I was really swamped trying to get the fam's last minute additions for NYE, store here, store there, rushing to get home. It was dark, got all the ducks back into the winter coop (I thought), they're not used to it, I thought the weird, skittish reaction was because it was their first time...

So far, so good. I managed not to get a single Roo in all our chick purchases from TSC (not so lucky with the ducks, two Pekin drakes 😬) But my ladies started squatting for me (I panicked lol, I thought my girl was sick or something the first time one did it) and laying eggs, and I'd hoped for...

Hello all, Henry (4 month old KC) is limping pretty bad, I found them in my neighbours front yard (they think they can go anywhere they please when it rains) I've checked her over for any obvious injury, felt the joints and her feet and and leg, her favored foot feels a little warmer than the...

One of my Pekins is really wonky legged, he can get around but he spends most of his time sitting, I'm just double checking I'm doing this right: So dump an ounce into a gallon of water and use that water as their water? It's ok for the other ducklings too, right? Is there a better/more...

I'm sitting here sobbing, this post has actually taken me hours to compose. I know they're livestock, but, I've spent a lot of time considering the ethics of farming, considering their tiny lives, the meaning of being alive as I reflexively rock this small bird in my arms. I've considered the...

I have a male and female KC, Henry and Boots. They grew up with four chicks, everyone's about 6 to 7 weeks old. They're a really tightknit group, it's a little odd really, my baby drake takes guarding his flock seriously and constantly has an eye to the sky. I hear him alert over airplanes...

I'm having a super hard time determining what a male saddle feather looks like. Can someone maybe explain this like I'm five? Or is 8 weeks too young to tell? Two chickens: Cluckingsworth: Brown chicken (they're not all named)

(stepped on a chicken's foot, didn't know he was behind me. He's walking around with everyone else, only favours it a little when standing still. Should I check him for breaks? Let him be and watch to see if he's still favouring it later today? they all hate being picked up, and I prefer not to...

A couple shots from when the partridge dinos were 3 weeks or so.

Today my wonderful, neurotic little tribe of dinos decided to execute the perfect breakout. Patiently, and with great calculation they waited for their water refill to show me I hadn't shut the pen door enough. I was stuck keeping the bottom spout blocked with a thumb because I've lost the cap...

Ducks are messy. Ducks are muddy. Ducks will throw all their water from the dish in ten seconds flat and then yell at you like you haven't given them water for days. The biggest lesson I've learned though? Ducks are amazing. Henry was a 2x "leftover" we were given for free from tractor...

Got this cutie from tractor supply in the assorted bantams bin, had brahmas in it too. Got two, the light brahma was easy to i.d, but I'm having a hard time figuring out who this little guy is. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 🙂

Hey there! First time chickeneer checking in, though I've been lurking this board since May when my lovely, impulsive oldest daughter (24) decided what I really needed in my life was 28 neurotic little chickens to care for... And two ducks. 🤨 This all began with my new home having a beautiful...
