Some of you may remember me. I used to be quite active on here. Life happened and I started to drift. @Ducksandchickens is my bff and also used to be very active as well. She decided on taking a little break bc she thought she was on it too much. Unfortunately a few sad things have happened in...
So I came home a few minutes ago to find yogurt (mostly eaten) in both duck and chicken coops. Dad apparently thought he’d try it out without asking :rolleyes:
Just wondering if this is ok? I’ve fed my flock oatmeal and little bit of yogurt mixed in but never just yogurt. Dad says he only put 3...
im asking this question for a local park. This park has a old shed that they are converting into a chicken coop and they will be getting 8 pullets. Someone will raise them at their house until they are old enough to be brought to the park.
Since the park obviously is swarmed with children the...
At about noon on Saturday a very bad storm came through my area in ohio. My family geared up and we went out to put the livestock in the barns and the poultry in the coops.
The lights were flickering and we were huddled downstairs. At about 4 ish we heard a loud BOOM! A tree had fallen on top...
ill be posting at backyardherds too but I’d thought I’d post here as well. So early this morning I let my chickens out for a little bit and went inside to do something. I came back and found about 5-8 hens in the donkey/goat barn. I chased them out and checked around to clean up the poop. I put...
I have 3 drakes and about 24 ducks And they have all mated with several ducks and I’ve never incubated or let my hens lay the eggs so sorry if this is a dumb question! But anyway I’m wondering if I can check for eggs that are developing And then put them back with a broody duck (about 4 are...
We have always wanted goats but just recently found someone who is selling two female does. One of the does is pregnant and is expecting around January.
Tomorrow the owner of the goats is bringing them over to our house to see how they interact with our donkeys as they will be sharing a...
About 2 hrs ago as I was checking on the poultry for the last time I heard my German Shepherd puppy going ballistic from inside the house. My puppy, rascal is being trained to protect my flock and other livestock safe from predators and he is trained to not bark unless he smells something...
My Pekin drake, Peeta is a lucky boy. He’s the only drake of 24 hens. We are possibly going to try to let some of our hens hatch their own ducklings but so far Peeta has only been mounting one hen, katniss. (I think it’s funny that Peeta chose katniss! What a coincidence!) Katniss is fine with...
Toots one of my llamas came back from the vet after having heart surgery and was separated from my 4 other llamas for a week. Now Toots is back in the pen with them and the 4 other llamas have ignored them and pushing him out of the shed at night so Toots sleeps in the cold rain. Today they at...
Hello I’m Lexie from ohio. My family owns over 65 chickens, 5 llamas, 3 donkeys, 2 mules, and 25 ducks. My bff @Ducksandchickens invited me as we are good friends. I recently adopted a German Shepherd puppy named rascal. We have about 10-20 barn cats and one indoor cat named Barbie. We have 2...
