Hi guys, so I need help. One of my hens was acting strangely this morning, so i brought her inside because I thought it was cold, and she is doing better. BUT, she still isn't eating or drinking much, and is lethargic. She isn't pooping much either. Her stomach area seems somewhat swollen and...

Hi,
I recently got two Swedish ducks and brought them home. They were very scared of me but i figured that was normal. I introduced them to my chickens and the ducks got really scared. The chickens didn't try to attack them but the ducks still ran away. Today I can't even get them to leave...
I have two Austrolorps and will never be without them. They are so much fun. Mine will let me pet them and hold them. They really are some of the best breeds.

I think i'm still going to do Buff Orpingtons because we don't have extreme weather at all. I also like their yellow color much more than black. Just in case though, if i decide to do a mixed flock could i get a rooster of only one kind ang still get purebred chickens???? Is there such thing as...
