I'm going to use this thread to post my show experiences and wins this fall. I will be posting where I'm showing, what I'm showing, and my thoughts throughout the process.
Fall show season officially starts tomorrow! It's the "Davey Classic" in Lawrenceburg, TN. It's technically a fair show...
I’m looking for a GOOD home for 1 rooster, 1 hen, 9 half grown chicks. Preferably to someone that has room and indoor/outdoor safe environment. Elderly couple unable to take care of them and are moving. Please contact me ASAP. Libby Montana area.
Thank you!
Hello Friends,
So I have a question for the chicken and duck people. My grandma and my mom use this trick to integrate new chickens into the flock. When they buy new chickens they spray the whole coop, the old and the new birds with vinegar water before sleep and then they just put them...
My chickens have had off on and respiratory symptoms the last week and a half. Then all the sudden I found lots of bloody stool and one chicken passed. A couple other off hiding and lethargic and sleepy so I started Corid in water. Now the respiratory symptoms have gotten much worse. All I could...
Hi there everyone! I'm new here but have been a secret reader for many years.
Little back story, I've had chickens for about 8 years, mixed breed nothing special, we keep the hens for eggs and chicks and the roosters for a short period until they are ready for the soup pot!
I live in Bahrain...

(2) How many chickens do you have right now? We have 6
(3) What breeds do you have? Dominique and Wyndotes
(4) What are your favorite aspects of...
Hello!
I desperately am looking for a new home for my two Cinnamon Queens Dolly and Dottie. They are both around 4 months old. I bought them from. Tractor Supply back in April not knowing that they weren't allowed as pets on the property I'm renting from until today.
I have a lot of feed...
Let me see those pallet coops/runs! Getting some large ducks (I normally raise bantams) and need some visual ideas! Also, please let me know how you stand your pallets up if they're standing on the ground. Rebar near me is $5 for two feet 😅
Y'all I have too many eggs! My hens produced this many in the time frame of 2 weeks.
We've also gave away like 3 dozen eggs too
(I only have like 30 hens)
Thoughts of the morning.
I have switched to replacing my ducks' pool water in the morning. I feel like it's a little better than replacing it in the early afternoon, after work. They get fresh water first thing in the morning this way.
I built a new pen for the boys since they are being...
I have 3 sweet chickens that need rehoming. They 4 years old and very friendly, but the city of Morehead is making me get rid of them. An Isa Brown, Polish hen and Plymouth Rock. These girls will follow you around and eat from your hand. They do not deserve to be destroyed. Please help me rehome...
My chicks have very ruffled and ugly feathers. I’m thinking it could be a sun deficiency because here in las vegas, it is 100+ degrees about every day so I didn’t take them outside until they were two weeks old. I took them outside because I noticed their feathers were starting to get ugly. They...
Our neighborhood has historically had a problem with boxelder bugs aka boxelder beetles. Every year we had great swarms of them around the foundation of our house, living in the siding, and even getting into the house! We dislike poisons and artificial chemicals, and nothing of an organic...

I have no idea why I'm asking this, I don't intend on ever keeping ducks, but I do keep chickens :D They seem to share each other's space quite well.
I was wondering:
Do ducks, like chickens, have a pecking order for their species?
Do ducks and chickens, when they exist in the same space, have...
I got a hen that never stops clucking, and yesterday I put a camera in her coop and noticed she would cluck all night long. I don’t know how long she’s been doing that, but it doesn’t seem normal. She will fall asleep, and then wake up and start clucking. It isn’t the alarm call, it’s just a...
Hello!
I didn’t know where to post this, since it’s not really an emergency or a disease (to my knowledge). My chickens have very inconsistent poops. At night and sometimes during the day, normal poops; sometimes wet poops, but still solid-ish; sometimes just liquid. Sometimes it’s brown...
Hi! This is more of a general questions under selling/rehoming chickens. I live in the Dallas Texas area and i’m looking for a good home for my chickens. Unfortunately i am moving so that is why im needing to rehome them. Does anyone in the Texas area know any farms that could possibly take them...
