    Day olds with establish flock?

    Hi everyone! So I’ve really been hoping that my 1-year old hens would start brooding more chicks but so far this doesn’t seem the case! I’m also desperate for more chickens because the demand for my eggs is so high! So I was thinking of buying more day- old chicks from the same hatchery I bought...

    Help! Ducks attacking chickens!

    HELP! My two female ducks have gone broody (I have 10 hens as well) and the single drake and alternating duck is violently protecting the entire coop, including all 4 empty nest boxes! My hens can’t lay so I’ve since put all three ducks in a separate area within the coop, but they can’t stay...

    Two Silkies, 4 months, help sexing?

    The blue silkie has a more reddish comb and wattle; however, the black and white acts more “protective”, like pecking at my hand if I go in to pick them up.

    Loud hen then “wheezing” sound?

    Hi there! I’m not sure why I can’t post short videos, but on the app I’m not able to. In short, I got home from the store today to extremely loud BOK BOK BAKAWK! Sounds from the coop in a nesting box. I watched for maybe 40 minutes and went back inside. When I came out she had laid an egg (just...

    I found my first egg today! My buff orp laid a pretty little egg and she’s just 16 weeks old!

    Is this okay? I really was not wggspecting anything for another couple months, but found three stray eggs in the brush around the coop and got my nest boxes in order and she hopped right in! I’m so happy and proud, but not getting my hopes up for any other early layers. (Note, the coop wasn’t...

    Help! Lily has a large lump on her breast.

    Yesterday mod- morning I went out to check on my girls and found lily had gotten herself wedged under the shed- metal siding. I had to dig under her to get her out. I checked her out, and didn’t find anything . She was out eating and drinking and foraging with the other right after and all day...

    Northern Canadian Coop coming together

    Hi there! My chicks are going to be 8 weeks old this week and I’m frantically getting my coop together! It’s mid-20s (Celsius) here during the day and lows of 5c at night. Can my little chickers spend their time in the coop and outside now? The nest boxes aren’t 100% yet, but they’re also not...

    I love my chicks SO much!

    My chicks are two weeks old, mix of eggers and meaties. I’m looking after my meat chicks the same but trying not to become emotionally attatched haha. But I love them all so much! I try and bring up one or two chicks each night to sit with me while I watch tv. Mostly they bunker down to nap but...

    Hiya from the great white North!

    Hi everyone! I just got my first 16 chicks- 11 eggers and 5 meat , on March 25. I also just recently moved to northern Ontario 4 months ago and have absolutely ZERO friends up here, and with this self- isolation I feel lonelier than ever! I’ve loved looking at care posts and have learned a LOT...
