'proper' and introduce myself here. My 9yo daughter and I recently moved to the Savannah, GA area. We have entertained and researched keeping chickens for the past couple of...
