Hello everyone. I got started with chickens when I rescued an abandoned coop earlier this year. They've brought me a lot of joy and our little flock expanded quickly. About 1.5 months ago I decided life was incomplete without some ducks so I went to tractor supply and bought what I thought were...
I thought it would be interesting to keep progress pictures of my chicks, since A.) I'm obsessed with everything they do, and B.) I'm curious about how my Easter Eggers will change. :D
I bought the first four flower girls 4 weeks ago, and the second group 2 weeks ago. Excuse the double...
I think I did well with these! I had 9 eggs, 2 Barred rock/Plymouth rock mixed and 7 RIR/Leghorn/Plymouth rock/Barred Rock mix. Out of those 9 I had 5 hatch!! One just finished today so I have no pics of it until it fluffs up.
I'm so happy since the first time I did this I only had 2 out of 30...
I have a flock of 7 chicks who are all about 1 week old (1 died in the mail ). They are: easter eggers, a golden laced wyandotte, a lavender and a buff orpington, the leghorn, and a black australorp. All except the Leghorn have just about doubled in size. My Leghorn seems to eat and drink, but...
I'm seriously a nut for Easter Eggers. I want to breed them and start making and selling my own!
Anyone out there ever bred them? I would love to see pictures of the breeds/parents used and see the chick colors!
Today I went to the farm store and couldn't help but pick up a couple EEs. If...
(1) Are you new to ducks / when did you first get ducks?
Kinda/sorta, I remember liking ducks when I was younger. Now that I’m older and have grown up money, I wanted to have some pet therapy and take care of my own ducklings.
(2) How many ducks do you have right now?
Currently I have five...
I spent about 2 hours writing an article last night. I put up pictures - most of which have already been posted already on these forums, but I couldn't access from the article like I do from a normal post/thread. So I re-loaded them.
Because I was in/out while doing other household things, I...
Hi everyone! I need some help with my goose eggs. This is my geese’s first year laying (white embden) and I know that the fertility and chance to hatch is really low but I tried it out anyway and put them in my incubator. I put 8 eggs in first and none of the eggs were older than two weeks. 2...
It’s not a competition or anything. Just sharing pictures we’ve collected of our babies! Not sure how this’ll go, but I know they have a “share pictures and stories of your chickens” forum where sharing photos and stories is all you do. I’d like something like that’s for our ducks! I’ll go...
Hi! :frow
As of yesterday, I've been drawing some not-so-great pastime sketches of some chickens. I'm making this thread to post my drawings and share them.
If you have a chicken you want me to sketch, feel free to post their picture :) Just make sure it is a clear photo.
Black Silkie Hen...
Hi guys,
It’s been soo long since I have posted on here. I just want to give y’all an update on Jack, the duck I got back in April after my poor Gus got taken by a fox.
I had searched everywhere for a grown pekin duck for sale near Richmond Va, and finally found one farm a couple hours away...
Hi all,
I have a flock of four hens in my Northwest back yard: Light Brahma (Chips), Golden Sex Link (Peepen), Black Australorp (Bindin), and a Silver Laced Wyandotte (Neptune). They are my little buddies and they all lay eggs! I love my gals and they have made life a sweeter thing, especially...
Welcome! This thread is all about posting cool pictures of your chickens! I’ll start!(You can post pictures of other kinds of fowl too!) Please note that these pictures are a little outdated and some of the chickens here have noticeably aged, so I’ll try to post newer pictures of them soon!

I'm not sure this is in the right place. Please forgive me if it isn't.
I don't have the right cord to download pictures from my phone to my computer and I need to post pictures. I'm not very tech savvy but I'm trying, sorry. :confused:
nothing serious lol I just wanted to share these beautiful pictures of Sumatra my 2.5 month old Cayuga duckling. There’s many more on my instagram @ house.of.ducks lol.
