Who knows if this will catch on at all, but I wanted to create a thread for parents. I am a new mom myself, and I think it would be nice to have a place to talk to others (particularly others who also have livestock to care for in addition to their children) who are parents about the various...

Hello, my name is Whitley and I am on a small farm in Duluth, MN. I have read and learned a ton on this site for years, ever since I hatched my own ducks and looked up info on tips for building my own incubator. I finally decided to actually make an account and join the community. I mostly come...
Just curious to see if anyone else keeps a dog who is not well suited to a farm. I've got one who is not meant for the farm life, I've tried many different training methods but I can't train his prey drive away, can't desensitize him, can't redirect him, and I don't see a future where he...

My eggs are starting to hatch! Is there something wrong with this one? I know you’re not supposed to open the incubator during lockdown, but should I pull this one out? I'm afraid it might explode and contaminate my other eggs!
Hello!! We have been raising these chicks and they are now a few months old. I am very new to chickens and our two golden ones got bullied and had to be removed into a different coop a while back. Now wondering if our one coop is all roosters and the two are girls? Could someone help? Thank you!
How do you know the genetic makeup of your birds
If I buy 5 buff orps from each of the 3 major hatcheries in the area, Cackle, Hoover, and Murray, and buy 5 buff orps from a random breeder guy in Texas, how do I know what are the recessive traits in the birds
Will they all be the same...
I apologize if this has already been asked but looking for advice on how to proceed with this situation.
We have 4 cockerels (around 12-13 weeks), all born together and have lived together. Just recently 3 of the chickens have begun going after and attacking one of the chickens. They caused...

Hello,
I was wondering about the legistics of having geese with my 4 backyard chickens. My question is will one or both of the geese try to protect my chickens even though they didn't all grow up together.
I have a couple bantam's (ones a rooster shhh don't tell county), a couple full sized...
I know that the two are black sex links, I think the white one is the Easter egg and then there’s two that are brown and black, one of them is not in the picture she or he is in the other side of the yard.
I hope I got enough pictures that you can tell me if I’m correct. The black sex links, I...
Hey, i hope my post isnt too long and at least somewhat understandable.
A few months ago we planned to hatch chickens for us and also for a friend of us. She asked for a certain breed, which was totally okay fur us, since we wanted to hatch more than one breed anyway. In the end we could only...
