Hi all! I currently don’t have pigeons but I hope to in the future. I haven’t decided on a breed so I was hoping you could point me in the right direction! I would be mostly having them for pets and showing. I would like a breed that is tameable, friendly and hardy. Some breeds I really like are...

they have a large kiddy pool and we’ve tried changing their diet this year as we were told they may be too fat. We got two more fertile than we usually do (usually it’s 0) but both died just before they were supposed to hatch, obviously I’ll keep the three I have but I’d like to try a different...

I’ve has call ducks for the last 3 years, I really enjoy them and have great success showing them, but horrible success breeding them. I have collected all the eggs they’ve laid and set them all but have had 3 fertile in total and one hatch. I’m pretty discouraged so I’d like to try a new breed...

sadly no:( but i'm hoping to get some soon!! Welsh Harlequin?

whoops sorry i didn't see voting was closed Congratulations Fizzy!!

This morning I went to the incubator and my call duckling hatched! I've had a breeding pair of pastels for about a year and this was the only fertile egg we've gotten. Tomorrow we are picking up another duckling so it's not alone:) it is a mallard crossed with a khaki campbell. Does anyone know...

hi everyone! I have a pair of pastel call ducks and for this season I am sticking to pastels. They are show quality and I have done quite well at shows with them. My question is if I get other colors next season, say blue bibbed that were also show quality and I crossed the colors (just for a...

Wow! I had never heard of these but they are gorgeous chicks! Love the patterns. Congrats on your new additions!:)

oh they're adorable! Are they flightly?

hmm it's hard to tell with such a young chick but my guess would be an australorp but i can't be sure. Congrats on the new additions!

I've been thinking lately, are there chicken/duck breeds that are at risk of extinction/ need conservation? I'm sure there are but which need the most help? I'd love to import some of the Belgian breeds (barbu de watermael, barbu de grubbs etc.) but what are some other breeds that are at risk...

hi everyone! I have a pair of call ducks right now and I am planning on breeding them this spring. I would like to expand and get another breed. If you recommend a breed it'd be great if you could list some pros and cons:) some of the breeds I'm interested are Anconas, Magpies, Runners...
