    Chicken run and swimming pool

    I didn't know whether to post this on this forum or pool maintenance forum, but I decided here. This is the first year we have a pool and the best placement for it was right in front of our fenced in chicken run. I've had a few algae situations and I've noticed it usually starts on the side...

    Older chickens kicking younger ones out of nesting box

    We have 6 hens that we've had for a year. Our newest ones just started to lay eggs but we're finding the eggs in the run instead of the nesting boxes which is in the coop. We believe the older hens are kicking them out. Could we just put some milk crates with hay in them in a corner of the run...

    Is there no store bought filter

    My son has 7 (soon to be 3) ducks that he built a pond for. As usual, he got himself into something without doing research so now it's my job to try to figure out a plan to filter it.

    Khaki Campbells head color

    We have 4 khaki Campbells that are 9 weeks old. It looks like 2 of them are drakes according to their feathers and quacks. Does every drake get a black or green colored head because the 2 that we believe are drakes aren't that much darker (if at all) then the 2 that are females?

    Isa Brown Gender

    My son bought 6 leghorns, 6 Rhode Island Reds, and 6 Isa Browns 2 months ago. Only the Isa's were not sexed, but from what I'm reading, if at the time they're hatched they're brown, that means they're hens. If they're white, they're roosters. He got them about a week old and they were all...

    Why are they doing this

    My son has 10 chickens. 6 of them are around the age that they should be to start laying eggs soon. I'm in the backyard a lot and have noticed for the first time a number of them are in the coop scratching and moving the straw around. They're doing that, not only in the nesting boxes, but all...

    Is this a hen or a rooster?

    My son recently started raising chickens. He bought 4 white leghorns. He was told that one of them was about 4 weeks old while the other 3 are around 3 weeks old. He's slightly bigger than the others, but I've realized that his comb is also a lot larger than the other ones. I've never been...
