At the end of july I picked up two six week old whiting true blue pullets. For a month I housed the chicks in a 5x5 run right next to the larger run...

    Duck Behaviour

    Hello, I apologize if this thread is in the wrong spot! My female mallard (Molly) is acting more aggressive towards the other ducks as the days go by. She would listen to one of the other ducks who stood up to her and never picked on her after the order was established (Marnie). She’d still...

    Night time attitude

    Hello - I have a 2 year old Royal Palm hen. I've had her since she hatched and she's a pet. Lately she has been getting attitude in the evening when it's time to lock up for the night. She acts a little bit aggressive, but I think it's more attitude than anything else. I certainly don't want...
