    I'm a little worried about my hen she has been sitting for days and I've not seen her off of the eggs at all. I check on her every morning and night my concern is if she is eating and drinking enough. I've tried to give her food and water but she rejects it. She has even rejected mill worms...

    Nesting box questions

    Would small plastic storage totes work for Nesting boxes? I was thinking about these because they'd be easy to clean. I wanted to check with more experienced chicken owners.

    New member first time hen and duck owner

    Thanks, I think they're beautiful too. How can you tell if they are male or female? And do you have any idea why one is growing so much faster than the other?

    I've got two that I've had for about five or six weeks. I'm not sure what kind they are but one has grown twice as fast as the other. I just love them so much they're so fun to watch. Here's pics of Reggie and Knot Head!

    New member first time hen and duck owner

    I have two at this time but I'm unsure of their exact age or type. I've had them for just about five weeks and they were once the same size. Reggie has grown twice as fast as Knot Head.
