A few month ago, I decided I wanted to get a couple of ducks. I decided to let my broody hen sit on 3 Call Duck eggs. All three hatched and the next day, rats broke into the shed and sadly stole all 3 from the mother. A month later, I had the rat problem under control, so I bought 6 more Call...

I have a broody chicken sitting on 3 Call Duck eggs. She's in a shed which is quite poorly ventilated and doesn't let light in, so today I thought I would be nice and shove a bit of wood side ways in the pop hole to hold it open but make it so none of the hens could get into disturb her. Well...
I took my dog on a walk a while ago and entered this woods and there was a cockerel right infront of me! I was a bit confused and then someone came up and said he's been here a while and they saw someone dump him. I went home and got a towel and some bread and went back and he was still there...
Thought I would share some pictures of my hens! I will post new pics pretty much everyday, but it wont be as many as I'm posting now!! Thanks for looking!
Hope you enjoyed them! More pics will be posted throughout the week! :)
Hi,
Some of you may remember my old thread about my aggressive cockerel Asparagus? (you can see here https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/786119/aggressive-cockerel) After reading it yous will see how stressful it all was for me. It was such a big decision to get a new boy, but I decided to get...
I'm doing an assignment and one is to compare two different methods of feeding. I was going to compare feeding layers and having grass fed ones. But the big question is, is there hens that are just fed on grass? because I really don't know. Or do they have to have feed supplemented?
I'm doing a write up on an assignment for college and I need to figure out how much it costs daily to feed the hamster I did my plan on. The college gets 20kg bags which cost £17.64 and the hamster is fed 10g daily. How much does it work out as a daily cost to feed it?
I have just went up now to put her spot on on because she had a heavy lice infestation. It was dark and windy so I decided to go get her out of the shed and take her to the food shed to put the stuff on. I left my phone standing up in the shed and I went to get Ginger. When I first opened the...
My hamster has sadly died. I'm really upset about it so I'm not sure if I will get another cage animal. I am thinking about getting some mice but it depends what I decide. So I just want to do a bit of research. So here is a few questions:
1.) Can they live in a Ferplast duna fun hamster cage...
Ok, so a couple of month ago, I got 2 male dwarf hamsters dumped on me (they couldn't find a home and I felt bad for them going backwards and forwards so I took them in). Everything was fine between them, they had the odd little scrap but it was very rare. But now, the pecking order has changed...
My Buff Orpingtons hatching eggs failed, so I bought her 2 day old chicks! :) If you have been looking at the pics properly then you will notice that the Buff Orpington changes as the chicks get bigger. The chicks sister (obviously not blood, but she was the same hens chick from last year) took...
Are they? I'm doing an assignment for college about a dogs sensory organs and so far I have wrote about the eyes and the ears. I am trying to find info about the tongue and the whiakas but I keep reading stuff saying they aren't sensory organs, but I think they are. I'm also struggling on...
I am devastated. I went up today to find that Babs has passed away. She has been ill for a couple of weeks and after higher protein food and some anti biotics she started to recover but quickly went back down hill over the past couple of days. She lived to a amazing age of 7 which is higher than...
