    Thought I'd ordered a dead duck...

    So, I order meat and produce through a state co-op online. Long(ish) story short, I thought I was ordering a dead, processed duck...turns out I ordered a live juvenile Chocolate Muscovy. Laugh it up, I know. I have a backyard flock of 7 chicken hens. I'm to recieve this duck (female) in a...

    Stubborn hen lays eggs in the shed.

    My flock of 5 free-range in my backyard just about every day. Most of them have already done their laying by the time I let them out of their coop...except for one.

    Ideas for run?

    We recently expanded the run for our 3 girls with the idea of keeping them in there more often than not. (we love having them roam around our yard, but poop all over our patio...not so much). So now their run is roughly 6 x 8 (using an estimated guess here). It's all dirt. I'm wondering if...

    Introducing new hen - different breed/age?

    Hey everyone, I'm new on here, but I've used this wonderful forum as a go-to source for many questions in the past so hopefully someone on here can answer my question and/or put my mind at ease about the situation in my backyard right now... We have a small backyard flock which, until...
