    Hens caught in the rain = sneezing

    Okay so Texas actually got some rain! Thank you God!! Problem was that my hens all stood in it like they were in shock!! I have seen them in the rain before and they usually run in the barn and hang out until it's done. This time it came down hard and fast and they just stood there. It was...

    Wazine and ducks

    I have three ducks that free range with my chickens and I wondered if the Wazine wormer would hurt them. I have read mixed reviews on this. I know ducks tend to drink a lot and therefore don't want to hurt them sine they are in the witht he chickens. Now they do have their own "pond", i.e small...

    Do I let my standard hen hatch bantam eggs

    I have a broody Australorp hen and no rooster for her (besides my Bantam Cochins and they try but, that's another story). I found two of my little bantam cochin eggs and thought I would let my Australorp hatch them out since she is wanting to sit. My other thirteen Australorp hens should be...

    Anybody have an almost adult Australorp Roo

    Okay so I am super impressed with Ideal Poultry, when I bought fourteen Australorp hens - that is exactly what I got! I mean they guarantee that %90 are hens. BUT, I was expecting at least one roo. Frankly, I love the breed so much though that I was hoping for that ten percent chance of getting...

    Guineas in time out

    I have fourteen Australorps that are suddenly being terroized by my stealth guineas. They free range during the day and all pile into a very large coop at night (used to be tack stall) and have pretty much got along until now. I love my three guineas, but I put two of them in a very large dog...

    FREE Adult Ducks-Pekin and Khaki Campbell

    I have too many drakes. Of only five ducks - three turned out to be drakes! I have one Pekin Drake and one absolutely beautiful Khacki Campbell drake. They both are about five months old. I would allow them both to go to one owner or I might consider sending my Khacki with our Mallard hen...

    How long do eggs last outside?

    All my beautiful Australorps have started laying, but I just found a pile of eggs in a corner of our barn. For the most part they have been laying in the coop in their nest boxes. I have no idea how long they have been there. I have been checking the barn and surrounding area because we also...

    Wobbly keet - hatching injury or neuro disease??

    Wow I was just reading over a lot of the posts and it sure seems there is a lot of wobbbling and other neuro type things going on. I received a shipment of keets, bantam cochins, and silkies from a well known poultry place last Thursday from down here. I ordered five keets and got six and...

    Do French Guineas really have to be articificially inseminated?

    So I ordered some French Guinea keets and just wondered if it is true that they will not be having babies on their own? I just read that and was very disappointed! Thank you! Karen
