So we just changed the duck bedding, water and feed. All seemed fine. Less than an hour later I get a call (being housed at neighbor's) that a ducking is acting funny. He's flopping over when trying to prevent and very wobbly on his legs. Have him in a separate box at the moment. Seems to...

We've noticed that since we switched from a small coop in an electric poultry pen to free-range birds who roost by the house, we've not lost any birds. We were losing them at a rate of about 1 a month. Thinking it has something to do with the motion detecting solar lights on the house. We've...

I'm supposed to pick up some "meat ducks", I'm assuming pekins, in about an hour. They are free range and while I know with muscovies, once they're grabbed, you carry them up close to the wings so you don't get scratched, idk how to handle these guys. Is it the same? How do I go about...

We just noticed one of our guineas has its head almost upside down and can't walk or fly straight. There aren't any local vets that can see us until Monday, is there anything we can do to help it?

No, not at all. We've had a big problem with raccoons for the party few years & haven't successfully kept a flock alive yet.

When I've caught "wild" chickens before, I make a big pile of those dried meal worms, let them easy on them for a day or 2, & sneak as close as I can get after they get comfortable eating. Then I throw a blanket over them. Takes a few days but works for me.

Well he survived the first night!

He's pretty big (although I've not had a rooster before) & docile until he's ticked off. He's in the barn testing out the repairs to the chicken stall, I sure hope he makes it through the night.

Chicken wire does not keep them out. We have stalls built from chicken wire & 2x4s in our barn & we've lost 3 entire flocks to raccoons over the years. They just rip right through it. We're currently building a chicken tractor from 1x1 welded wire fencing.

This guy was dumped at our neighbors & I'm on my way to pick him up. Any idea what he may be?

Howdy! My "coop" is actually an independent stall built in our low barn, and so it has the cement floor that is in the rest of the barn. My fiance (who lived here for years) says that his family never used bedding for the chickens in there, and if they were cold they'd just go up on the...

I just got 8 chicks yesterday, I'm happy to have this breed. For those who have let them breed with other ISA Browns, do future generations have lower egg production?

Howdy! After moving around from town to town quite a bit, I've settled on a couple of acres in north central Indiana. It has an existing long, low shed that had been previously sectioned off into stalls, one for chickens, so....hey, good time to start, right? We had a flock of 6 last year...
