    Lonely chick with weak legs?

    I don’t have anything for a vitamin boost but I could find some. I’ve never needed it before but it may be time! I keep my chicks inside my house in a clear tote bin so I don’t use a heat lamp. I know everyone says they need one the first little while but in around 15 of having chicks, I’ve only...

    Lonely chick with weak legs?

    Hello, I got chicks yesterday, some from a fleet farm and some got brought home from I believe a runnings. There’s one chick in particular, an Appenzeller Spitzhauben pullet that is acting strange. She cheeps louder than the other 10 chicks combined and constantly, but she doesn’t usually go...

    Showing hens in 4H

    Hello, I’m wondering if anyone has a sort of guide for preparing and showing hens at a county 4H competition. For goats/sheep there are guides for how much to feed and how to care for their wool, etc. but I haven’t found anything like that for poultry. Any tips would be great, thanks!

    Birchen modern game bantams

    Hello, I have two questions. First, I found a pair of game bantams and was wondering if it is alright to keep a male and female together. I knkw generally you want a ratio of one male to a bunch of females depending on breed, but would it be okay to just have one and one? Also, is there...

    Duck Coops and Tips

    Yes, it can easily get below 0 degrees F so I’m kind of wondering if it would be best. I’ve seen where people will buy a big clear shower curtain and hang that on the sides of their fence. Would that work?

    Duck Coops and Tips

    Thanks!! Does the run need to have something over the top during winter? Or do I need to cover the sides during the winter? My plan was to just leave the wire fence that’s there just like I do with my chicken run.

    Easter Egger or Brahma

    That is not a Brahma hen. The colors are definitely of an Easter egger as a light Brahma hen would be simply black and white.

    Duck Coops and Tips

    Hello, I have recently been thinking about getting some ducks. My problem though is where and how do I house them? I do have a barn and I could turn a small space of that into a duck coop, but I’m not sure the specifics of the coop. Would it be a problem to have a wood floor? Or does anyone have...

    Hen or Rooster? Chick update

    Hello, I posted a thread maybe close to a month ago wondering if one of my new Olive Egger chicks was a male. I read about the males having a dog on their head, but I’m not sure the parents lineage so I was informed it cannot be determined if it’s accurate or not. Here are updated pics of my two...

    Using Herbs for Chickens?

    Hello, I was reading an article that was an interview of Lisa Steele I believe. She was talking about using herbs for her chickens, which I’ve been wanting to try. I ended up buying French Lavender, lemon grass, oregano, parsley and mint. Does anyone have experience with these? How do I...

    Dog Rolling in chicken Poop

    My lab/golden mix used to eat it all the time. I’m not sure if he quit because it got boring or if he actually listened from getting in trouble a lot 😂 but he has been broken of that bad habit. Anything is possible!

    Can these chicks be sexed yet??

    I read a bunch of other threads before posting this and most said you can’t tell sex until they’re a few weeks older but I thought maybe it was worth a shot. I have no idea what the parents are of the Olive Eggers because they came from a farm store. 🤷‍♀️
