@Jayzandra they might be spangled hamburgs

One of the 11 I had to help out of their shells due to shrink wrapping. It's been very hot around here for the last week, and the momma didn't bath for at least a couple of days before the hatch. Has anyone else had this problem with a broody? Barred duckling. Yay my babies finally hatched...

Anyone in southern Utah raise crested cream legbars by chance?

Thank you for your help everyone! I started adding niacin to his water the other day and last night he started walking again! He has been keeping up with the other geese just fine today! He is an adult, I think he was just malnourished cause he has started putting on some weight too! Yay!

Thank you for the advice! I forgot to say I have been giving him supervised pool time, and no he doesn't act drunk...more weak than anything. And unfortunately the nearest vet is 60 miles away and I don't wanna stress him out anymore than I have to. He really tries to fight me when I have to...

Ok so I aquired a couple of geese about a week ago from someone who knew nothing about raising poultry. That being said they were all very underweight, the gander was the worst off of the group. About 3-4 days ago he started stumbling around and then quit walking altogether. I've gotten him semi...

Ok thank you bunnylady! I'm still new to rabbits so I don't know a lot about the different breeds.

Thank you for your help! Lol I had someone who knows a little more about rabbits come over and check it out, turns out the light gray one is the female...and is definitely pregnant lol. I'm pretty sure that they are at least Flemish crosses.... The steel colored male has to weigh at least 10...

I received these 2 rabbits yesterday and the lady I got them from didn't know what breed they were. They are very large so I was thinking they could be Flemish Giants. Supposedly the black one is female (and pregnant) and the silver one is male.....any thoughts?

They seem to be about the same as heat lamp brooded chicks, but maybe just a little less skittish. They are pretty active though. I got 4 more chicks that are the same age yesterday...only they have been heat lamp brooded until now, they are only slightly bigger than my original chicks but it's...

Hi Mini Meat! :) This experiment is still ongoing... The chicks are a little over 2 weeks old right now and still going strong. I had to try this as I live offgrid and don't have enough power to run a heat lamp all the time. But it has been working amazingly well for an experiment I didn't...

Welcome!!! :D

So far they seem to be feathering out faster than chicks I've brooded with heat lamps, they do look a bit smaller...but not much. Everything I've researched about it says they feather faster and grow slower, but that they will eventually catch up to the weight and size they are supposed to be...
