    Free range ducks?

    I just recently acquired two 8 week old Cayuga/black swedish mix ducks. I'm already in love! I currently have them in my chickens run with a kiddie pool since my chickens free range now. I put them in the coop at night inside a pen so my rooster doesn't bother them. I was wondering, how well do...

    What is this little guy?!

    So yesterday my cousin gave me the tiniest little rooster I've ever seen. My cousins neighbor has a flock of free range chickens and decided he didn't want to fool with them anymore and said if my cousin could catch them, he could have them. This little guy was one of the chickens he caught, so...

    The egg laying song

    Well, shame on me for not knowing what the egg laying song sounded like. Apparently some of my hens have been going around singing it! Problem is, they free range during the day and I live out in the country, so if they are laying, it could be anywhere. My hens won't be 20 weeks until August 5th...

    Vanishing chickens

    Yesterday 4 hens went missing. One was full grown and the other three were slightly smaller. They went missing in the middle of the day.

    From brooder to coop.

    So my chicks are going on 6 weeks old. The coop will be finished this weekend and I was wondering what is the best way to transition chicks from a brooder to a coop? They are used to being inside my house. Should I put them in the coop for a couple hours everyday and just add a couple hours...

    Sexing by comb

    I have 8 chicks of various breeds. All around 4 weeks old. This one seems to have the biggest/pinkest comb. I've heard that could possibly mean it's a rooster but I'm very new to chickens so I thought I'd get opinions from the eggsperts.
