Does anybody have experience with birds ending up knock kneed? We have 4 month old leige fighters. My kids brought them to the fair last week. The last day I noticed one of the splash pullets was standing funny. I thought maybe she was stiff from being in the exhibitor cage. Got her home and...
Thank you for your kind words! Unfortunately I ended up with zero cockerels this last breeding. I do plan on putting the parents back together again for more chicks.
The concern I have had with putting siblings together with silkie so close in their line is ending up with the silkie feathering...
Ok so I've been working on a small scale project for several generations and am stuck on the next step to take. I have a pullet that is perfect minus size and she has extra toes from adding silkie a couple of generations back. I'm hoping to work on both of these things this next generation...
Hi all! I want to see all of the beautiful brahmas in every color! We have light, dark, partridge, and blue partridge. What color should I add next year? I NEED a Brahma rainbow!
Here is my favorite blue partridge cockerel!
I picked up a few EE chicks from the local store hoping to add some blue to our eggs. I was wondering if anybody else had chicks this color and what they ended up looking like when they feathered in.
Hello all! We're getting beautiful grey eggs from a couple of our girls. I'm wondering if it's a hereditary trait and if hatching out those grey eggs may give us more grey layers? I cant find anything in relation to this in my searches. I know the basic egg color Gene's but this one has me stumped.
Yes, I've seen the wooden coop designs and may still put one together. However the aviary we currently have is predator proof with hardware cloth on all sides (including bottom) and I've run electric around the outside of it and all of my other pens. So was thinking of just adding perches and...
We're picking up some homers next month and am in the process of figuring out how I want to set them up. I plan on making an aviary for them to share with our coturnix quail. This seems all fine and dandy for spring through fall. I take a few of the youngest quail in late fall and put them up in...
Meet our weird little Heidi. We grabbed her with several other bantams for a penny last year out of the mixed bantam bin. We thought she was an OEGB when she was little as that's what most of them were. But then she kept getting longer and taller. She"s now in between bantam size and small large...
Omg yes! You know what...I think you solved my mystery. We had 2 WTG and 2 Golden Comet chicks last year. 2 died and I swore they were the WTG. I completely forgot we even had them as babies. Thank you! Well now Comet's name isnt vey fitting is it? 😂
Wow I feel dumb
