    Frizzle of frazzle?

    Sizzle is a frizzle Silkie Frizzle is a frizzle (not Silkie) Frazzle is when you hatch two frizzle parents eggs. The chicks will not be healthy and could die before hatching after hatching or later. They won’t be healthy.

    New pekin duck meets pair

    That’s why we only let them together supervised. When they aren’t she’s in a chicken tractor right up next to their enclosure so they can get to know each other. He pulls a couple feathers when he nips at ther neck but nothing violent like he’s trying to hurt her. It’s more like hey I’m the boss.

    Introducing a 6 week rooster to mature hens

    I think having had a ton of hens and chickens at this point that it’s more about size than age. Right now we have three juvenile chicks about 3 months old and they are still adjusting to being with the flock that has about 30 hens and two adult roosters. They are learning all about the pecking...

    My new ducklings

    They are on Purina Grower feed. I’ll have to order some brewers yeast for them. How much and how often do they get it?

    My new ducklings

    I was contacted by my vet who was called by a wildlife rescue about two pekin ducklings that needed a home. I have never had ducks before but we have 33 (+3 hatchlings) chickens so we thought we would give it a try and give them a loving home. They are so sweet and fun to watch. They are still...

    Mama hen and chicks in coop

    She is already showing them how to eat and drink. We have a feeder and waterer in the coop for them as well as her food and water outside the coop.
