    Roo? Maybe?

    Ok, I'm going to try this one more time. This is a 8 week old chick that I suspect that might be a rooster. I can't really tell yet though. I could tell pretty much my White Rock rooster was one when he was a 4 week old rooster. This one is a mixed breed though. So I'm not sure how long it takes...

    Day 21 question?

    I don't think they are going to hatch :(

    Today is 23, the temp dropped down to 97 and humidity was over 80% there is no sign of life in the eggs. They are not peeping, moving and there is no pipping. I thought I heard a chick peep yesterday morning but I have not heard any thing since. So I'm thinking the humidity may have killed them. :(

    Day 21 no chicks yet

    I made a post in the Old Broody Hatch A Long thread that my broody hen had abandoned her eggs on day 15. My husband and I had to make a emergency incubator to try and save her eggs. So far they have been doing well. I candled some of the eggs today and unfortunately some of them have died. But I...

    I have a broody hen question.

    I was wondering how hard it would be to separate her from the rest of my chickens. She has been setting on some eggs since yesterday. I checked in on my chickens this morning and the other hens had chased her off her nest. But when I went back to check on her later today she was setting on her...

    Should I let them free range or not?

    I have two 1 yr old ducks and have had them for about 3 months. They have been staying in a coop and run since I have had. I thought about maybe letting them free range but I'm scared they won't stay or go back in their run/pen. Our neighbor does have a pond. Do you all think they will go to my...

    What kind of ducks are these?

    I got these ducks from a lady about a month ago. She didn't tell me breed they are and I tried doing a google search. But I can not find any breed that really look like them. They may just be a mix breed duck. She just told me that the darker one was hatched last summer. The lighter colored one...
