Hello! So I have 2 girls who just started laying. Now, I realize that MAYBE two eggsa day isn't a crazy amount. However, 2 out of 3 of my kids, and my fiance really don't like eggs. So, I'm afraid that since we don't usually eat a lot of them I'm going to end up with spoiled eggs and that is...

I have 2 girls who are still very new to laying , but I just want to see if this is normal or not. So, the first day I found eggs, there were 2. I found them within an hour of each other. But now I have only been getting one egg a day. I can never see who's laying the egg, so I'm nervous that...

Hello! As the title says, I've got my first egg today! I was in my kitchen when I heard my black sexlink making an unusual noise. So I go out to see what's up, and both her and my white California are making the strangest noise I've ever heard from them(but I'm new at this lol). And then I see...

I sadly need to re-home my two ducks. They are just over a month old. Anyone interested let me know.

So I just learned that pine needles could be used as a bedding inside of coops, and I am very interested in trying it out. I have basically a small forest of pine trees right in my back yard. I just have no idea the "right" way to do it. I have 2 ducks (Pekin) and 4 chicks (2 White California 2...

Okay so let me start with, I honestly like going to TSC. I get a lot of things there for my cats. I also am the farthest thing from an expert on any animal, let alone chickens/ducks. However, today I went there and asked if they had any kind of dewormer for poultry. I am making a first aid kit...

So I have read online a lot of mixed reviews about clipping chickens feathers, and I'm not sure what to do. I am very much against altering my animals for my own convenience. (For example, I refuse to declaw my cats, no matter how much they scratch my things). However, I recently read a story of...

So I am really looking into making my own feed for my (2) ducks and (4) chickens. I know everyone's opinion is a little different than others but what are some good recipes for my babes? Is it possible to make food for them 100% without any kind of feed from the stores?(I do know I need to add...

First time poultry mom here! I am planning on introducing my (2) ducks and (4) chicks into their coop within the next few weeks (just waiting for the weather to break here!). I am nervous because, well because I'm always nervous lol, but I've read so many things that can happen to poultry...

Hello! Some quick info about my girl. She is an almost 4 week old White Californian chick. She is in a brooder with 3 other chicks, and 2 ducks( we just separated the ducks into their own brooder today though). Does her foot look like it's getting bumble foot? I clean the brooder daily and do a...

Hello! So short back story, I recently purchased 4 chicks (2 white California's, and 2 black Sex Link) and 2 ducklings (Pekins). So far they have been together for about a week, and they've done amazing together. However my fiance and I made the decision to separate them. The Pekins seemed to...

So for some reason, I thought my black chicks were ISA Browns. I happened to Google ISA Brown, and I'm pretty certain I am way off. Please help? I can get better pictures if needed

Hello! Me again (I did say in my introduction post I'd be asking lots of questions lol!). So I have week old Pekins(from what I've been told) and my fiance and I let them swim in our tub last night, and I think they had a blast. They swam, put their heads in, all that. We knew that we had to...

Hello! This isn't the most pressing issue, more curious than anything. So I very recently I got 4 baby chicks from TSC(2 ISA browns and 2 California Whites, all about 2-3 weeks old is what I was told). On the very first day, my fiance and I observed some definite bully behavior. One of the...

Hello! I just recently bought 4 chicks and 2 ducks from TSC. I was not told at the store about niacin for my ducklings, but have read on like that apparently this is essential? What do I give them? Where can i buy it? Is it possible to just give them a high niacin diet, and not give them...

Hello! I am posting this because that's what the instructions said to do lol! I just recently acquired 4 chicks (yesterday) and 2 ducklings (today). I've never raised any kind of farm animals, though I am an avid animal lover. I've raised cats, dogs, and my 3 children (do they count as farm...
