We have rented our current house for 4 yrs. We have used the chicken coop on the premesis since we moved in but the owner complained that she wanted to raise chickens herself. This past summer, I was given a small chicken coop approx. 6'x6'. It was brought to me in side-panels and flooring...

We are in the unfortunate position where we will have to be moving in a month to a place where we will not be able to keep our chickens or ducks. I know the going rate to sell hens, but could you give me an idea on the price of ducks at laying age? My ducks are around 6-7 months old. I have a...

Hi. I have three ducks that are around 5 months old. I'm not sure what kind I have because I think the farm supply store that sold them to me, didn't know what they were selling. :-) I was told one was a Buff Orphington, but has turned out to be a white duck with yellow bill and feet. I...

Not sure if I should post this under the sick/emergency chick area, or here since it deals with a duckling. I have a buff duckling, about 2-3 weeks old. Today I let the three ducklings I have go swim in a pool while I gave them water. Everything was fine until I put the three back in the pen...

Decided I wanted to add duck eggs to my egg production. I heard the Khaki's were the best for egg production, but the farm store didn't have any. So I ended up with 2 buff Orphingtons and a Rouen (although I suspect it is actually a Cayuga. It is all black with just a touch of yellow on his...

My hens during an average day will lay about 2 dozen eggs. During peak production, will lay around 30 a day. For the last 3 weeks, I am lucky if I get a dozen out of my ladies. It is the middle of summer, so it's not a lack of light. Our summer has been rather mild, so it's not from extreme...

Hi - I have a lot of eggs that I sell (sold 16 doz this week), and I know of other people around with too many eggs for their families, but not enough to have much for selling. I was thinking of maybe coming up with some sort of egg co-op where we could gather all our eggs and take them to a...

I know I've seen a post about something similar in the past, but I don't have time to search through everything. So I'm sorry if this is repetative. I have a baby chick that has a problem with one of it's legs. It pushes its leg straight out to the side and back. It struggles to walk and I...

Hello, been a lurker for a long time, but finally became a member. I have been raising chickens for egg production for about 2 years. I have around 60 hens and 3 roo's. I have a large assortment of chickens since I had no experience with them and decided to get an assortment to discover my...

I have a two day old Buff Orphington chick. Its head arches back til it rests on its back. It arches so much that the chick flips itself over on it's back. I can take my finger and gently hold the head in the right position but everytime I remove my finger, the head goes slowly back. While...
