    Paint?

    So I’ve had these chickens for a few years now. I’ve learned from my mistakes…like putting bands on them when they are babies so I can tell them apart down the road lol. I’ve had a chicken I’ve been trying to get back in with the rest of her flock who was molting then got bullied, long story...

    Housing breeding pairs?

    Say you have 5 roos & 9 hens. After they’re done with the breeding season (let out of their breeding pens), would you separate roos from hens or keep together? If you’d separate, does there need to be a wall to keep the roos from seeing the hens? I have a 40x20 outdoor space to work with...

    My duck wont be a duck!

    Okay, first let me give some much needed context. My duck March was a surprise after we had given away all of our drakes.

    Roosters

    Layer Feed- Do's And Don'ts?

    Hi... A few questions. My four ducks turned twenty weeks old today. I hear that they will be laying soon and that this is the right time to switch them over to layer feed. Is this true, or should I wait for them to start laying? Is it okay for my drake to eat layer feed or is the excess calcium...

    New babies

I have no idea what chickens do, what they are about, nor did i expect to ever own one. But someone thought it would be funny to leave them on my...
