    Chickens and Ducks together in run - Help!!

    SOS!! I got 2 cutie ducks a few weeks ago (they're now 6 weeks!!) I did a slow introduction over the course of ~10 days or so and all seemed well! I have 8 chickens currently and have been noticing that 3 of my RIR chickens (unsure if they're pullets or cockerels at this point) are bullying the...

    One Hen Two Roo?

    Do you see what I’m seeing? looking at the buffs- I think the one in the front is a hen and the two further back are roosters. Agree? I bought them April 18 so they are around 6 weeks old. Sorry these aren’t the best photos.

    Anyone have any experience with this hatchery?

    I've been a long time chicken mom (15+ years) and recently I've been looking into getting some of the rarer breeds such as seramas (got some eggs on the way!), ayam cemani, and dong tao just to name a few. I found an online hatchery that sells the dong taos and they seem to be the cheapest...

    Advice on breeds of various poultry

    This seemed like the best place for this, but if there is a better one, Mods feel free to move it :) I am looking to create a mixed poultry flock (for eggs, meat, and fat) for a (future) homestead, and I wanted to get first-hand experience and/or research tips from y'all on species and breeds...

    Introducing 7 Week Old Chicks to my 8 Month Old Flock

    Today I opened the chicks caged area in the coop and left a small opening for the chicks to slip in and out of. The opening is not big enough for the adults to get through. I have seen the chicks using it. I watched the flock for a while and the only chicken that has "attacked" the chicks is my...

    Should I ship hatching eggs or pre-hatched chicks?

    When my chickens are old enough, I will put up a sign in front of my house and sell eggs for food. But, I'm considering breeding some of my chickens and setting up an online store to sell to people. The problem is that I don't know whether to ship eggs or chicks. Even with proper packing, the...

    Would starlight green eggers take baby chicks as their own?

    I’m a brand new chicken owner with my first flock of chickies. I bought 6 SGEs from Tractor Supply, and I think they’re thriving well. I am planning on getting a few of them butchered to make room for some more chickens (per my city’s regulations) and I was wondering: if I introduce new baby...

    does anyone know why my ducks only trust me in certain conditions, and how to fix it?

    I have 4 Pekin ducks. They are 7 weeks and 4 days old and live in a very spacious run with some chickens of the same age. (They get along well and there's enough space so the ducks don't trample the chicks.) I only recently stopped putting the chicks and ducks back in their separate brooders at...

    Words can't describe how angry I am right now.

    This morning I noticed my favorite chicken, Rosy, was missing. I looked all over for her, but couldn't find her. I was getting really worried, and my heart sank when I saw a trail of feathers leading to under the shed. I checked there, and I found half of her. A raccoon probably took the other...

    Jersey Giants for meat??

    Hi I am looking for a heritage chicken breed that is big and grows fast! Would Jersey giants be a good choice?? I do not want hybrid meat birds so these looked appealing since they're the biggest heritage breed. Feel free to weigh in! Thanks!

    Anyone grow daikon radish for their chickens?

    I heard daikon radish grows well where I live so I ordered some seeds. The plants did well but I planted them too late and they ended up starting to bolt. I didn’t like the bitterness so I gave some to my chickens, greens and all. It seems like it is their favorite treat just under mealworms...
