our drakes are over mating the hens to the point that their feather on the back of their necks are gone. I have been trying to separate them but they get out. Does anyone know if they slow down mating sometime soon? Someone gave them to us because he couldn't keep them. we do have too many...
Hi
Question... I found a couple clutches of eggs.. I have chickens, pekin ducks and call ducks that are all mating. So not quite sure who's they are yet. I put them in at night but my question is what happens when they start laying on them all day and night?? Do I keep them outside with the eggs??
I took 3 bantam and 1 easter egger chickens from a friend that couldn't have them anymore. I already have 19 hens and 4 pekin ducks. i have had them separated by a fence from my other birds and then at night in the coop but also fenced off also.. how long should i do this for?? it's getting...
I have a duck egg that has 9 days left. I have had it on its side with the pointy end slightly pointed down. i didn't realize it was supposed to be completely down so the egg is standing up... should I switch it?? or is it too late?
my pekin duck is acting a little strange, she barely walks around with her friends and she sits under the tree most of the day. she is about 7 months old and normally very active. they get a lot of exercise and eat multi flock grain and is able to free roam. any thoughts?
I found a clutch outside with my hen laying on it. I'm not sure what to do because I put the chickens in the coop at night so she can't lay on them... do I move them inside the coop?? Its getting chilly at night..
my 4 month old seabright bantam has started attacking us and I NEED to figure out how to tame him! He is a wonderful rooster to the hens but not so much to us. I'm hoping for some advice of what to do as I don't want to find him a new home.... Thanks!
