I love my Ducks. They’re 11 weeks old. Each night has been a goat rodeo, getting them back in their house from the run. I don’t like picking them up, because I worry I will hurt their wings. I pick them up gently, covering their wings; but I can feel them trying to lift them…. Any suggestions to...

G Gotcha! Good idea!!!

My Ducks won’t enter the run with the kiddie pool in there. I’m not sure how to get them to the pool, if they won’t go in the run

I was thinking; but wasn’t sure.Thanks!

These are my Swedish Blues. The one with the full bib, I’m pretty sure is a hen. Especially by her quack. I’m not sure about the grey one. Doesn’t make a lot of sound at all. Thoughts??

Oh, that’s a good idea too

Gotcha! Thanks!! It’s been a couple days; just didn’t know if they were scared. A couple flew down and then immediately walked back up.

Thanks!!

Gotcha! Thanks!!

I am super new to raising chickens. But without a heat lamp, every thing I have read, says they should be fully feathered. They can’t regulate their body temp before then.

I have three Americana in my flock. They’re about 9/10 weeks old. I am not really seeing any sign that they’re growing a comb….? Is that normal??

Barry County here. Newbie Chicken Tender (pun intended)

I’m super new; and don’t know enough yet. But I have read that if they’re growing a comb early; there’s a good chance it’s a rooster.

I can’t seem to get my chickens to go down the ramp. They’re about 9 weeks old. Have been in a brooder and now the coop. They’re curious about the ramp. They peck at it; look at it, but won’t go down it. Any ideas??? Pic of ramp…

Gotcha! Good idea. And thanks!
