    A special hen’s passing...

    Sadly, but not unexpected, Fanny has died. The last of my 3 original Golden Girls. She was old, and had enjoyed lots of sunshiney days. She no longer laid eggs, but was nonetheless a very special hen, and forever member of the Blessed and Highly Favored Flock of Whisper Hill. That’s her...

    I don’t think she’s a Buttercup?

    She came with a set of Sicilian Buttercups. But she doesn’t look like the rest. Can anyone identify her breed?

    Could this be a Sicilian Buttercup chick?

    I bought a few mystery chicks at Atwood’s. Could this be a Sicilian Buttercup?

    Hatchling has bent outer toes

    About 2.5 hours ago my little one hatched. Still hasn’t stood up. Closer inspection, I found that both outer toes are bent under the feet. I did a quick google and applied “sandals” to each foot, hoping to straighten the toes. This chick is a barnyard mix, hatched on 21st day, in 4 hours from...

    Fire Ant Control

    Here in Southeast Oklahoma, fire ants are everywhere. I do not put poison on my land, except around the foundation of my home, to keep ants out. I have no recourse. They will invade the home by the millions this time of year. But now, I have free range chickens that love going to the cool under...

    Duck panting heavily

    I just need to know if this is normal. One of my ducks is panting a lot. She has recently started laying. Also, our weather is getting pretty hot. It's 90° out, currently. And she is panting quite a lot. Bill wide open, panting like a dog. My other duck isn't panting. They have plenty of shade...

    Pullet or no

    I bought these chicks, supposedly pullets, at the same time, apparently the same age, of only a few days old. They are now 18 weeks. Until two weeks ago, I couldn't readily tell them apart, and banded one. Now, though I don't see roosterish feathering, one has sprouted a substantial comb and...

    Could they both be female?

    I know its been asked 10,000 times, and I've read and watched videos and listened to quacking recordings. I'm sorry to ask it again. I have two American Pekings, about 17 weeks old. Neither has a drake feather. Both seem to be quacking as females. But one has a slightly stockier build...

    Hello from Oklahoma

    I'm not as new to chickens, or ducks, as I once was, but I still have plenty to learn. I have a little flock of 13. We free range all over a big pile of rocks affectionately referred to as "the Hill," but go into a very secure coop and pen for roosting in safety. I have one roo, a bantam Cochin...
