    Two pullets excluded from the flock. Advice needed

    1) If a chicken with a low rank is treated perfectly and is pampered with treats, she will learn to not obey chicken social order. 2) Leave them be. Every flock has its lowest and highest ranking bird. Respect that. 3) No culling is needed. If your birds roost together, and do not harm each...

    Rat Snake Ate Cermic Eggs...

    I agree with chickengeorgeto. Many snakes will regurgitate prey they find too big. I'd keep a lookout as you could (possibly) find them laying on the ground where they were thrown up (if the snake decides to do that).

    2018 BYC Calendar - Your Pictures Needed!

    I searched through my pictures and found some pics of our top rooster Garnet! He's a little roughed up from putting the cockerels in their place, but he's still happy and healthy!

    My MilleFluer d'Uccle Fell in the waterer

    I agree @ChickNanny13 I'd probably heavily dilute it in water and add more if necessary. less is more in this situation.

    My MilleFluer d'Uccle Fell in the waterer

    I'm no expert, but i've seen many commercials showing dawn dish soap doing wonders for ducklings that were damaged by oil spills, so maybe a safe dish soap could help remove the stickiness.

    My MilleFluer d'Uccle Fell in the waterer

    I agree with ChickNanny13 about the bath. I'd just make sure to prevent this from happening again, to put marbles or the little glass vase rock thingies inside the waterer, and to avoid using chemicals to wash/rinse/clean the chick.

    Starter Ducks

    Hello! I have owned chickens for a couple years now and i am thinking about getting a few ducks. I have a 3 acre piece that is about 30 feet from my house that i'm going to start putting poultry in. A pond (most likely 1/4 acre in size) is going to be built and completed before we get any...

    Questions for Coop vs Run

    1) the coop is where they sleep (the structure) and the run is the enclosure that the chickens can go in to experience "outside". 2) people mainly lock chickens in the coop at night to help prevent predators, encourage roosting, and so the chickens feel safer. 3) I'd personally close a door...

    Producing Calico Silkies

    I saw an old thread about calico silkies. The birds seemed to be splash silkies with red feathers mixed in. The pictures i saw portrayed very beautiful birds, and i wonder how they're produced. Do you breed splash and partridge together? Do you cross silkies and another breed together? I'd love...

    What exactly is a Calico Silkie?

    All these calico silkies are beautiful! I'm just confused about breeding 'autosomal red' into birds. Are they produced from crossing splash and partridge silkies, or from crossing silkies and some other breed?

    Indoor Pet Chickens

    So I've been thinking about getting a couple silkies as inside pets but "livestock" isn't allowed in my county. Would keeping them primarily inside label them as a "pet" and not "livestock"?

    Rooster Breed Selection

    Thank you! I'll go with a Bantam. I have one question: Would Red Pyle Game Bantam work too, or are they not as good as free ranging or camouflaging?

    Rooster Breed Selection

I am starting to build my backyard flock again, in Idaho, and i need to choose a rooster! I want to start breeding hens (not for show or to sell, just to experiment) and I currently...
