I'll be doing a hatch-along with twelve eggs!
I might as well tell you guys about the eggs!
x3 Easter eggers with a grassy green colouration and a cyan hue.
x6 Silkie bantams. (Most likely white in colouration, as the mother was a white silkie.)
x3 unknown eggs, that are possibly...
Hello everyone!
I am getting 3 outdoor mini lops. They will all live together in a spacious hutch. I was wondering, do any of you bunny lovers have any tips for me?
Thanks all!
After the traumatic loss of my first duckling, I would like to ask for any tips, tricks, and other useful information when it comes to raising ducklings, so I do not repeat any mistakes others (and I) have made.
Here's my current plan and the knowledge I have:
I intend on getting 2 ducklings...
Hello, just looking of tips, & tricks on how to do this. Gonna be turning a greenhouse into a coop for my Sumatras.

Hello! I want to know how to make my approximately 7 week old chickens love to sit on my arm. Can anyone please tell me a quick and easy way to make them love to sit on my arm? Please also tell me if my chickens can be potty-trained, if I try. And while you are there, please tell me other tricks...
During quarantine I decided it would be nice to have a friend, so I have decided to incubate a duck egg and document my experience.
This is a new thing for me. I’ve never known a duck or really even seen one up close for that matter, but now I’ve got a white pekin and to be perfectly honest, I...
I'm in Eastern Arkansas, in the Delta; land of the mosquitoes. We're in the middle of yet another heat wave. How do y'all beat the heat? My teens are outside with a fan, have access to shade, one drinker has electrolytes, the other is just plain water, I continuously change the water and try to...
I am interested in the small, goofy, surprising, cost-saving, and ingenious things that people have done that helps them with chicken keeping. We can read about the 'best ways' to do things, but when it comes down to it, it's often the simple hacks that help out! What're yours?
My favorite is a...
Who here does a sport with their dogs? I've always wanted to do them but Gator's too old and sick now and slightly dog reactive. I might try to see if brother and FSIL would let me do one with Libby though or I'll just wait till my next dog, probably either a Golden or an Aussie.
Anyway...
Im training some silkies to help with a ministry for adults with special needs. It would be so cool if they could learn some tricks. Does anyone know where to order the chicken treat clicker? It's looks like a measuring cup that holds treats. You click it and hold it in front of the chicken...
School is in session for my 3 students. Meet Missy, Dasher and Donner.
Top to bottom respectively.
Missy is oldest but very submissive. Dasher is so fast she almost always gets Missy"s goodies, even from her mouth, before she can eat it. Donner is relatively slower and dumber than the...
Here in east coast Australia, we have been experiencing quite a heat wave. My days have been full of iced water and frozen grape duties and making sure of solid shade during the days. I got my two beautiful new hens ( 1 Lavender Orpington and 1 huge Gold Laced Wyandotte) on such a day and...
I have a young silkie who has come of age, he has started crowing... If you can call yelling "WOOOO!" crowing, and this morning he tried to mate with my foot... :lau
It was 8 am when he started "woo"ing and I was concerned about the neighbors even though it wasn't very loud, so I went out to...
Has anybody trained their chickens to do cool/interesting/fun things? If so, how did you accomplish it? What means/methods did you use? Tell us all about it! Share tutorial videos! AND, if you have pictures/videos of your chickens in action, don't hesitate to share!
hi guys, wondering if anyone has had any luck in training their ducks? I was given my ducks when they were (what I think) around 2 months old and I've only just built up enough trust for one of the two to eat out of my hand and make it easier for me to handle them. I can call them and they come...
I recently found out that you can buy diapers and jumping hurdles for chickens! I was wondering what other weird stuff I can waste my money on. And what kind of cool trick you can teach them!
