    Help! What breed and gender are these chickens?

    hello! we are new to raising chickens. We have had much trouble trying to get eggs because we are confusing the genders of our chickens; whether we bought them from non-truthful people or hatched them ourselves - still no luck. These two (black and black/white) we hatched ourselves, thought they...

    Maximum poultry on 1/4 acre?

    I might be able to expand to an extra 1/4 acre lot and I'm curious how many poultry I can fit without them becoming crowded and territorial. I kind of have an idea of what kinds of bird I want to have; chickens, muscovies, geese, possibly turkeys. I was thinking 8 pilgrim geese, 8 large breed...

    Hi everyone! I just received my 4 welsh harlequin ducklings yesterday from Metzer Farms...but to my surprise, they included a baby chick as well. 1) Can I keep the chick with the ducklings in the brooder? 2) I've read that I'm supposed to supplement the ducklings with niacin, will this hurt...

    Introducing new young chickens to current

    I have 2 chickens. They are almost three months old. I may get another chicken from the same family, same age. They have not seen each other for about 3 weeks. Will they remember each other or will the pecking/attacking, etc still happen? I think three is a nice size but should I ask for a pair...

    Won’t come out and in coop

    Need help! My chickens will not exit or go back in their coop on their own. Today instead of actually picking up the chickens and placing the chicks outside, we opened the door and kept checking on them to see if they would come out on their own. Around lunch time they still hadn’t come out so...

    Does anyone know the gender/breed of this chick?

    A guy brought three chickens, but one died and I’ll post about the other one later. But I’m unsure of its breed or gender, but I think it’s a hen.

    Is it possible to tell the difference between male and female chicks?

    We recently got 8 new chicks from coastal, and I got one the same breed as my beloved chicken, who has sadly died from a dog attack. I got three of that breed, and I want to name one after my hen, but I can’t tell the difference yet, so is there any way to tell the gender when chicks haven’t...

    Cheese sticks

    I've been feeding my hens cheese sticks broken up into little chunks... they go absolutely crazy over it. They all compete for the chunks... and if they see me come outside they run/fly to me as fast as they can just to see if I have any. I'm assuming they like the protein and calcium... just...
