Hello, I have a lovely female duck that has chosen to lay her eggs in a small alcove at the school where I work. The first year she did it they got eaten by something 😕 and then last year none of them hatched. And she’s back. She has chosen a really bad spot due the high traffic and children...

I thought it was a hawk picking off my babies but yesterday I caught the little devil attacking one of my silkies! I have locked up all the chickens and set traps around the run. Where theres one is there more? If I get it is it safe to let them out? Is there anyway to prevent this from...

Can a domestic rabbit breed with a wild rabbit? If so can they get pregnant by more than one suitor? My domestic white rabbit gave birth to nine babies a little over 2 weeks ago (5 survived). She runs free on our school campus and broke into another rabbits cage. All of the babies are either...

I recently received my first goose and OMG!!! They are amazing. Totally different from chickens or ducks. That being said…can anyone tell me how to pronounce Sebastopol?

7 week old black cochin frizzle. Any ideas on whether or not it's a rooster?

I have been observing my new chicks (7 days old) and it seems to me like they are segregating them selves by color as well as breed. Plus there seems to be one in particular that is "eyeballing" the top of the brooder as if to be figuring a way out. It is also the same one that comes running...

I have a rooster that I have raised by hand since the time he popped out of the egg. He just discovered he was a "rooster" about two months ago and has terrorized the hens to the point that they hide under the roost and haven't come out of the coop in over a month and he's tried to peck me a few...

I have a typical white rabbit, "Dirty" Dianna, that lives at the school were I work. She kept escaping from her cage this past summer and I finally through up my hands and let her run free. She hangs out with our chickens and loves playing with the children during recess. Weird I know but true...

Is my chicken molting or is there something wrong with her? Her legs are not normally this scaly looking. Usually she has a nice pink comb and she's a beautiful chestnut color. She's eating, drinking and acting like herself.

So my 6 month old americana hen has finally started to attempt to lay eggs. Her first was soft shelled then the next two were the size of a Robin's egg. Below is her latest. Should I be worried?

These are the three chicks we got when our Silkies hen and Buff Orpington Rooster got together. Two look like twins and resemble the parents the third is completely different looking nothing like either of them. Honestly I never thought it could happen. Any guesses hen or rooster?

This is what happens when a silkie and buff orpington mate! Any ideas on gender? It is 8 weeks old.

So I am getting really tired of the way the "store bought food" makes my chickens poop and frankly them smell. During the summer I've noticed a huge difference and I'm sure it's because they are free rangeing all day and getting what nature intended. However, if you can avoid blueberries...do...

What's up with this? Mother is a silkie, dad is a buff orpington.

Does anyone know of a website that will explain what some of the noises, body language or behaviors indicate?
