I have had 3 ducks disappear without a trace. They free range during the day with our chickens and we put them away right before dark. The disappearances have happened randomly every couple of days. No chickens are missing or injured. Just ducks. Any guesses on what it is getting them? Or are...

I know the pics aren’t great but does anyone know what these are? They are out in the day just crawling around. The chickens seem healthy and no sign of mites but I’m not sure what they are.

Idk what has happened. I went to check on my chickens this morning like every morning and I picked up one of my hens and her toe is MISSING! It’s had to have been gone for a while now cause it’s “healed up”. But I’m afraid that looks like bumble foot on her “toe” now. What should I do to help...

Well I can already see to many cockerels but might as well let y’all tell me how many you think I have. Thanks

I am leaning towards cockeral based off his little feathers but I’m sure if it’s to early to tell. Y’all help me out. Thanks!

I know 2 of them are frizzles, 3 are Easter Eggers, 2 polish but what else can y’all see? They are all bantams except the 3 EE’s.

Baby chick is shaking rocking back and forth with labored breathing. I’m not sure what’s wrong with it. All the other sare fine. He’s a bantam chick I’ve had for about 3 weeks I believe. I’m not even home to take care of him but my little sister is trying to look after him. He won’t eat or drink...

So today I was out working in the yard and a lady stopped in my driveway, rolled down her window and said you have chickens right!? I said yes maam. (Thinking oh no! Not a complaint) However the woman said great! I have four chickens that need a place to go can you take them? She started out...

Can someone give me some guesses on banty breeds these guys are. The three in the pic though are standard size Americana chicks. All the chicks here came from Rural King. I know this is the second time I’ve posted but I didn’t get many responses on the other so I figured try again. Thanks

Got them from rural king. They were ok just in a big bin together except the Americana chicks. Which there are three of those I do believe but I’m unsure on the rest! Any ideas? I think a few are bantams.

Little chick from Rural King. Brought him home he was covered in poop. I cleaned him off best I could without making him to cold. He hasn’t really peeped a lot. His eyes have stayed closed mostly. I put a few drops of water on his beak and he drank. Do you think he will make it ?what should I...

I’m looking into starting another flock of just bantams. I already have a flock of 20 mostly heritage type chickens but want to do something different. I’m in need some DIY coop ideas! So feel free to upload pics, tell me about your bantams and how you do with your multiple flocks if you got...

I currently have 18 chickens. 2 roosters and 16 hens. I’m wondering about whether they feel cramped up or not at night. They are never locked up and are able to free range all day. They go in and out of the coop and run as they please and are trained to go up at night. My coop is 6X12 and my run...

So one of my hens laid a gigantic egg yesterday..... today I go out there is one even bigger!! Is this normal. They are wayyyyy bigger than my normal eggs. Is this good or bad? Does it really make a difference? I hope it doesn’t cause any issues!

I have two hens who look a wreck.... Ruby & Whitney have got some issues. The pics will explain. They are other wise healthy and happy but I think they are being over mated? What can I do to fix this? They are in a flock of about 20 other hens. I do have two roosters but the one is still a...

Alright y’all. I need some advice. There’s no right or wrong answer just looking to see what others would do! I’m getting married sometime in the next year and my fiancé has asked if I plan on keeping the chickens. I of course say yes! I can’t get rid of them. So he wants to know if I plan on...

Well cleaned out the mini coop I keep chicks in and found a nest of baby mice with their eyes still closed and barely any fur and their mom (alive). Momma mouse ran off and I moved the nest to a little container with a whole in and and set it aside to see if momma mouse would come back. Sure...

Got eight new baby chicks from TSC. They are supposed to be Black Australorp, Seinna Star (whatever that is), Americauna (Easter Eggers), and Calico princess all pullets. Y’all let me know what you think please!

Thinking about buying some more chicks but I’m not sure if I should or if I should wait till a hen goes broody. I’ll give you a little background on my flock. I currently have 18 chickens. 13 laying hens, 2 roosters, one cockerel, one pullet and one I’m not so sure about! I’d really like to...
