    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    My girls have been slacking. Does the heat play a big part in it? We've been between 90 and 100 every day for a few weeks. I'm lucky to get 5 or 6 eggs out of my 15 girls.

    Surprise! I now have a duck! Now what?

    I am not familiar enough with ducklings to guess how old he is, but since he still has some color, I am guessing he was hatched for Easter. So just about a month old. Still pretty fuzzy. The hen didn't want to have much to do with duckie. Or vice versa. He's sort of been on his own. Went...

    Surprise! I now have a duck! Now what?

    My neighbor knocked on my door this morning with a baby duck in his hands. He was working a job yesterday and there was a pond. One lonely, solitary, scared little duckling. Still partially green from Easter dye (presumably.) So, neighbor knows this little baby can't survive on his own...

    Black, wart like things all over my chick's head

    This chick is about 10 weeks old. Raised by Mama & not as friendly as my brooder chicks usually are so he is kind of hard to get close to. For a couple weeks I've noticed that his comb looked black but I figured it was just how he is. Today I got close enough to grab him & see. His whole...

    Chick with ipacted crop.

    Thank you! This evening it was quite a bit smaller and squishier. Still full, but it was evening, so it would be. I'll check it in the morning. Maybe it worked itself out. If not, I will buy the dulcolax.

    Dumbest Things People Have Said About Your Chickens/Eggs/Meat - Part 2 : Chicken Boogaloo.

    I love it when people see my blue eggs for the first time. They get so excited! Usually they'll ask if they taste the same. So far no one has turned their nose up at them.

    Getting hens acclimated to coop

    Usually, once they know where home is, they'll go there on their own at night. One way to accomplish this is to keep them confined to their coop for a few days after you move them & don't let them out to run. Then, when you do let them out, they are already used to roosting in the coop.
