    I bought these chickens at an auction and they were labeled “hens”. I have no idea what breed they are or if they are really hens. Can anyone help?

    Well, I’m Charlie. I currently have 11 chicks. It’s my first time taking care of chickens on my own. Only one of them has a name right now, and her name is Melvin.

    Midnight Majestic Marans

    So a month ago we got these chicks from a local breeder. Unusual to me was that they were cooled when we got them. It took a little longer to hatch, and we had a broody silky, she hatched 7 out of 12. 2 went missing early on, and 3 were unviable. So they hatched and they are doing fine...

    Different aged ducklings together?

    Are you all sick of me and my questions yet? 😉 I’m getting four more ducklings on April 29th (that was the soonest my feed store could get them in, as I don’t buy my ducklings from TSC), and they’ll be a week old, potentially younger. I have three ducklings right now that will be around 5-ish...
