    When will my rescued pekins start laying again?

    I got 2, 1 year old Pekin females 2 weeks ago to take some of the stress off of my female black swedish from my pekin drake. I went to buy them but when I saw their conditions and expressed concern I was given them. They were kept inside a barn with chickens on inches of poop and mud. No water...

    Limping 16 week old duck

    My girl, Edward, started limping yesterday. She still uses it but tucks it a lot. She spent most of the day yesterday in the pool where she doesn't have any weight on it. There is no swelling or heat, and no signs of bumblefoot. There may have been a tiny scrape under her middle toe but that's...

    Will chicks survive these temps outside?

    I have a broody who is 18 days into hatching eggs. We are having a terrible heat wave with highs around 100 and no end to it for about 2 weeks. I'm trying my best to keep mom comfortable with multiple fans and a swamp cooler of sorts. And I give her frozen treats during the heat of the day. Will...

    Is my duck attacking me or trying to mate?

    I have a female black swedish and male pekin who are just over 3 months old. They are just starting to practice mating. Today I was out playing with them and splashing water at them while they were in their pool like I always do. The female darted over and bit the skin on my arm and climbed on...

    My first broody!

    I have 11 hens who are all about 7 months old and laying. And now one of my girls has gone broody! My questions are 1. Is it too late in the year to let her raise a few chicks? 2. Do I need to separate them into a different area if she does? Other info: I'm not sure of her breed- she came from...

    Is it coccoid or something else?

    I have 11 girls all between the ages of 21 and 23 weeks. 5 of them have started laying in the past 10 days. Yesterday I noticed what looked like blood in some poop. It looked normal except for a little bit of blood so I sat out there and watched to see who it was coming from and I saw it come...

    Vixen the Attack Chicken

    This is Vixen. I have 11 pullets all between 19 and 21 weeks old and she is the leader. I spend a lot of time with them and it's no unusual thing for me to be sitting in the run and have 5 chickens sitting on my lap shoulders and even my head at one time. I went down yesterday afternoon for my...

    Egg Song but no egg?

    I have 11 pullets that are all between the ages of 19 and 21 weeks. And I have been trying to be as patient as possible as I wait for my first egg.. I have been watching one pullet in particular for the past few weeks as she has started doing the 'squat' and her wattles and comb have gotten...

    Hello. This is Rosalie. She is about 16 weeks old and I'm just curious if anyone has any idea on what breed she might be or even what mix she could be. Thanks!

    A Chicken OBSESSED New Egger! :-)

    Hi all! I am new to owning chickens but I'm not new to this site! My family says that I research everything 'to death' so that's what I did before I started building myI coop and run and getting my chicks. I have wanted and admired chickens for years but alas it hasn't come to pass until now...

    Any ideas on what she is?

    I got this beauty from TSC in the white pullet bin. The one in the foreground on the right. She is now about 6 weeks old and I don't know what she is. There is another that looks almost identical (the one beside her)but so far her feathers are coming in solid white whereas the other has one dark...
