I need rabbit housing ideas, what do y’all aphave set up? Looking for something simple and preferably easy to clean/access
Love to see all your enclosures!
My chickens have access to unlimited food, but they’re all underweight. They’re fed Dumor layer pellets with veggie/fruit scraps, grass, weeds, and bugs.
What will help them gain weight? Their keel/breastbone is prominent, but they’re all being fed well.
alright, I’ve been treating my small flock (9) for about 5 weeks with poultry and garden powder for stupid feather lice.
Is there anything (not ridiculously expensive) that I can buy and bathe them in that will kill all the lice AND the freaking eggs?? I’m so tired of having to do this every...
How do I recall train pigeons? I have a couple rollers, and a few homing pigeons (I do pigeon rescue, so I never know what I’ll get next). Any advice would be great, thanks!
I want to do it as safely as possible, not a lot of predators in my area, but I really don’t want any of them to just fly...
Alright. I feed 8 chickens and 7 ducks, and apparently, about 50 sparrows. One of those 3 is not supposed to be eating here... take a guess.
How can I get them away? I don't mind one or two, but honestly 50 throughout the day is WAY too many! Their charging me double what I should be buying for...
I LOVE giant chickens/chicken breeds, but I've never owned any of my own, and I just realized, I don't know of any giant breed names in general...
So what are some of your favorite GIANT chicken breeds? Or you could just list giant breeds so I can google pictures lol
I would also LOVE to see...
So what's up? Are these the "rare breed" this person is claiming? It was posted in my local backyard pet chickens group, and I've never heard of a Brakel chicken (but I haven't hear of a whole bunch of other breeds either)
Also, how can this person tell they're roosters? They look too young to...
Alright. A little while back, a fox got 4 of my chickens, and just last night, a cat somehow managed to get my 3 chicks.
I've heard Guineas can make great additions to the flock and are on constant alert for dangers, and get LOUD if something is out of place.
Tell me ALL about Guineas. What...
Someone told me I would get more replies here than on the duck forum.
I have a duck named Hula who recently hatched 6 ducklings, with still 8 eggs to go. Well, she kinda ditched her nest and the chickens decided to dig around and ruined the nest and buried her eggs. I was able to get all of them...
I have a duck named Hula who recently hatched 6 ducklings, with still 8 eggs to go. Well, she kinda ditched her nest and the chickens decided to dig around and ruined the nest and buried her eggs. I was able to get all of them together, and they're only a day or so from hatching. I have no...
I don't have a picture this moment, but around her eyes is all dried blood, her comb is slightly bloody, but not damaged. She had a perfectly fun time running away from me while trying to catch her, and if he injuries weren't clearly visible, I wouldn't have been able to tell she was hurt...
My...
So, how should I go about handling the ducklings my girl is going to have (they're due in approx. a week)? I don't want to take them all from her since she's been doing all the sitting, but I also don't have the time or space for 10 (or more) ducklings, so I'm going to be rehoming some.
Will it...
So, awhile back we got 4 unsexed ducklings, 3 turned out to be male, and Hula, the smallest, being female. I was just about to rehome her because she keeps getting abused, but then I found this!!!
HER FIRST NEST! :D I counted and there's a total of 12! Now instead of rehoming her, I'm going...
So, we got 4 ducklings from Tractor Supply a few months back, they were mixed breed/sexes...
Three of them are drakes, and the female (mine) is the smallest. Her name is Hula and the breed guesses for when she was a duckling (first few pics) were Blue Swedish or Khaki Campbell - I believe she is...
So, when the ducklings get older I really want to be able to take them on short trips, and I learned of duck harnesses.
What do you guys think of them? Do they work? Are they safe? And if you have one/some, do you think it was a waste of money or do you like it?
Last of all, if you like them do...
I know that ducks have an oil they spread on their body to keep them waterproof, and that their moms usually use their oil to spread on their ducklings so the ducklings can swim at a younger age. My question is how old should ducklings be before they start swimming?
