These birds are 9 weeks old (they will be 10 weeks on Thursday) and I originally believed they were cornish x meat birds. However now they seem too small to be this breed. They are kinda big but I'm trying to decide if they will live long lives or if I should butcher them. I have no experience...

Hi so I just got these 6 chicks from TSC. The yellow ones I think are cornish rocks, but I really hope not because I'm looking for egg layers. If they are Cornish rocks, will they make okay egg layers or no? The other 4 all came from the same bin labeled pullets. It did not however give the...

Hi. My rooster's foot is swollen and I'm not quite sure what to do. He limps on it and doesn't put too much weight on it. I brought him into my insulated, warmer garage with my two hens in a dog crate with a heat lamp. He's 4 months old and I thought it was because of the cold so I brought him...

Hi goat and chicken lovers! I would like to build a new goat house but am stumped for ideas. The ideal house would need to house 2-3 fainting goats, be easy to clean, and be nice and warm for winter. Our pen is 25ft. By 25ft. Also if anyone has any good duck house ideas that'd be gladly...

Hi I am very interested in getting a peacock. I live in minnesota and was wondering if they could handle the cold or are they just like chickens when it comes to that. Also do they make good pets? They would have to get along with goats, ducks, and chickens. And for my last question, would it...

Hi I've been looking for a breed of goat to get and I finally found one, fainters. I found a breeder near me and she gave me the option to either bottle feed them or wait until weaning. I really want to bottle feed but was wondering if this is a good idea. I wouldn't be able to feed them...

Hi I know winter is a ways away but here in Minnesota winters can be cold. Since this will be my first winter with ducks and chickens I'm not quite sure what to expect. I know that chickens feet freeze but ducks don't so what should I do when winter comes? My plan was to just keep lots of...

Okay so I got two ducklings from tsc and when they grew up one flew away. The other duck would not fly away so I found three male rouens that were around the same age to keep him company. Now they all are completely mature and are constantly fighting. The biggest rouen and the mallard always...
