My hen has been acting a bit off today. She's a bit lethargic....almost weak. She's up and moving, eating and drinking. She's moving slow and laying in weird places or standing in one spot for longer periods of time. I brought her inside, gave her an Epsom salt soak, some egg and yogurt mixed...

So yesterday, one of my hens started acting a bit lethargic. She seems weak, but she's eating and drinking. She's walking a bit slow and laying in random places. I gave her some extra calcium and an epsom salt soak for fifteen minutes. I put her in a crate with some pine shavings. Her poop...

We have a Pekin

Well, my husband and I expanded our flock. We went from 8 chickens to 12 and a duck which meant we needed a new coop. So up for sale is our old coop! It's only two years old and has been well maintained. We built it using only treated wood. The roof, which is removable, has been layer with...

I fixed that one quickly!!!! Oh my!!!

My duck is mixed in with my hens....she will eventually sleep in the coop at night with them...what do you provide for your ducks for night?

Are ducks seasonal layers?

Now, that is interesting! My husband brought home a black sex-linked and I had no clue what that meant! Thanks for the info!

I have one that is a beautiful smokey grey with those traits and one that is a brown, tan, black mix with those traits. Of course at the feed store they were labeled ameraucanas, but I figured only time would tell.

Hah! Isn't that the truth!

I've read a lot of about people saying that they have ameraucanas, but they're really easter eggers. Is there a way to tell a difference?

Mealworms!!!! They love mealworms! Mine run when they hear the bag!

Thank you for the info!!!!

I meant ducks. This is my first time with a duck...I've read a few things, but I always have more questions. We have a great shelter that we made for our chickens for the winter...so I think she'll be fine.

I'll have to try that! Inexpensive?

I have always handled my chicks. When they're chicks, they are much more timid. But as adults, most of mine don't bolt....they usually come running to me...sometimes I even joke that I'm the pied piper of chickens! They even peck me for attention and scratches. It just takes time.

We had Guineas and man they sure do sound the alarm!

I laid linoleum down in the bottom of my coop and then I usually use cardboard, because it's easy clean up....any other suggestions? I don't have a large coop...custom built.

Eight of eight laid today!!!! :)
