Wow! What is that gorgeous green creature you have there?? I have never seen anything even close.

Oh... another quick thing I did think about was if I did keep him, could I take him on field trips to bodies of water so he could swim? Like is there an actual duck harness or something that would work (he doesn't love me enough to come back when I call him lol). I do see some on Google, but are...

I do want to reiterate, the park I was thinking about is super nice and again, is a bird sanctuary. Just not a federal one or anything. This is a link that shows tons of photos of how nice of a place I am talking about: Lafreniere Park (I hope that link actually works). There is also this short...

Hello all. I currently have 7 chickens and 1 Rouen duck Drake. I had two (brothers), but one passed away 2-3 weeks ago. I haven't been able to let them roam around with my chickens, as they always try to mount them and terrorize them. Now that the brother has died (and even before if I am...

Never mind. I found some info about the netting on other threads, but I may go with chicken wire over the top. I dunno.

Hi all. I have 9 chickens that live in a small coop/run combo. Now that they are all at least 8 months old, I have been having some major troubles that started about a week ago. Long story short, they are pecking each other's butts and I have one chicken who has been at the vet for the week...

I do wonder how "easy" that is to do for the general layperson (melt aluminum). Where would you get it? How much is it? What equipment do you need to melt it? I am all for that :) I have seen videos of it on YouTube.

I have the same problem with ants, only they are not bothering my birds, but biting the [insert expletives here] out of me. I currently have about 7 big bites from when I watered my ducks the other day. I need a way to try to control them that won't hurt the chickens and ducks as I allow them to...

And the verdict is......... Hen! We got our first egg from her on 8/2. A day or two before that, when I reached for her, she squatted, although I think only when I took her off-guard. I think she is resisting me being the alpha or the rooster :) Then that afternoon, while her and...

I live in the New Orleans metro area. It's funny, because most sites say Buff Orpington's are usually the most friendly, but Bubbles (our buff) is the most skiddish. Gerrilynn is definitely the friendliest and tries to eat anything hanging or odd off of our pants and shoes.

Thank you for posting this. I too am a new owner and was wondering why I can't get the chickens into the coop. It is very hot and humid here and I have been thinking about putting a vent up high to allow the hot air to exit, but even if it is storming, they stay out in the run getting wet. My...

No! No rooster :( Is there any way to tell for sure? I want to keep her, but I don't want my neighbors complaining and making me get rid of all of them. I did ask the store when I got my new pullets if they know of anyone who would take any roosters and not kill them, and they do, but I love...

It also makes me nervous because I am worried the neighbors will complain.

Hey everyone! I am a semi-new chicken owner (I had a couple a long time ago, but don't remember much about them), and I have a question about a sound one of my hens is making. I have been reading other people's posts about odd sounds, but without an actual audio file, I am not sure if this is...
