    Building a pond? Told I couldn't!

    Yeah, that makes sense. We don't have unlimited water available, we have to haul ours, and, I'd need to refill it by hand, so I can see how that would cause an issue. Pool it is then!

    Building a pond? Told I couldn't!

    So I have some ducks and I really wanted to build them an area where they can go swimming, like, actually swimming, not just a tiny plastic pool like they have now. However, I've been told that I can't do that, because the water will become toxic to my chickens after two days of the ducks being...

    Chicks have weird feather growth, concern over it being the start of Angel wing. Help?

    I am aware that they're just barely getting their feathers in, they're just about to turn two weeks old now, but, none of the chicks I've raised previously have had... this. I was wondering if this is normal, or, if it's not, how would I treat it? These are two chicks sired from my own flock...

    ISO: Lemon Cuckoo Orpington, fertilized eggs or chicks (AZ)

    I've been looking for these guys for a while now, and am hoping to find someone locally that I can purchase the eggs or chicks from. ^^ It's been hard trying to find these lil guys, the only person I did find that was selling them for a reasonable price never sent me any in my order, and is no...

    Looking into Spiral leg bands! Breed help for size context?

    I view them sorta like collars lol, everyone gets one, even if I can tell them apart. Kinda like a "We belong to someone" in case they ever get out, y'know? I'll do that though

    Opinion question about leg bands

    I recognize that this post is rather old, but, for future reference, I suggest using multi-purpose ties! Scissors and regular nail clippers are a no-no for removing them, but, you can buy a dog nail clipper and use that to cut off the extra length, and, the band itself when the chicks start to...

    Looking into Spiral leg bands! Breed help for size context?

    So I'm looking to buy some new, better legbands for my flock that won't be so bulky (I bought a bag of the large plastic ones that lock, they fall off easily and just don't seem comfortable) and I seen Spiral leg bands were a common recommendation! My problem is my chickens are all different...

    Wondering what breed of ducks I might have gotten?

    Yes, Kaguya is a dark Campbell! Her feathers are coming in now, hopefully the others will get theirs soon to

    Wondering what breed of ducks I might have gotten?

    No, unfortunately. Just one of the many tractor supply stores around the US, I don't know where they get anything from, really. They all stand and walk like normal ducks though, I don't know if runners do that or not

    Wondering what breed of ducks I might have gotten?

    So while I was at the store a few weeks ago, I seen they had some ducklings for sale, they had no breed specifications, and nobody knew anything about ducks there. I haven't raised ducks in a long while, so I was wondering what breeds they might be? They're about three weeks old at this point...

    [Deceased] Looking for possible breed or genetics

    Yeah, the rest were all very dark, from the beginning, he was nearly a whitish color as a young chick, and he never really darkened up much compared to the other chocolates

    [Deceased] Looking for possible breed or genetics

    He was, a very handsome man. That was not a good morning waking up and finding out it was him. That loss was pretty hard on both my mom and I, we both really loved that rooster Our husky is just too dang smart, he found a way to get into the chicken yard, he didn't mean to kill him, he just...

    [Deceased] Looking for possible breed or genetics

    So I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of what this fellow might have been? We bought five chicks off of a local breeder, all where supposed to be sexed Silver-laced chocolate orpingtons (they were not sexed lol), but one of them was this super light chick compared to the rest...

    Anything else I can do for her?

    She's an Aloha, they are a very beautiful breed! They're our attempt at recreating an American version of Swedish Flower hens, bred right here in Arizona ^^ I got my eggs off of someone who's part of their breeding project, I have five of them, hatched seven and sent two to a friend of mine...

    Anything else I can do for her?

    Just wanted to update, I got her four babies the evening of discussion, and she's been SO much happier, she tries to roll them under her like a mother to keep them warm, and she's been trilling and eating a lot more since giving them to her. She absolutely adores them, and I'm happy to see her...
