Hello! We’ve recently introduced some new chickens into our flock and decided to get rid of the rooster that was with the older ladies. We ended up adding two new roosters with the new chickens. Well now our older chickens have completely stopped laying all together. Is this because they’re...
Hello! I’ve only had my ducks since April and winter seems to creep up fast. I’m curious as to what people do with their ducks in the winter to make sure they’re warm and safe. They have a small coop but other than that they’re outside all day. Any winter advice for ducks would be great!
This is our newer roo and he’s beautiful! But is the red around his face too big? Idk if I’ve ever seen one so big. Our older roosters red around the face is about the quarter of that size.
I’ve noticed this for awhile with one of our pekins but haven’t been able to catch it on camera. I didn’t know if anyone else’s ducks did this or if this is a sign of something going on that needs to be checked out. She seems ok otherwise but always does this head bobbing thing.
This chicken is around two months old, and I still can’t figure out if it’s a girl or a boy. And I’m not even sure of the breed. Any help or advice on what people think this chicken might be please let me know!
I’ll show pics of when it was a born to now at 5 weeks old. We know it’s part cochin but what chicken doesn’t have tail feathers? It looks so funny compared to the other chicks! We hatched it from our own chickens eggs and non of our chickens has tails like this one! 🤷🏼♀🧐
I have 4 female ducks and 2 drakes. They’ll be 3 months old on the 27th. I noticed tonight one of my Pekin females had feathers missing on her neck. Would one of the drakes have done it? Are they even old enough to start doing that to the females yet? I haven’t noticed any behavior like that but...
We recently added a new rooster to our flock because someone was getting rid of him. Our older rooster quite literally got his feathers ruffles by this. I haven’t seen them fight but they’re always on guard when the other comes around. And this morning I noticed our older rooster with feathers...
I’m pretty sure the black one is a rooster but the other one I can’t figure out? She’s making noises like she wants to crow but to me she looks like a female..any help would be great! I also don’t know what kind the black one is so if anyone has an idea I’d love to hear it!
I was told when I posted a couple months ago that this duck was a Cayuga but she looks more like a khaki. I didn’t know if she was mixed with something? I just love her color. She’s a little over 2 months old.
I feel like I post a lot but the internet is always saying multiple different things when I look things up. I’m just curious at what age ducks are fully grown? My two males are much larger than my 4 females. But the girls seem so small and they’re 10 weeks old. The Pekins may be a little older...
My Rouen drakes are a little over two months old. Their heads are already starting to get the green color, really starting to come in around their beaks. They’ve had a green sheen on their heads for weeks now but it’s really getting green around their beaks. Is this the normal age that their...
Has anyone else had a chicken get it’s eye pecked out by another chicken? I just noticed this chickens eye was missing. She’s been acting broody lately so idk if she’s been fighting with other chickens! Just curious if anyone else has dealt with this before.
This is our duck coop and I’m wanting to ground them for a couple of days to get them used to it. Does it look big enough for 6 ducks to be cooped up in it for 2 days? I feel bad not letting them out but I really want them to get used to their coop and going in at night! Help!
