I have 5 chickens and am now considering a couple of ducks. Can I put the ducks in with the chickens, or should we build another coop and run. Do I need to have a male duck in order to get eggs from the girls. I would really appreciate some responses. Thanks ahead of time.
My chickens are 8...
Does the color of the small comb (8 wk olds) tell you whether it will be a rooster or hen?
Also my hybrid RIR is black, but getting auburn feathers on chest, and some dark greenish blue tail feathers?
I'm new to chicken raising, and bought these as "sexed" at local Feed Store....
I have also...
This is my first time raising chicks, and i'm so excited, and trying to learn all I can thru this fantastic website, and hopefully from some of you pros out there. I can't believe how fast they grow, and change their colors.. One of my 2 hybrid RIR's is black and she is my alpha in the coop...
