So we have a couple of silkworm nests in our pecan tree. We know that our babies LOVE mealworms but are unsure if they can have silk worms....does anyone know if its safe to give them silk wotms?
So Tweety has grown into its beautiful dirty white feathers and has a really loud quack. Duck duck has gotten a tinge of blue on its winds and only squeeks still no quack. (Older picture of duck duck. Cant get it to stand still long enough to take a photo) What are we?
So out little black asian female chicks have proven to be all but strait black. Reese has gotten brown in her feathers and Raven is all black except her chest is turning out like Reese's color pattern. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Ok so we have a coop set up, we have the run set up as well. We are using our old dog kennel panels with chicken wire around it to keep nasty critters away.

We have 2 ducks of unknown Gender and breed...

We are a glutton for punishment..... we got 2 more babys, was told they are Asian black but not too sure. Any ideas.....thay are only a week old.
Thanks for any help.
Hello, after years of talking about getting chickens we finally caved. We are now proud new parents of 6 Rhode Island Red chicks and 2 ducklings that we have no clue of their breed yet.
As new parents of the clucky kind we have brooded them together and now the ducks herd the chicks at times...
