    Hey y'all! I haven't been on here in years. We live in town and have had backyard chickens for years. We got some pekin ducks in the spring, 2 hens and a drake, as ducklings. They have access to grass and clean water all day long and we feed DuMor layer pellets twice a day. It is costing a...

    I think a hawk just grabbed one of my chickens. We were outside and heard a commotion, but never saw the bird. They're fenced in and we're in the city there wasn't a dog, opossum, raccoon, etc so it had to come from the air. There were feathers everywhere, but she got away and ran into the coop...

    Can you keep a goose with ducks?

    Good Morning! I asked this on the NC thread (only one I'm on), but can't get an answer, so hoping you those with geese can help me out! I have a big section of my yard closed off for the chickens to roam around and a rather large pen for my pair of crested pekin ducks. I don't keep the...

    I think there's some confusion as to what I'm asking, if I had a rooster it wouldn't be with my ducks anyway, it would be with my chickens. My question is can a goose be kept with a duck (like do they have similar internal anatomy) that it would be fine for a duck to be in there or does a goose...

    I don't have roosters, only male I have is 1 drake, trying to figure out if it's safe to have a female goose in with him and the other female duck?

    A male duck could potentially really harm one of your hens if he's mating with them. Not to be crude, but drakes have a 9" corkscrew shaped barbed penis and a hen is not meant to take that on as roosters don't. I wasn't sure if female geese were more like the ducks or the chickens?

    BEST Famous Women inspired Chicken names????

    We hatched eggs and waited to name until we were sure the genders of our birds. The rooster is Cluck Norris. His ladies need some fun names that are chicken related and inspired by famous people (actors, singers, celebrities, authors, whoever). What are your favorite fun chicken names...

    This was posted on the Bragg Wives recipe page, but it intrigued me so thought I'd ask on here. This is from a supermarket egg. She thought it was a double yolker, but the white "yolk" wasn't liquidy it was more hard. Is it an egg within an egg? Or just some anomaly from the gmo feed and...

    Hey guys! I have a chicken meat question. We processed some birds and immediately deboned and froze in portions. I pulled several out a couple days ago to defrost in the fridge to use this week. We are unexpectedly going out of town until Sunday. Should I leave it in the fridge or should I...

    So this may be a stupid question, but there aren't orpingtons that don't have single combs right??? I only recently found out leghorns can have rose combs, but I've only ever seen Orpingtons with single combs. They're telling me it's an orpington, I thought it was a blue Wyandotte...

    I have a question: This isn't my bird, a friend of mine posted these pics of her 4 month old chicken on facebook and asked if it was a hen or rooster. Like 30 people said hen, I am the only one who thinks this is a rooster. I know I'm far from an expert, but I'm curious for those I know...

I know we're not supposed to fill this board with for sale posts, but we're PCSing overseas (military move) and selling off all of our animals (laying hens, point of laying pullets, chicks, ducks, rabbits, even the dog). If anyone is...
