1. Where did you get the birds?
Rural King (Hoovers hatchery)
2. Are they from a feed store, hatchery, or breeder?
Feed store
3. If you bought them from a hatchery, which breeds did you select?
We selected three bramahs, and this chick was the last one in the pen, but nobody could identify what...
I’ve continued to give her electrolytes via a cut straw. She does seem to lap it up every drop along her beak. Still worried for her, and I don’t want to give her anything until someone can give me a decent idea or opinion.
One of my chickens, Erica Eggstrada, is very sick. I just noticed this behavior this morning when I went to let the girls out. She didn’t want to move out of the coop. I knew something was wrong, because she always runs up and wants to be petted. If anyone can identity from the video. Please let...
Thank you! I try to do as much as I can with the tasks given!
She is one tough cookie. I usually have to tell her to slow down! And yes, we are trying to get everything cleaned up for the upcoming baby boy.. Yet we get two more of the MESSIEST pets on this planet..lol
Thank you!
Yes, my wife was contacted through a group she belongs to about re-homing our rooster. I will really miss him, but he was just too harsh on anyone but me. The lady said she has 20 acres and raises chicken and ducks. I wanted to re-home him and give him a second chance versus...
****Update****
We found Isabella some companions. Unfortunately, we had to re-home our rooster, Doc Brown, as he was WAY too aggressive with my wife and daughter (My daughter could not play outside anymore, as he would instantly attack her and my wife). Luckily, we found him a happy home! The...
Hello TN family! I was wondering if anyone might have some or know someone that has female ducks that they are looking to rehome? We lost our drake last weekend, and our girl, Isabella, needs companions. My wife would prefer to keep an all-female group of ducks. Thank you!
Thank you! I’m sorry about your loss as well. They were such a cute pair. She just stands next to the chickens side and calmly stares. We need to find her companions asap!
Thank you for the reply. I just contacted the seller, and they are six months old. I'm assuming a bonded pair. I'm thinking that we should only get females?
Thank you! There is someone in our area that is selling a young male and female Cayuga(Together only). Discussing with my wife... She wants only female ducks, but I'm unsure of the dynamics.
Thank you both! I built a custom coop that is 4x4ft and has a fortified ramp/door that has a 12x12ft outdoor pen/run surrounded by high fencing. I'm assuming that should be enough room. Due to the incident that happened, I'm completely redoing the ducks pen/run this weekend with hardware cloth...
Hello, I'm a new member from Walland, TN(Next to the Smoky Mountains). I'm looking forward to the conversations and fun in this forum!
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I've had chickens for a year now.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
I have 11...
Hello,
We lost our beloved duck, Bruno(Buff Orpington), the other night to a Raccoon attack. We had a bonded pair of male/female ducks, and our beloved boy was unfortunately killed. The female survived. We have 10 hens and 1 rooster, and they all seemingly get along; however, she is extremely...
