Hi everyone, We have several ducks and chickens. We found that one of our khaki Campbell females was sneaking out of the run, and long story short, she was making a nest. By the time we caught on to what she was doing, she had a full nest and that same night was when she was ready to start...

I can’t wait for spring for several reasons, but mainly because I am totally out of eggs! I just took my last two frozen eggs out for tomorrow morning. We are still getting the occasional duck and/or chicken egg but we have no more frozen ones for a backup! I am so looking forward to collecting...

In the last 2, maybe 3 weeks, we have noticed a drop in eggs from our hens. We have 9, of assorted breeds. I had a feeling at least some were hiding eggs..today I found a stash of 16 eggs under a tree stump! So my question is, how do I know if these eggs are still good? It’s pretty warm during...

Last night one of my hens was sleeping in a nesting box. I didn't think much of it, since they all prefer the same box and often line up to use it during the day. I have seen other hens do this as well. This morning she came out when I opened the coop and she had already laid an egg, so I...

My Svart hona hen laid her first egg today! She is almost 21 weeks old. I wasn't sure when to expect eggs because there isn't a lot of info out there about this breed, and i really thought my Wyandotte, who is a few weeks younger, might lay before she did. She just looked more "ready"! But...

My first chicks from mail order arrived today! So exciting! I ordered from Meyer Hatchery and they all look great. All 4 chicks are eating, drinking and chirping..I just love hearing their little peeping noises! Here are the newest chicks, 4 Sicilian buttercups!

Hi everyone! I’m a pretty new chicken owner and hoping someone can help me with sexing my chickens. The white ones I know are hens, and they are laying. The others in the pics are Easter Eggers, a Wyandotte, and the black ones are Svart Honas. I’m thinking the Wyandotte is a hen, and some of the...

Hi! So I'm kind of new to this whole chicken thing..but I'm finding it to be so much fun! I have 3 California whites who are 7 months old. All three of them are laying, so we get 2, usually 3, eggs per day. We also have several younger chickens, most of which are out in the coop and run now that...

Finally got some ducklings last night! So excited! My daughter and I picked up 6 one-day old duckings. We have had chickens for the last 7 months but I have been waiting till spring to get ducklings also. Unfortunately one did not make it, but the remaining 5 seem to be doing very well...

Hi! My name is Gina and I'm pretty new to chicken keeping. I started raising California Whites in Seotember, and my three hens started laying in late January. It is so much fun, something I never pictured myself doing! I also now have two Svarthona chicks, about 2 months old, and 6 other baby...
