So the duck went to his new home today. I will let Annie out tonight in the evening. I'll let you know how it goes.

We 21 hens and one male duck. He is getting a new home because he mates with the chickens. Not good.

My muscovy male had mated with her and would not leave her alone so she is by herself until he gets a new home. Thankfully he is molting and hasnt picked another one of my hens. We tried to separate him but he can fly over the fence. Just not when molting. Thank you for asking.

I posted this yesterday without a relpy. Maybe I'm not doing it right? So anyway here it goes again. I have a hen in her own pen. Our rooster is banging on the fence trying to get her. She will be let back out with the other hens soon but I was wondering if he will hurt her. He is acting very...

We have a hen that is in a pen by herself. Our rooster is attacking her through the chain link fence. Its like he is mad at her. My question is: she will be ready to be back with the others soon but will the rooster kill her or will it work out. I dont know anything about rooster behavior. We...

I need some advice with our male muscovy. He has been mating with one of our chickens. We have separated the two but its only a matter of time before he will start on another one. My question is if we get a female duck for him will he leave the chickens alone. I tried separating him but he flys...

thank you for the info. We may be able to get a kahki campbell. Are they also a large breed?

We have a muscovy male who needs a friend to keep him away from our chickens. Does anyone have an idea about which breed would suit him??

We have two bunnies in our run and coop. They come go as they please. they eat, sleep, and play with the hens. More often than not they are in the front yard or at the neighbors. They do what they want. I am thankful to have two boy bunnnies.(no babies)

This is exactly my question. I also have two buff orps doing this exact thing except they are in the same nest box. they are all poofy and they return as soon as I take them out. I have resorted to locking all a hens out of the coop in the afternoon just to get them out in the yard. Not getting...

Very good info. I am going to try the protien route. First im going to check better under the bushes and ferns in their run. Maybe I'll find the stash. Anyway, thanks everyone.

They seem perfect in every way. When they molted the feathers fell out new ones came in, they look fine. Good color, weight, and eating good. They are active. I feed layer pellet, oyster shell, scratch grain, fruits and veggies. Maybe i just have pet hens.

We have a BR,Andul, Sexlink,RR,Amer. These hens are 17months old. They were laying without fail till this sping when the started their first molt. Since then the RR is the only one still laying.How long does it take for a chicken to restart themselves? They act pefectly normal, just no eggs...

I have never given them any worming medicine. They have DE in the coop with the shavings and i mix it with the sand. they dust bathe everyday when they are out of the coop. So im not sure about mites but i will try to look for them. I do have a compost pile i see them sratching around the bottom...

I wrote last week about a possible egg bound. well she has recovered all on her own from whatever it was. Today i was out mowing and our wellsummer has dead in the corner. Now our RR is Dead also, all in a matter of hours. They freerange in the pms. is it possible that they are eating something...

We have a barred rock, when she poops it looks like her rear insides are pushing out and very little poop if anything is coming out. She is walking, eating, drinking she seems a litte slow and uninterested in anything. I dont know what to do.

Thanks everyone I think Ill just leave her alone and my DH can go without her bite sized eggs he loved so much.

So if she is broody how do I get her to change her ways?

We have a silkie hen who was laying an egg every day or so and about 6 weeks ago she layed her last one. She is about 10 months old. She has gotten real broody but will not lay an egg herself. What do we do? Thanks.

My husband came up with our coop name. I named our barred rock Cruella. She is the ruler of our roost.
