    New chicks

    Apparently the "missing chicken" that I thought a predator had gotten wasn't missing. She came back with three chicks! They are adorable... however.. I do not know how this works?? She won't go in the coop with the other chickens and didn't go back to her nest either. She sat with babies under...

    it was pretty bad, even the ducks were after her.. this morning all her eggs are gone except one.. a squirrel dug under and got them all (game camera) so now she is out and about.. I think she has stopped brooding. the rooster went after her but it seems the others have left her alone. She is at...

    re-introduce broody chicken back to the flock?

    I have a chicken who made a nest outside the coop. I put a chicken run over her to protect her and put a game camera up to see what was eating her eggs. The begining it was squirrels, after I put the run over her to protect her a raccoon came along. I am afraid that the raccoon will dig under...

    I now have one missing chicken (white) I can't find her and its been three days. We kept the game camera up and noticed that there is a raccoon trying to get at the one I found under the shed.

    chicken has at least 24 eggs she is sitting on!!

    obviously this is my first time raising chickens and ducks, wasn't sure what to expect, something did get into the eggs that were outside of the nest. She is under the shed on the outside, you can only see maybe two inches of her under there. the 6-8 eggs were not even under the shed, they were...

    Duckins???

    My rooster is a Brahma (golden) and is HUGE! He is about 20 weeks now and is now a lot taller than my Pekins. The Pekins were at the top of the pecking order but now the rooster has won :) So this must be common then, he will bypass all the females (5) and go right for my duck.. my poor duck...

    Duckins???

    I was shocked.. I didn't think that would happen. They are free range so keeping them apart will be hard. I thought the duck was male. since I have two and they both mate with each other. umm...

    Help! my duck has a sore foot..

    regarding my male duck and his sore foot.. thanks guys.. he is no longer limping.. however, he is still not moving a lot and panting. He has been doing this off and on since he was a baby.. so is this maybe a birth defect? When he was little he would lay around a lot more than the female, and he...
