    Incubating and broody hens

    I had started incubating hatching eggs that I had bought but out of the 12 only 1 has developed inside of the incubator. I'm not sure whether it's my fault or that the eggs just weren't fertile. But the egg is going to hatch soon, it's on day 14 now. I have a broody hen sitting on 5 developing...

    Incubation attempt 2

    Hello everyone. I used to incubate alot then let my hens take control and hatch their own babies. Now I'm trying to pick up incubating again, mainly because my kids love to watch it. I tried normal incubating on my first try back at it and none of the chicks made it. I had a lot of trouble with...

    Limping chick

    I have this one little chick out of my bunch of 9. It's limping now out of nowhere. At first I thought maybe one of the other chicks or my bigger ducklings might have hurt it. My ducklings got out of their container and might have went into the chicks container, I'm not sure. But it's feet look...

    Silly question

    I knownit won't be a definitive way of sexing. But can you tell girls from boys ducklings apart by the size of their feet, like you can with roosters at a young age?? 🤔

    Building a run

    Hello everyone. I am building either an 8x28ft run or a 12x20ft run. How many chickens will be able to live in that? They will also have half a barn to be in when they don't want to be outside. Thank you! 😊

    Temporary run

    We are putting down brand new grass on our property, right outside of our barn where the chickens reside at night to sleep. I need to keep them away for a few weeks. My chickens are all usually free ranged 24/7 but I know people keep their chickens in a closed run 24/7 also. Would my chickens be...

    Randomly dying chickens

    Hi all. This is the second chicken I've had to this when I come to check on them. They both were fine and showed absolutely no sighs of being sick or anything wrong with them. Then all of a sudden they are falling over onto their side, almost like foaming out of their mouths, and then all of a...

    Red ranger

    I got my red ranger meat chickens by accident in a batch of golden Comets from tractor supply, a little over a year ago. My big rooster is over a year old now and I can already tell that his walking and running has been different. And the joints of his legs are more red now. His legs and feet...

    Mosquitoes

    Mosquitoes are squeezing through small open areas in my coop and bothering my chickens. I have made a repellent with garlic, so my question is would it hurt the chickens if I hung it inside the coop above them? Is it okay for them to breathe in raw garlic all night long? The mosquitoes hate the...

    Water

    Hi there, I will be moving from one location that has a big pond to another location without a pond. My question is, how many kiddie pools would my 10 ducks need. When I lived in fl and had only my 4 ducks they used one pool, so do I now need 2 pools or should I get three to give them ample...
