    Co Parenting Hens

    Question for ya'll...do hens usually do this? My black silkie, Poppy, was broody January into February so I got her three chicks to adopt. She has been an amazing little mama. Well my white silkie, Cleo, was broody February into March but I couldn't get more chicks so I just waited it out. I...

    Poop in the nesting boxes! Help or Advice needed TY

    Thank you so much! I moved some things around, added a third and much higher roost, lowered the nest boxes a bit, and added a few fake eggs. The lowest bar allows the silkies to jump up to the second bar which will hopefully keep them out of the nesting boxes. It wasn't just my silkies...

    Poop in the nesting boxes! Help or Advice needed TY

    My chickens keep sleeping in the nesting boxes and I'm not sure how to get them to stop. My coop is about 8'x8' and I have 18 chickens. Four silkies, one cochin bantam, and the rest are regular sized. Half sleep on the roost bar but the rest are in my nest boxes which are full of poop now! We...

    Help Barred Rock Hen or Roo?

    ok maybe I need to move my roost bars then. It started out with just my silkies sleeping in the nesting boxes because they couldn't reach the bar but now half my chickens sleep in the boxes. I may need to post some pictures and get help with what I've got going on.

    Help Barred Rock Hen or Roo?

    I have another question regarding our nesting boxes. A few of my ladies sleep in the nesting boxes at night, that won't deter the hens from laying eggs in them right? My chickens are just about 20 weeks now and no eggs.

    Help Barred Rock Hen or Roo?

    I have a two Barred Rocks they're over four months old now. One is definitely a hen but this other one I can't tell! It's comb is much bigger but I don't feel like its feathers are that much longer and it hasn't crowed but that might be because I have another Roo that is more dominant or...

    Two Khaki Campbell Ducks near Gig Harbor, WA

    I have two female ducks that are about 12 weeks old. I would love to keep them but one of them starts quacking really loudly at 5:30 in the morning and I'm sure my neighbors are not loving it. They have been well taken care of and loved. Let me know if you're interested. Thanks!

    Uh Oh...

    Oops posted early. Anyway that top tail feather has me nervous. Daisy is a Rhode Island Red. Can any of you tell me if our Daisy is a Daisy or a Duke?

    Uh Oh...

    I had to rehome two Roosters last year. I got three more chicks back in March and I'm nervous that we accidentally got ourselves another Rooster.

    Chick introduction...hope it goes smoothly!

    I will be introducing three, six week old chicks to my flock of four, nine month old hens. This is my set up right now. My hens so far seem really unphased by the chicks presence in the coop. I haven't seen any aggressive behavior or pecking from my hens at all. Does this mean that when the...

    Duckling with leg quivers?

    I am new to ducks. I have two khaki campbells that are about 4 weeks old now. I keep noticing that one of them has really quivery legs. Not all the time, and it seems to walk fine. When it is just standing though it's legs shake really bad. The other duckling doesn't seem to have this...

    Duck housing question...

    Thanks for the responses! I looked into it further and decided it would just be cheaper to get a dog house and put our own fencing and stuff around it. Then we can give them the room they need and put a small pool/pond in it as well.

    Duck housing question...

    Here's the website for it... http://queenbeecoupons.com/chicken-coop-or-rabbit-hutch-199-99-shipped-reg-473-99/ It's 62"x32"x42". Thats mostly what I was curious about was the ramp. The ducks would free range in our back yard mostly but if they need to be kept in for a few days just thought...

    Duck housing question...

    I just got two Khaki Campbell ducklings for my birthday. Can ducks live in a coop like this? I've mostly been researching baby duck care and haven't quite ventured into permanant living situations but this coop is selling for a really good deal but I wasn't sure. Any input would be greatly...
