Should I give up?
I've had a few broodies myself and my advice is to give her and the eggs another week. After that, take any unhatched eggs out immediately, as they could be very rotten and infect the other eggs. It's great to hear that one of your hens went broody, it's a real treat to watch a mother hen teach...- D13

Review by 'D13' in article 'Mississippi River Illinois Woods Coop'
That's absolutely GORGEOUS! The design, the colors, the...everything! It's all so awesome! I especially like the little table and chairs next to the runs so you can chill and chat with your little feathered friends while you're outside!- D13

Ducks and Chickens Living Together?
Yeah, the ducks' waters are super muddy lol. They do have a pond (It's a very nice one too if I do say so myself) but they're ducks don't go around it much after one died to a snapping turtle attack. The ducks and chickens do have access to multiple separate waterers; so I'd say they've got...- D13

Ducks and Chickens Living Together?
Oh they're not my ducks; I don't have any yet. My neighbors don't really use any brand feed, they just feed all of them dried corn kernels.- D13

Ducks and Chickens Living Together?
This is something I just wanted to hear from all the BY Chicken veterans; should chickens and ducks be kept together? I've been watching my neighbors poultry recently and they have a bunch of pullets and a few adult ducks. The ducks and chickens are in different houses at night but free-range...- D13

why is my hen crowing when i have a rooster?
Don't worry about "bird flu", it doesn't exist. The only diseases to look out for are the ones told of amongst chicken keepers for years and years. THOSE exist.- D13

Why are my chicks so skittish?
It's normal for chicks to behave this way at this age; just give them time. Keep spending time around them so they become familiar with you; especially when they're outside. They usually do become more friendly when they grow up, so just keep doing what your doing and it should be fine.- D13
