A few days ago my three baby ducklings came! (2 pekins, 1 welsh) they're 3 days old today. The first day they were super friendly but yesterday and today they have been really scared of me!! :( I have been offering them treats(romaine lettuce and banana) whenever I go out to see them and try and...
Hello! It's been a while since I've been on here. I got chickens a few years ago after I did months of research on here. They were great! But we sold them because they started to fly out into the neighbors yard and destroy their landscaping Anyways I am interested in getting ducks!! Only 4. And...
So my hen got attacked by a raccoon and has an open wound on its back towards its tail feathers. She is isolated from the flock and I am feeding her feather fixer and giving her electrolytes and probiotics in her water. The attack happened Saturday night and I got her away from the others Sunday...
so I did the golf ball trick and it worked for the first 2 eggs. Then I got two soft shells that were on the ground splattered. So I started getting some in the box and some outside of the box but still in the coop. Lately I've been only getting one egg a day(I have 5 red sex links). So I...

ok so I have 5 chickens(red sexlinks) and I LOVE them. I just can't stop my obsession. I want more so bad but I've been looking into ducks... And turkeys. So I'll have them for pets if I get them but what should I get??? Turkeys or ducks?? And what breeds do u recommend for pets?
ok so I have access to these three breeds and was just wondering which is best? Obviously Perkins are loudest but how loud is loud? Which is friendliest? Which is your most recommended and why?
i have 5 golden comets. When they get older I'm going to get them a roo to replenish my flock. What breed of Roo tends to be friendly and will make a good egg laying cross. I was interested in EE's. It could be bantam or standard just as long as it's friendly. And I would like it to look good

I have a 4 foot fence run in building. I know they will probably jump out but I was wondering when I get them, do they have to stay in the coop for the first couple days? Or Cani just let them in the run the first day? If they get out, will they come back?
i was just wondering, can black and red sexlinks fly? I was planning on putting up a 4-5 foot fence for the run. How heavy are they? And what other breeds are not good at flying?
I found a local breeder of black and red sex links. Can I have some reviews on these breeds? Is one better than the other? List of pros and cons would be great!
