    Curled toes and probably a slipped tend

    I’d appreciate any feedback regarding this chick’s prognosis for quality of life, or advice on how to treat her. Here’s the situation: She hatched on the 28th, and I received her via USPS on the 29th. Her toes are curled, and I thought she had spraddle leg. Upon further research, I believe she...

    Which breed laid this egg?

    I have a Polish and a D’uccle that have been seeming as though they’re getting close to laying their first eggs for a few weeks now (also have a silkie pullet that is the same age as the D’uccle, but she’s not really indicating that she’s about to lay - heck, guess she might be a roo, but...

    Fencing?

    Anyone have any experience with Omlet chicken fencing, and if so, what do you think of it? Also, any experience with alternative diy fencing (as Omlet is out of stock anyway)? I’ve been researching this so long that I am getting overwhelmed. I will note, I am not looking for something predator...

    2 D’uccle cockerels Ithaca NY

    I’d like to re-home one Mille Fleur D’uccle rooster and one porcelain D’uccle rooster. They’re 16wks old. The photo was taken a few weeks ago, and the two roosters in need of a new home are the ones on either side of the hen. Located just outside Ithaca NY.

    Chicken Tender

    First, I wasn’t sure where to post this, so this was my best guess. If anyone thinks it’d be more appropriate elsewhere, please let me know. So, I was thinking about starting a small business offering my services taking care of folks’ backyard chickens while said folks travel. Think there’s a...

    Ducklings arriving next week!

    On sorta a whim, I just ordered 3 day old Cayuga ducklings which will hatch February 10th (the whim was ordering them sooner than planned). Any advice for someone new to raising ducks? Anything those of you experienced with backyard ducks wish you had done differently the first time around? I’d...

    Why did my roo do this?

    Greetings! I am new to having chickens, and my 4 are now 19wks old. I have 3 pullets and a cockerel (I ordered 4 pullets, but so it goes. I love my cockerel and glad I got him rather than any other chicken). I’ve a pullet whom I am trying to ease into allowing me to hold her without fear. Today...

    Mixing bantams with regular sized chicks?

    I’ve order only 3 day old bantams that will hatch March 2nd. They only come straight run, as per usual. I’m considering riding sexed hens of regular sized breeds in order to hedge my bets that I’ll have some hens (or maybe I’ll need to start a bachelor flock?)... Is there anything I ought to be...

    Greetings from a new member!

    I wanted backyard chickens for as long as I can remember. I grew up in the suburbs and no one in my family was ever interested in anything that relates to a more rural lifestyle. I begged for chickens as a teenager, and recall a lot of eye rolling from my extended family as they dismissed my...
