    Suggestions for rehoming to a good home

I care about them very much and want them to at least go to loving homes if it does turn out that I can't keep them. Does anyone have suggestions for rehoming? Chickens are easily abused and I want to...

    Best Dog Breed to Double as Both Housepet and Chicken Guard?

    I've looked at some guard dog articles, questions, and threads, but most focus on just the guarding aspect and even say guard dogs shouldn't double as housepets or get attention outside the guarding area. (which makes sense) I know, with training, many breeds can be taught to look after...

    Non-electric chicken waterer for winter similar to Bar Bar A?

    We're getting our horses a Bar Bar A waterer to get ready for next winter, so I started looking for some kind of similar set up for my chickens to no avail. Is there anything out there like it that a chicken can use? We get to -20°F and below at times, so I can't really rely on set-ups like...

    Rouen Duck stopped quacking a while ago. Is she actually a he?

    (Edit) Okay, new question. If she turns out to be a he, which seems likely, That gives me one drake (Rouen) and two ducks (Cayuga and Welsh Harlequin). Is that ratio okay or should I start figuring out how to get a third female? (/edit) My Rouen was the first one to quack and did so very early...

    Duckling with a history of health problems just had a seizure

    My 6 1/2 week old female Welsh Harlequin had a seizure today. Since seizures are difficult to solve and as far as I know I don't have a vet I can take her to, I'll give as much info as I can. It started with the shipment of ducklings and chicks I ordered from a supply store. The shipment...

    How long to leave wheat in water and how much for three ducks?

    Hey everyone. I have three growing ducklings of my own for the first time, and I'm going to be having them out in the same yard as my chickens soon. I've heard of putting wheat in a water bucket for the ducks so the chickens can't eat it but the ducks can. Does anyone have any experience with...

    Hello!

    Hello. Nice to meet you. :) I'm brand new to chicken raising. I was thrown into it thanks to a family member suddenly bringing home a bunch of 1 week old sale chickens without any prior notice or breed information...or much preparation. They brought them home for the purpose of meat and eggs. I...
