    Ducks Afraid of Sound of Rain on Coop Roof

    Hi all, I have 5 Rouen ducks, 7 weeks old. I moved them outside to their coop on Friday and they are doing great. Today it’s raining for the first time and I noticed they aren’t going inside to stay dry or warm. I went into the coop (it’s a fully enclosed room at the back of our barn) and...

    So I have two young New Hampshire Reds that I have raised since day-old. While in the brooder, I picked them up and handled them with all of the love any person on this site would do. They are now about 19-20 weeks old and when I go into the run/coop area, they squat/lower themselves down as if...

    Lighting without electricity?

    I've seen a few posts on lighting but can't find the answer I'm seeking. I have 8 girls (7 weeks old) who I have noticed will only go into the coop at night (i.e. put themselves to bed) IF the small side windows on my coop are open to provide a tiny bit of light. If the coop is dark they will...
