Hello everyone, I'm new to this website so please forgive me if this question has been asked a million times. I have been through some of the threads but would like a more personalised answer! :)
I am a mother to two lovely 8 month old ducks who currently sleep in a one-storey hutch in the...
I've been feeling somewhat better about the death of Valentine due to the overwhelming support from the BYC community, so I'd like to announce that I might be hosting some events in the near future, so I'd love your opinions on my ideas.
The New Chick Festival:
This be an event that will happen...

I'd love to see photos of your chicken coop decorated for Christmas.

Hello! Recently the temperatures here where I am have been rising exponentially, and my chickens are definitely not happy about it. The average temperature where I am is about 95 degrees and humidity is about 80-95%.. I feed my chickens cold fruit and yogurt, when it's especially hot, and I ice...
