I originally posted this in the recipe section, but it was suggested that I try it over here, too
My sister has a small flock and we get eggs from her, but recently we've been finding that after we cook the eggs there are bluish patches or spots all through the white. The first time it happened...
My sister has a small flock and we get eggs from her, but recently we've been finding that after we cook the eggs there are bluish patches or spots all through the white. The first time it happened was with some eggs that I thought we might have just had longer than I thought, but then we just...
So after lots of uncertainty about our rescue, River, she laid her first egg this morning! :celebrate My daughters were freaking out excited, and River is so proud of herself she was just talking and talking about it. When I picked up her egg, she got more excited and more vocal, and wanted to...
I've been trying to get my indoor duck used to her harness so she can go outside with us now that it's getting warmer and get sunshine and forage. She was less than enthused about trying on her very fashionable vest today and was kicking her feet a lot. I didn't think anything of it until I got...
So this is the second time that unexpected poultry has landed in my lap, but I'm not complaining :D My daughters and I were in a local park today and saw a duck who was looking kind of tattered, dirty feathers, a couple small cuts on bill and foot, and one bad eye. It was there in the morning...

Hi everyone! I'm a new chicken mommy, just adopted my first chicken a few days ago. I was told she was an easter egger, probably between 8-10 weeks old. Someone rescued her from a cat thinking she was a baby hawk and brought her to our wildlife center. When I saw it was a chicken and not a hawk...
Hi, I'm a brand new chicken mommie (I think). It sort of just got dropped in my lap! I work at a wildlife center and someone came in today that said he had a baby hawk he found in his yard and wanted to know what he should do with it. I asked him if I could see it so I could tell him what kind...
