    Little Limp

    Hi, everyone. I just got a batch of 14 chicks from Meyer; only 1 passed and the rest are doing amazing! However, we have one chick with a limp. It looks like it's gotten a little bit better over the past week I've had them, but it's still noticeable. She can walk for a few steps and then...

    Do I go big, or go small?

    I've ordered some chicks from Meyer, and I added a silver penciled rock pullet to my order coming on May 3. I checked again, and the dark Brahma is now available for that week as well. Both look similar, very pretty penciled pattern, and now I'm stuck between the dark Brahma and the silver...

    Pecking and Eating Eggs

    Hi. We are having an egg pecking/eating problem between our 7 birds. We have 4 pullets that are just starting to lay, and 3 older girls (maybe around 3-4 years?) who still lay every now and then. I walked into our coop today to find 2 out of the older birds eating 2 freshly laid eggs in one of...

    Chicken Scratch Poultry

    Hi. I've been looking for a good place online to buy female silkie pullets / female silkie chicks. In the past, we have gotten our silkies from local places, but they were pretty ratty, pretty sure it was due to too much interbreeding. I wanted to find a good place locally (in California)...

    I need my Chicken Enclosure to be Fox Proof

    Hi. We are just starting a chicken coop build for our new pullets. We are redoing their coop, and making a fenced run area (6 feet high, 250 feet perimeter) and we will attach it to our duck pen (6 feet high, 150 feet perimeter). We have a fox den about 200 yards from the coop and run, and...

    Mixing Mama Duck with the Babies

    Hi. Last year, about March-ish, we got two Pekin ducks from Tractor Supply, Daffy (drake), and Squirt (duck). Squirt has gone very broody, started about a week ago, and is trying very hard to hatch her eggs. We did not want to have more Pekins running around; if we got more ducks, we wanted...

    Which rooster should I get?

    Hi. I've been doing some research on what rooster to get for our flock but I wanted some input. We have an all-female flock of 18 hens and wanted to merge the chicken and the duck pens together (one drake and one duck). We also are having a problem with foxes in the backyard, although all...

    Was thinking of ordering a porcelain d'uccle, black silkie, and other breeds from MPC. Does anyone have any experience with them? Is the quality worth the money lol

    Possible Congested Nose

    I just got a few ducklings a few weeks ago from tractor supply and have been keeping them in a large tub in the house (not bathtub). I was about to hit the hay and checked in on them before I went to bed, and realized that one of them was panting. I turned the heat lamp off and waited for...
