Donald was given to us and is full grown. The other three were from the mixed duck bin at TSC and still peep. The grey fuzzy one is smaller than the others.
We want to raise three different varieties of chickens and keep them pure and I was wondering if there was any way to do it without setting up separate coops. We have one chicken house and one coop.
I didn't know if I could keep the roosters separate from the hens and then introduce them to the...

What breeds...
I was discussing plans with a friend recently and she warned me that a Toulouse gander could breed with my duck hens. Specifically buff Orpington, and Welsh harlequin. I’ve never heard anything like that. Any truth to this?
This is a well produced, modern reprint of "The Mating and Breeding of Poultry" by Lamon and Slocum.
It is issued in a large format and is a very thorough book of considerable size (372 pages).
The authors undertook considerable pains to create one of the most comprehensive and well...

Hi! I'm new to the chicken owning hobby and recently bought seven 1 week old chicks from my local TSC. These chicks happen to be Isa browns, and I'm getting silkies from a breeder in about a week and a half. By the time I get the silkies, they will be a few days old while the isa browns will be...
I’m looking to start fresh this spring with chicks. We had 3 hens (2 sexlinks) 2 from tractor supply and one from a friend who purchased from a auction. All three of my hens (2 were 2yrs old and 1 was 3yrs old) had a bout of EYP. The 1st I took to a vet who said spay her or euthanize her. After...
