    why hasn't my one year old duck layed an egg?

    hello guys, I'm quite new to here, but I've used to come here for various reasons quite a few times, but I have never found anyone talking about any type of duck not laying. Most of the time, the topics that cover this seem to be about ducks that are still too young to lay but never about a...

    Do you think hens recognise their egg colour?

    2 of my 3 hens went broody and now co-raise 5 chicks. All my hens are different breeds and so I can see which chick biological belongs to who. All the chicks belong to the 2 parenting hens, who both lay white eggs. However, the other hen's brown eggs were in the nest too, in fact two hatched but...

    Ruth or Rufus, That is the Question. RIR Hen or Rooster?

    My family and I are new to chickens and we were told that our Rhode Island Red was a hen, but we’re not so certain now. She/he is approximately 14 weeks old and hasn’t crowed or anything, but is bigger than our other hens and has a much larger comb/wattles. If you have a guess, we’d love to hear it!

    Silkie Colors

    Hi! 👋🏻 My husband and I were discussing our Silkies and a question came up, “what is the most common and the most ‘rarest’ color for Silkies?” And I tried Googling it, but can’t find anything. Do y’all have any idea?

    Raising Meat Chickens

    I love the idea of selling meat chickens, but I hate the idea of physically killing them (ironic, I know). For y'all that sell chickens for meat, is there a common practice of raising the chickens to their appropriate age and then sending them all off to get butchered and dressed for you? Or do...

    Duck nesting with no eggs

    I have a 3 year old welshie who has never shown interest in raising a family. She has built the most luxurious nest in the coop. She is sitting on it in the morning when we let them out and check for eggs, but leaves with the rest of the ducks. At some point she returns to the nest, which never...

    A break, or are they done laying?

    I have a trio of Sebastopol, all around 4 years old, that I purchased last year. This isn’t my first year keeping geese, but it is my first year breeding them. One of the ladies started laying February 19, the other started March 1; they were laying sporadically at first, but after a couple of...

    Paint X Partridge Silkies... what colour are these chicks!?

    I aquired a few Silkie eggs on part trade for some hens, and they started hatching this morning. They came from a pen with a Paint rooster, 2 Paint hens, and a Partridge hen (if I remember right though she was smooth, making her a possible mutt). I’m working with Paints this year, so I planned...

    Chickens and Bunnies shared yard?

    The closest thing I could find is this post asking if chickens and bunnies can share the same run. My question is very similar, but wasn't quite answered in there. I was wondering if it's safe or a good idea to allow bunnies and chickens to share a fenced yard? They would have separate...

    Shipped eggs, Air cells, and Hatch-a-long

    I recently bought 18 eggs from a Dutch bantam breeder. I have never hatched shipped eggs before. Some of the air cells are "saddled" and others are not attached. I have read that you have to put these eggs in egg cartons on day 18. But what about beforehand? Do they need a different humidity...

    Best material for drainage in the run?

    Husband and I are getting prepared to redo the run and extend our coop. Its really rainy and wet sometimes out here in WA. Sometimes the run gets so muddy and stinky, I really get concerned for the health risks it brings as well. So our goal is to also prep it for better drainage and to better...

    Purpose Of Comb/Wattles?

    This ive been wondering this for a while- So I know roosters have combs/wattles to show of to females. But there must be other reasons. Ive have kinda a guess that it helps realise heat during hot weather. But im not sure. What do you experts know?
