    My Toms are Obsessed with Me - Is this Normal Behavior?

    I bought my 4 Narragansetts at just 2 days old. They are now 6 months old. I ended up with 3 toms and 1 hen. My toms are so incredibly sweet to me. But they are obsessed with me. The dominant one has now started pecking on my glass door looking for me in the morning. They all hang around...

    Muscovy Drake Trouble - Mating with my Chickens

    I have 2 Muscovy Drakes that I have raised since they were 3 weeks old. I was hoping for a mating pair, but that did not end up being the case. My favorite duck is now forcing himself on half my flock of chickens. This morning he was on my rooster and I am pretty sure he made contact with him...

    Need Help Sexing 3 Month Old Narragansett Turkeys.

    I know for sure that one of the turkeys pictured is a tom. I believe I also have a hen, but I am unsure of one of them. I am including several pictures. In the first 2 pics, the tom is the closest to the hen house. I believe the one in the middle is possibly a hen? Definitely unsure of the last...

    Are Muscovy Ducks Lazy?

    I have two 7 week old baby muscovy ducks. They don't really walk around much, but prefer to lay down. I have seen them both run, so I don't think they have issue with their legs. They just seem lazy. They will walk a "very" short ways and then they both plop down and they both plop down at the...

    4 Week Old Baby Turkeys Fighting??

    I have 4 baby turkeys that turned 4 weeks old today. They are all very loving toward each other, but this morning 2 of them were fighting. I think they are both Toms. Both had their feathers pulled down toward the ground and one had his tail feathers completely spread. It was kinda funny to see...

    3 Week Old Turkey doing a Mating Dance???

    I have four 3 week old Narrangansett turkeys. I had them outside playing today since it is warm and one of the baby turkeys pulled their wing down and started dancing around the other ones. What was he/she doing? Does that mean it is a Tom. It looked just like some of the "dances" I have seen...

    Baby Turkeys!! Breed Unimportant. Located in Lexington, NC

    I would like to buy a few baby turkeys. Breed is not very important to me since I want them only for pets. I am located in Lexington (Triad Area), North Carolina. I know I can buy them online, but I certainly do not need 20 baby turkeys, lol.

    Yesterday I took in a partially blind chicken from someone who keeps hundreds of chickens. She was born blind in one eye. They had contemplated putting her down because she is constantly picked on. On our drive home I noticed she kept coughing. When we got home I fed her and she ate 2 huge...

    Check out this HUGE Egg my Ameraucana layed!!

    I could not believe it when I checked the egg boxes yesterday. My Ameraucana produced an egg of gigantic proportions! I put the egg with eggs from my RIR's for comparison. I can not even close the top of the egg carton all the way. That had to be painful for my poor girl. Sorry for poor quality...

    32 Week Old RIR's not Laying

    I have 4 RIR's. According to the woman that sold them to me, I estimate their age at approx. 32 weeks. I have had them for almost 2 months. I initially thought that 3 out of the 4 were laying, but now I am positive only 2 of the 4 are laying. Shouldn't the other 2 be laying as well at 32 weeks...

    My little bantam cochin rooster has been congested and sneezing going on 2 weeks. I have been watching him closely. He is still active, happy, and eating well. None of my other hens are affected. I hate to medicate unless absolutely necessary, but I broke down over the weekend and purchased a...

    Best Poop Removal Method

    I let my chickens run free at least 5 hours a day. I only have 6 chickens now, but plan on buying at least 6 more. I have 5 acres of pasture, but instead of hanging out in the pasture, they all hang out in my yard and driveway. Now we all know they tend to poop every couple minutes, so you can...

    My Ameraucana just laid 2 Eggs in One Day!!

    I did not even know chickens could lay 2 eggs in one day, but my Ameraucana did just that today. I got my first egg from her Saturday. She also laid Monday, Tuesday, and today. I know it had to be her because my other 4 hens are Rhode Island Reds. How common is this? I also find it odd that she...

    Cochin??

    I picked up this lil fella at Southern States yesterday. They told me he was a blue cochin and was born in the Spring. I am not very familiar with the breed, but I thought they were bigger. This guy is tiny. Smaller than my hens. He does not have the robust loud crowing like most roosters, plus...
