One of the male ducks we inherited with our new house disappeared yesterday afternoon. The two boys were inseparable and never were more than a few feet from shore. I found a few feathers today floating with some down. Other than that no clues. I hate they had no duck enclosure for themor...

Hi all! We just moved to a new house and inherited two ducks with our pond. I know my chicken breeds, but I’m not as good with the duck Breeds. The are not very tame, but are coming within four feet of me now for food. Any ideas? We plan on adding welsh harlequins at the end of February!!

My pullets are 28 weeks old now. One of my barred rocks has been staying in the nest box for a long time each day, around 3-5 hours for the last week. Today she went to lay Around 3 this afternoon and does not want to leave the nest box. She did lay her egg we believe. Currently she is in...

Hi, one of my barred rock pullets has lost her voice and almost sounds like she is whispering. She is 25 weeks today. She was probably our most vocal chicken so it is very noticeable that she is quiet. This happened 3 days ago. She is showing no other symptoms at all. No wheezing, no...

Hello all! I am trying to integrate my today 7 week old chicks (4 barred rocks) with my almost 14 week old chicks(7 of various breeds). I have had them separated by a fence in the run for two weeks now. We have been slowly trying to do it. Yesterday I let them mingle and everything went well...

Already figured out Easter egger is a cockerel. Now wondering about these two. Supposed to be sexed pullets 6 1/2 weeks old now. What do you all think? Buff bird in question on right in picture with the two buffs.

My chicks have been out in their coop for a week and a half. Today I looked out and a hawk was crashing at the windows trying to get the chicks inside the coop. Thankfully our Fort Knox held up. It did scare the chicks though. Crazy! I figured the Hawk would only try to attack from...

:barnie It seems the sex fairy arrived for my already sexed pullets at 6 weeks. I originally was going to order 10, but I chickened out. The coop wasn’t started yet and we are new to chickens. I reduced my order to 7. One girl, the Easter egger is most likely a cockerel, to many signs...

Need advice on where to place roost and design. We set one up in there and now I realize it is to high. Right now they are flying up and sleeping on the back wall. The framed area is where we plan on placing the nesting boxes. Maybe we should move the nesting boxes to the wall with the coop...

Hi all! This Is Easter my 8 year old daughters chick from our order of 7. Easter is 5 1/2 weeks old now. She was always the largest and used to be very friendly till she moved to the coop this week and now doesn’t really want much to do with us. She was very evenly colored till a week ago...

We are finally seeing the light of day on the coop! The chicks are 5 weeks old today. We still have trim to do, nest boxes to build, some more ventilation windows to add( might wait for spring for that), but I think they can start staying full time out there now! My husband had an oopsie on...

It’s finally in the 80s! Everyone enjoyed some outside time in the run, while I painted the inside of the coop. Some pictures, too cute not to share.

Hello! Our chicks are 2 weeks old today and we got a start with the coop and run yesterday. We are doing the Wichita style. My question is what type of windows should I use? Wondering about window options we could shut for heavy rain. We live in New Orleans Louisiana. Lots of rain and heat...

Hi all. I have 7, 7 day old chicks today. Unfortunately, we are going through a heat wave that doesn’t look to be letting up soon. They are in a brooder in the garage (metal livestock waterer). The garage is staying at a consistent 88 degrees so I turned off the heat the past day as they...
