    Chicken doesn’t like me

    Hey BYC, I’ve got a couple questions. I just had to swap my cockerel out for a pullet. She’s being quarantined.

    Hey everyone! Our duckling is nearing the 15 week mark and for the past couple of days his behavior has changed. He’s been abnormally skittish when we take him out of his cage making it very difficult for us to put him back in when we’re done cleaning and letting him stretch. It seems to all be...

    My chickens ran away1

    I have 3 18 week old chickens. Something (predator) scared them in their coop night before. I think they got beaks caught in hardware cloth. All bloody and very subdued in morning. I let them out as usual. They come when called. I’m on 2 acres free range all day. They did not come in last night...
