My first time with geese. They are the heavy show type, the male actual was champion heavy goose at the show this weekend out of 7. I've searched my yard many times but haven't seen eggs. She has laid in the past with previous owner. They have been breeding, male is protective of her, and her...
I've hatched two silver based chicks from this cross, a light brahma hen and speckled Sussex rooster, and sold the two silver promptly, but is this amount of white 'normal', I've only seen traditional crosses and they have very little white, this girl has some white on her back and wing, but is...
I'm wanting to add bedding in the runs of my coops. They are completely covered, after rain it is mostly dry in there. I have high quality polish so I want to keep them out of the dirt so their crests and bodies stay clean and don't get stained as much, and I think my ground is clay based so...
So at 12ish weeks old it hd what I thought was streamers, but was just new crest feather and they disappeared, it's now about 30 and it looks like streamers just came in possible, but it has no comb, no wattles, no eggs, and no crowing, I Can get better pictures when I get home but is this a...
I have 4 large fowl bearded white polish cockerels for sale. I bought 9 chicks and 5 were male, so I have too many. They were hatched in May and June, not sure on exact dates. I got my NPIP certification on the 2nd so I can ship, and they will have the paperwork with them. Shipping is $45 plus...
I bought some bantam white polish. About three weeks ago, and yesterday I noticed the rooster had swollen eyes and was foul smelling. Im suspecting coryza, so far no other symptoms but the foul smelling eyes, and a little discharge from the eyes. There is a high chance of coryza, but he also...
Two days ago I found my 11ish week old brahma stuck in the waterer. It was just a standard gallon waterer from the feed store. She was laying next to it, and I had to pry her neck out of the red rim. She was soaked but alive. Her neck was twisted all funny, and she barely had any control of it...
Any guesses? I know these guys are ridiculously hard to sex but guesses?
Really hoping its a pullet, otherwise I don't have anywhere for it. If its a pullet, I can at least squeeze it it with one of my breeding pens, cause the eggs will look different.

This little guy is 11-12 weeks old. Im thinking cockerel, but wanted a second opinion. It doesn't have much of a tail yet, and is just starting to get feathers on the back.
Im looking for roughly a dozen or so bantam white polish eggs, looking for eggs from show quality birds only. Frizzled or smooth is fine. I do not want eggs from hatchery stock.
So my hatch day was Fri, the 13th. One egg hatched thursday, one hatched friday, and one hatched Saturday. Nothing else. I had poke holes in the air cell of the eggs Saturday night, and no movement in them. But I left them in there, humidity was not up at this point. So now that its Tuesday I...
Im slightly confused on this color, I haven't been able to match it to any pictures that I've seen. And if you can tell from the coloring, is it male or female?
Its the one in the back.
And the ones on the end.
I know you cant tell on the silver and whites, but can you tell on the dark...
I am having to cull all my birds due to a respiratory disease and am looking to replace my stock. I am looking for brahma hatching eggs. I prefer project colors like silver laced, gold laced, blue laced red, and blue partridge.
I am also looking for buff brahma eggs, to start a speckled brahma...
Just wanted to verify before listing them for sale. I have two 4 week old lavenders orps, both are showing wattles already, I know its early but want them out of here if they are males, since I already have an adult pair, don't need more roosters for them, just pullets. They both have thick...
I went to move a trio of birds out by my other chickens, since they were big enough to withstand the cold, and I noticed my rooster was standing funny, not moving and with his head low. I shook the fence a couple of times and no reaction, and threw them a couple of handles of food to pick at...
I am looking for LF Polish hatching eggs. I am only looking for blue, black or splash eggs, to go with my blue pair. I prefer smooth feathered, but I would be ok with frizzled. Im looking for eggs from decent stock, so PM the price of your eggs, plus some pictures of your stock. I am looking for...
1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.) Salmon Faverolle Chick, couple hours old.
2) What is the behavior, exactly. It sits with its head pointing up at the sky, maybe even further back, and when it tries to walk it flips over...
I've done a few searches of the forum, but not quite finding some of the answers I am looking for.
I have button quails eggs in the incubator. It will be one week tomorrow. I was sent 18 in the mail, and 13 are developing, which is a decent percent of them. I've done plenty of hatches with...
