    Are chickens actually smart?

    I bought my flock one of those waterers that has the watering cups on them. You know, the ones that have the little trigger in the cup that they hit that releases water?

    Hi Everybody

Two of the hatchlings died in sad circumstances, but I have two beauties that are growing nicely in the brooder. One was splay-legged and curl toed, and I was...

    I have slowly started introducing the new ducks. at first I let the new guys quarantine then showed them to each other so they could see them but not be with them. next I let them outside together and my less dominant duck kept going back and forth with the the new guys and his friend. After...
