I have two male/female rouen ducks, I built them a coop almost a year ago, and the will only go in there to eat, and stay outside the rest of the time.
Well, we are in for some brutal Michigan winter weather 30-50 below zero windchills. They have been fine with the straw I have put out for them...
I was wondering if anyone could help me identify my new addition to the family.
I bought these a few weeks ago at TSC and was wondering what breed they are, and male/female? TIA.
My son just loves the baby chicks so much and wanted to hold all of them at he same time...he was laughing so hard and the chicks were looking at him all kinds of funny ways!!
My babies are about a week old today and I have given them hard boiled eggs a couple times before but was advised by a few members here that I shouldn't do this because they need their starter food for the vitamins it provides for them. So I decided ok...what if I mix a hard boiled egg with...
6 days ago we got our chicks at TSC, the 4 Reds came out of the bin labeled "Red Pullets" But since their feathers have been coming in I have noticed the one in the foreground has white wing feathersand more white around her face while they 3 others have dark lines through their feathers.
They...
I just notice one of my 5-7 day old bantams has poop that looks like chocolate pudding that just started today. No pasty butt, but I can see the vent seems to be constantly working...should I be concerned and keep an eye on her, or is this something that need attention right away?? What should I...
I just took some of my chick starter feed added a little water and made a mash out of it, and my babies just went wild over it!! Will it hurt them to have it like this?, Because it seems the eat better with it like this.
We brought our 6 baby chicks home 3 days ago, and I think they are about 6-7 days old, and just wondering how much they should be eating?
I gave them a hard boiled egg today and it was gone in about 2 hrs. But their feeder doesn't seem to be going down much since I put it in. They haven't even...
I just gave my babies another hard boiled egg and they just went crazy over it!! One of the bantams would get a piece in his mouth and start running all over the cage screaming his head off while all the other chicks were chasing her..so funny to watch when there was a whole plate full, they all...
Well, when we bought our chicks at TSC we also bought the $20 brooder that was nothing more then a cardboard box with grow food, feeder, and water, and after 2 days I knew it wasn't going to last long, so I set out today to build a new one for them and designed it so I can also use it for a...
I just gave my 4-6 day old baby chicks their first treat egg yoke since I brought them home 2 days ago and they have been none stop eating it...almost fighting over it...so cute to see them eat so well at such a young age!!
New to the site from Mid-Michigan, and just got my 6 chick from TSC, 4 Pullet Reds, and 2 Bantams, really have enjoyed all the knowledge I have found here at BYC.

My 2 Bantams
My little flock
I just brought home 6 baby chicks from my local TSC, 5 Red Pullets, and 2 Bantams(I'm guessing about 4 days old), and have read where people are having problems with the chicks picking on smaller ones.
I was wondering if I will have problems with the Reds picking on the smaller Bantams and if I...
My wife, son and I were just at TSC and couldn't leave without buying some baby chicks for my son. I decided on 4 Reds(for eggs) and 2 Bantams(for beauty) My question is, is there any way to see what my 2 Bantams might look like when they get older? I know it's to early to tell gender, but I'm...
