    Dislocated hip?

    I just posted on Facebook as well, but it’s not nearly as helpful as this website so I will delete it as soon as I get a response here

    Dislocated hip?

    My poor sweet chicken, of course my favorite and the nicest one we have, seems like she might have a dislocated hip. She can’t get to food or water on her own right now, and this started today. I have her inside in this crate and I’m feeding her scrambled eggs and water but here’s the problem…...

    Colorado

    I have a few chickens that are laying very scarcely, they’ll be 4 this fall. I am not set up or equip to butcher and eat them, plus I would love it if they could go to a farm and live out their life (not the farm your parents told you your dog went to 🤣). Does anyone in Colorado have the space...

    Plastic Shed for Coop?

    We are moving to a new house so I need a new set up for my girls! Does anyone have experience using a plastic shed for a coop? Pros? Cons? If you have installed a plastic shed and don’t mind sharing what you did for your foundation I would greatly appreciate it

    SOS HELP! Introducing ducks to chickens

    He’s not surprising. He’s only a year and a half. He was raised as a baby by my friend

    SOS HELP! Introducing ducks to chickens

    Of course I am worried about my chickens. But I adopted the drake from a good friend and knew all about his behavior. He doesn’t even mate with all four ducks and the chickens are staying far away from them. The chickens also have access to the run through a tunnel the ducks haven’t figured out...

    SOS HELP! Introducing ducks to chickens

    We are listing our house and moving in less than a month so adding an additional run for the ducks just doesn’t make sense but when we move, we’ll have a perfect set up for them. The integration actually went perfectly because the chickens are so scared of the ducks they aren’t messing with...

    SOS HELP! Introducing ducks to chickens

    I think there’s some research you need to do. Drakes successfully live with chicken hens all the time

    SOS HELP! Introducing ducks to chickens

    My ducks are going to be here soon and I’m wondering what the best option is for introducing them. Should I let the chickens out into the yard while the ducks explore the coop and run? Keep everyone in the coop and run? Everyone free to go anywhere??

    SOS HELP! Introducing ducks to chickens

    I think that’s a great idea. I know chickens instinctively go to roost at night and then I close the coop up so I’m hoping the drake will lead his girls to safety at bedtime. Unless I will be crawling through the chicken tunnel from the run to the coop to get them in for the night 😂

    SOS HELP! Introducing ducks to chickens

    Thank you so much!!! I don’t have a wire enclosure large enough for 5 full grown ducks so I thought about just letting them be in my yard together, or letting the chickens in the yard while the ducks explore the run and coop.

    SOS HELP! Introducing ducks to chickens

    I have a serious dilemma. Here’s the backstory 😂 I currently have 12 chickens in a coop and run with plenty of room for more. I am adopting 2 ducks from a friend, but temporarily watching all 5 for her (one is a drake). We are planning on moving end of April early May. I am taking the ducks...

    Integrating Ducks with Chickens

    This is my current setup so I was thinking of adding a duck coop to the left and then creating an entrance into the run (they don’t have access to that brown shed, there’s an exit in the coop and then a tunnel that runs behind and next to the shed)

    Integrating Ducks with Chickens

    I’ve actually heard about the horror of a drake trying mate with a chicken. Is it an option to just get female ducks? I was wondering if I should look into getting the ducks their own coop and then they share the run. I’ve witnessed first hand many times how mean chickens are! And I have 12 of...

    Integrating Ducks with Chickens

    Hi! I am looking to integrate ducks with my chickens but not sure the best way to go about it (or if this is the right thread?). I have a large coop and large run and I wasn’t sure if the ducks needed their own coop or if they could all share? I do have a kiddie pool for the ducks in the summer.

    Silkies in Colorado?

    I did google! There’s one but it says like $60 for a silkie 🙄 I think I’m actually leaning towards ducks now anyways! I like high egg producers because my family alone eats 10 eggs a day lol

    Silkies in Colorado?

    Hi! I’m looking for some white eggs for my flock and I thought it’d be fun to add some silkies. I am also open to ducks….. I would just need to make adjustments for the ducks (silkies not so much). Thanks!
