    TSC chicken laying massive eggs

    I got these two hens from a friend of mine, that got them from TSC for .50 if I remember right. They were the ones left over that didn’t sell. We have no clue what breed they are. They lay dark brown eggs, not chocolate but darker than my others. They lay daily but are more flighty than my...

    Duck coop in warm climate

    I live in the southeast US. We have very mild winters here. I am trying to come up with a plan for duck housing but not really sure WHAT to plan if that makes sense. I have had Muscovies for approximately 12 years but they have all been free range using my well house, shed, barn, or even a...

    A new family!

    Our hen, Coco, just hatched her brood of eleven! Aren’t they so cute?? My two year old is smitten with them. She loves to watch them. We are trying to let Coco raise them since we got rid of the duckling/chick eating pig we had. She is so used to free ranging, I’m praying she stays in her...

    Sneezing chickens

    I have had one hen the last couple days sneezing. Acting fine otherwise but did have a messy rear. Now today when I went to feed I heard multiple sneezing. Granted we have had warm weather and now cold again. Could it be something requiring antibiotics? If so, which one and how much? These are...

    Does your rooster do this?

I have just never noticed this behavior from any of our previous roosters that I can recall. What has me concerned...

    Black Muscovy offspring yellow??

    Has anyone ever had two black Muscovy parents produce a solid yellow duckling with a dark bill? I have had Muscovy ducks for around 12 years and any that I have had has always been colored on top of their heads and backs with a yellow underside (unless of course it was a young white Muscovy...

    Where to buy Buff geese?

    Looking for a reputable place for Buff geese. I was going to get Cotton Patch but they can fly and with us living where we do that is not a good idea. Our ducks (Muscovy) can fly but the ones we have now stay home thank goodness...although some in the past did wonder outside our yard. Is there...

    Homemade duck pond

    My husband and I are going to build my daughter a duck pond for her ducks (3). We feel they would be happier in something bigger than a large kiddie pool. Any ideas? We are limited on money, but want to make it big enough for them and with material that will with stand them. Also, what size...

    Silkies

    I bought 7 Silkie chicks from the feed store (local guy raises them), and was wondering how much different are they from other chickens? Or are they different at all (shelter, feed, daily care). I know that their feathers aren't water repellent, but other than that? I also know that they are...
