    Is fishtank water conditioner water safe for ducks?

    Hello all I'm wanting to add some minnows to my little duck pool, but because it's just hose water, the fish don't make it very long and I'm wondering if I can add some of the fish tank water conditioner stuff so that the fish will last longer and my ducks will have live food as intended...

    I have two 5 month old silkie roosters (only silkies we got and they're both male 🤦‍♀️lol) They're doing really well in the flock (9 hens) but my questions are: 1- Can they even breed with the normal sized hens? The two biggest hens I have are two buff brahmas, then one austrolorp, a sussex...

    He or she??

    This is my 4 month old EE Punkin. Recently we've been hearing some crowing coming from our coop and I think she.. er he is the culprit. I got her/him at Thiesens so I wouldn't be surprised! What do you think?

    Bald spot on bottom? Please help!

    Hey chicken friends! So today I went out to do my usual chicken duties, and I saw that my little Ezmerelda has a huge bald spot on her bottom! I also noticed one of the other chickens pecking at her, so do you think they're picking on her? She is the smallest one out of the nine. Also, it's...

    I think my chicken may actually be a T-Rex?

    So my chicken babies are 6 1/2 months old now. I've raised them from when they were just 2 days old and treated them like pets ever since. As they've grown up, out of the 10 there's now 3 really skiddish ones that don't like to be touched, and the rest are as curious and friendly as ever.... But...

    Chicken run is smelly!

    My chickens have been outside for a few days now and I'm wondering if there's a way to help the smell? It's mostly coming from the run. We've used river rock as the ground cover, should I use mulch over top of it? And if so, what kind?

    First day in the outside coop help

    So my girls went outside to the coop today and I haven't seen them drink any water yet. I upgraded their waterer to a plastic gallon one and they don't seem interested in it at all! I showed a few of them (that I could get ahold of) where it was, and even put their beaks in it. Will the rest...

    Coop decoration question!

    Hello! We've almost got our coop finished and I wanted to decorate the inside of it! I am wondering what I can do to make it more 'homey' for my girls? Do chickens like bird toys? I understand that they tend to destroy things, so I don't want to give them anything that could potentially hurt them.

    ⠀ Probiotics

    I want to start supplementing my chickens with probiotics, I was wondering if I could open a capsule of ours and sprinkle some in their food? We use pb8. They're one month old now, and I really can't afford to buy the actual chicken probios that I would like to at this time. Honestly, I...

    Please help! :)

    I have 10 baby fluffy butts coming in the mail soon, and I want to make sure that everything is ready for them! We have a 32 gallon rubber maid tote and I'm wondering what type of light I should use? I've read about many different ones including a red brooder lamp, but what wattage do I need...
