A friend and I split a few Asian Black pullets from TsC to add to our respective flocks/other chicks. Neither of us can find a lot online about sexing these since they aren’t a recognized breed. We both live in a county where only hens are allowed so we want to make sure now that we do in fact...

We buried it. — country living. I didn’t want to invite animals that don’t live at my house. My neighbor, her kids, and mine...we held a funeral. Both of our husbands were still at work.

Thank you, all the others seem fine, but since we don’t know what caused it, we’re concerned

I noticed this evening that I was missing one of my boys..he is my low man on the pecking order and a polish. All my boys are about 15 weeks old. We saw him last this morning hanging out with the flock... They free range during the day, and I have a privacy fence and my dog has been out with...

I know! She was yawning but it does like a crow! :) I interrupted a little snooze opening up the coop. :) no one has made any crow noises yet. My polish I’m pretty confident are hens and they don’t love attention :)

Someone stopped by today who raises chickens and they were pretty positive blue is too and orange is hen Our neighborhood laws are “no livestock” though multiple people have ducks or chickens...so we’re assuming the literal sense of the word livestock...so to be courteous we decided to not...

Oh I hope the orange (brown) one is a hen, that one is our sweetest one :) but the kids are getting attached so I hope to rehome Roos quickly ;) the orange one always looks that way... resting, active...whichever. :)

Sure! ( that was harder than I thought it would be these two are the sweetest out of everyone and love attention and photos taken lol)

No they were in the coop house resting I’m hoping to sex a little early so I can rehome Roos now if needed and replace with hopefully hens

They are about 5-7 weeks old... I think the orange one is a Roo, the tail feathers are fairly straight up too... but the Blue one I have no clue... both tend to keep the polish girls in check and reigned in.... What do y’all think?!?!

I live in a small town area... The closest CL city is an hour away and it’s hard to find stuff for our area on there. I’ll keep looking I looked at TS last week but didn’t find anything I loved enough to pay the $$ for. I may just have hubby build the duck coop too. :)

I don’t have the exact measurements- I’m going to look at it on Saturday- they used it for A medium 35-40 pound dog. But a amazon search of what I think is the same had it as 2x2 which does sound small but again...I was sort of guessing that it was the same house. It’s someone in our town...

It’s only about 4sf so it actually sounds like it might be too small for 3 calls :/

What sq foot per call duck am I looking for for the inside of their coop (NOT RUN) I found a great dog house I can make work, hubby feels like it’s big enough but I want to make sure im not crowding them. I have three calls and they sleep practically on top of one another.

Oooo good to know! That’s usually how it seems, sheer excitement. :)

Thank you! I bathed “her” this morning with a cotton ball dipped in barely warm water and got her area cleaned up... We don’t keep the brooder any higher 80, the chicks pant when we try any warmer but I actually put ACV with the mother in their water this morning. I pick each one up several...

But I don’t need to do anything besides clean it, correct? Thanks for the reply!!

Yes!! We’ve been sad they don’t like to be picked up lol. But the kids love watching them in the kiddie pool when I bring them outside and I’m hoping they’ll enjoy the koi pond once they’re bigger too

Call ducks Two are roughly 2 weeks old, one is about 5 days (the lady we got the other two had a single egg and once hatched she called my husband to see if we could add it to the two we already took so she/he wasn’t alone. ) only one accepts a little attention but she runs before you can grab...

That’s what I told my husband but he said he felt bad that I gave extra stimulation for the chicks but not the ducks lol. They go outside at least once a day currently. But I’ll give them a stuffed animal and mirror too. :)
