I saw a tictok video of someone making a custom chicken feed so I doctored it up a little to my liking and here is what I came up with: 1 50lb bag of layer pellets 1 50lb bag of layer crumble 3 large scoops of scratch grains 3 large scoops of dried meal worms 4 large scoops of thistle seed...

Do you think these are actually mallard or Rouen? They fly, I read Rouens don’t fly. I think their mom is a Rouen, she is bigger and doesn’t fly. They could be a cross?

I wouldn’t say wild, but not necessarily a pet, they came with the house they hang around but aren’t really friendly. They fly around but always come back to the pond

How can I know? Wait a couple days them candle them? See if she lays any more? There’s 10 now, she may not be done laying and be fully broody yet?

Hey guys! One of the mallards that made my pond its home decided to lay eggs in the barn. Safe place so I give her props for that! But I didn’t know until this morning when I opened the barn door and she came running in to her nest…. If she wasn’t on these eggs for about 10 hours, will they be okay?

I know I’m replying to such an old post, but what if they are out of the brooder doing this?

Hi! Please see the pictures. My roosters comb is really discolored, and a small stop on my one hens, the others are fine. What could this be and how can it be treated? I live in Michigan if that helps with the diagnosis any… I tried to do some googling and looking at other posts, but none...

Thank you!! I giggled a little, a chicken eating chicken 🤣

What can I use for extra protein?

Here is the picture

My hen got picked by my roosters when they were all together… the issue has been taken care of now but will her feathers grow back, if so how long?? You can see them missing in this picture

So a little update. I’ve seen a bit of rooster behavior which is definitely leading me to believe cockerel. “He” will stand up and watch over the flock when I put fresh food and water in and wait patiently until their attention goes elsewhere then will eat and drink. Always up when the hens...

Omg this is beautiful!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍

I am in the exact same predicament… too many roosters but I am attached to them all! I did what you said in one reply, separated them hens and have 1 rooster in with the hens, and the others in their own “bachelor pad”. They can still see the hens and interact with them through the fence, but it...

I wish I had a husband that surprised me with Emu’s!!!

That makes sense. Yes I do know for a fact he does breed his own

Thank you! @cherrynberry !

I found a local hatchery guy near me who has a little business, runs it out of his home. I went there

I didn’t think BSL either based on pictures off google, but that’s what the hatchery guy told me… hmmm 😅🤔

How about these two? They are supposed to be hens but have larger combs. They may be a week older than the others. The first one I believe is a black sex link? And the second is a blue ply rock.
