    New Hen with feather loss

    I just got two hens off a guy on Craigslist. I noticed one of the hens had a lot of feather loss. At first I thought maybe the other one was picking on her- yet I haven’t seen any sort of altercations. From some research it looks similar to maybe feather loss from mites or lice? Yet the other...

    What sex is my silkie?

    ive read how silkies are the hardest to sex when it comes to chickens. Mine is about two months old now and I thought maybe more experience silkie keepers would have a better idea... Personality wise. Tofu is more skiddish than the rest.

    Not feeding chickens

    Soo I'm coming to this group with a question. I've been sort of sick to my stomach how my roommate raises animals. Because of this I decided to raise my three chickens separate from hers. I've raised the 6 birds from babies to now, for two months. She finally got her coop "ready" and they've...

    Muscovy? Female or Male?

    I finally picked up my loner duck a friend. The lady told me it was a female Muscovy but I could tell she was in a rush and maybe just said that because that's what sex I wanted. When I got home I realized how HUGE I mean almost double my ducks size she was. I'm new to muscovys so I wasn't sure...

    Depressed Duck?

    ISO ducks!

    recently moved up to Livingston manor New York. I kept my two girls in their new coop for 3 weeks and then let them out to play in the pond. They refused to come back at night and the pond is too big for me to herd them back. One of the girls died the first night- no sign of her. Assuming fox or...
