    Affectionate/needy chick?

    We have one coturnix quail chick that will yell at us, until we pick it up, then it quiets down and twitters. Eventually, it wants down.... then it starts calling again... has anyone else experienced this? Seems healthy, eats, drinks and moves well, is just a cuddlebug.

    To Duck or not to Duck - Nearby Neighbors

    Good morning, everyone! I live on a small lot (1/2 acre) and just checked and legally am allowed up to three POULTRY - which is "any domesticated fowl...etc etc." But it pretty clearly would allow for ducks, which I didn't realize until today. BUT there is a provision against roosters (if one...

    Hi all, I have six ~9 month old hens. They have been laying for about 3 months and I live in a cold, northern climate. One of my buff orpingtons is so loud... she starts up right when it is light out or even just barely. Usually around 6:30am. Some days she isn't that incessant and some days...

    Pullets squawking all winter?

    My four EE pullets are showing signs of POL- squatting, rapid comb growth, egg laying song practice, it's all there. I was told they wouldn't lay until spring because of the lack of sunlight, and while I can be patient for the eggs, I REALLY can't wait for the egg laying ballad rehearsals to...

    LOUD Chickens

    Anyone know what's up with loud chickens? We have Polish ladies and they're obnoxiously loud during the day. I was losing my mind thinking they were possibly roosters at some point but, they're JUST loud. When I read about it, all there is info on is that it's a behavioral thing that means...

I have them in a brooder with a hay, heat lamp, food, water, and perching stuff. I don't think they have been all that loud at all, but I just noticed...

    Chick peeping loudly, help!

    My new SLW chick is sooo loud! She’s 2-3 days old now and has an Australorp friend who is near inaudible compared to her. On the first night we had them I decided to put in an old sweatshirt that they could cuddle up against, and that’s been working pretty well for the time being. They sleep in...
