    New Hen with feather loss

    These are the only two hens he had I’m pretty sure, but maybe he killed the rooster and sold me the chickens. They’re around a year/year and half old. They’re road island reds.

    New Hen with feather loss

    I just got two hens off a guy on Craigslist. I noticed one of the hens had a lot of feather loss. At first I thought maybe the other one was picking on her- yet I haven’t seen any sort of altercations. From some research it looks similar to maybe feather loss from mites or lice? Yet the other...

    Not feeding chickens

    Such a good idea! I'll ask my job for the extra scraps after dinner service! Also how do you check a crop?

    Not feeding chickens

    I also think it's a little bit of her being stubborn and stuck in what she thinks is the right.. and a little bit of her just being cheap and not wanting to spend the money. So if I'm using my own money to feed her chickens- I don't think she will say much.

    Not feeding chickens

    No.. she might just be annoyed but whatever. It'll cause way less of an issue than if I say something again...It's definitely the best option for now.

    What sex is my silkie?

    ive read how silkies are the hardest to sex when it comes to chickens. Mine is about two months old now and I thought maybe more experience silkie keepers would have a better idea... Personality wise. Tofu is more skiddish than the rest.

    feeding adult duck with the ducklings

    Oh good to know- will the babies eat the oyster shells? I feel like they will because they do everything she does.. they look up to her lol She is an Anacona. The 3 babies are- 1 female pekin, 1 male and 1 female kahki Campbell.

    feeding adult duck with the ducklings

    I have a female who is about 1.5 years old and 3 baby ducks a little over a month old. My adult female, charlie, hasn't laid an egg since I moved to New York from North Carolina last July. I thought she would start in the spring but she has not... she's gone through a lot of deaths around her...

    Not feeding chickens

    Ahhh honestly I wouldn't call her a "friend" after all the events I've seen her do since moving in. I moved into a house with my boyfriend and his friends- our landlord lives with us too and the girl who is not feeding her chickens is my landlords girlfriend. Sooo, I can't do much without...

    Not feeding chickens

    Thank you everyone for the input! I feel as if I have a lot of knowledge on raising birds- but her belittling my knowledge has me questioning if I was right or wrong. She was so defensive- I sadly don't think I have a choice of confronting this again. There's no option of moving out. So it...

    Not feeding chickens

    Soo I'm coming to this group with a question. I've been sort of sick to my stomach how my roommate raises animals. Because of this I decided to raise my three chickens separate from hers. I've raised the 6 birds from babies to now, for two months. She finally got her coop "ready" and they've...

    Muscovy? Female or Male?

    I finally picked up my loner duck a friend. The lady told me it was a female Muscovy but I could tell she was in a rush and maybe just said that because that's what sex I wanted. When I got home I realized how HUGE I mean almost double my ducks size she was. I'm new to muscovys so I wasn't sure...

    Baby Ducks in the Winter

    Thanks for the reply! Good to know- I'll probably keep them in a lot longer then expected. If anything we don't use our garage. It'll be colder but certainly better then outside. Around two months I'm thinking I move them into the garage. And watch the weather- possibly let them outside on nice...

    Depressed Duck?

    Thanks for the advice! I am definitely beefing up security x1000. She has an entire new home- I gave up on the last one, just too many areas for predators to get in. I have 5 baby ducks on their way next week- tho it'll be cold so it may be awhile before I can introduce them. Maybe I can bring...
