Look at what hatched yesterday. I am living halfway across the world and left my white sebastopol trio in the hands of a couple that are absolutely spoiling them. They are tickled to death with these geese. I know the one on the right is a girl because of the gray so does the one of the left...

Hi, I have some really nice birds but have to reduce the size of my flock small enough so my parents can watch them while I'm overseas. Located in Jefferson county WV about 60 miles NW of Washington DC. Reliable people only. Ages are from 3 months to 20 months. These birds must be kept for...

I'm passingly familiar with the history and controversy of this breed in America as well as the lack of pure stock so I don't want to flame up on that. I'm wondering if I can ethically call my birds onagadori (append proto or american as the prefix if you choose) based on their physical...

Look who was born today! Momma even let me examine the little thing without complaint. Geese get such a bad rap, mine are the sweetest. I'm just expecting the one to hatch. I want to say it's a girl if I remember the childhood coloring of the parents correctly. I know the girls are grayer...

This is what my feed store stocks. It doesn't say food grade, it's intended for garden insect control. Will it be ok as long as it's not for pools? I really need to start a DE regimin, I'm constantly fighting cocci.

These are pet quality and so adorable. It's wet today so you can't see the full frizzle effect. Hatched in early February. Possible delivery to areas of Herndon, VA; Accokeek, MD or Greenbelt, MD

My chicks are two weeks old and are doing just fine except last night I noticed a bit of reddish brown diarrhea (not bloody colored). Tonight it seems like more of them have it but they're all acting fine. Should I give them sulmet now or wait until they appear sick? Thanks!

I have a 5 week old very shrimpy listless silkie. I would like to administer sulmet by syringe or dropper since she is not very interested in drinking otherwise. I can't find anything the the appropriate dose for a small individual. Can anyone help? She is more the size of a two week old.

I found her with feed bag string wrapped tight around her jaw and going down her throat. As soon as I cut it it went the rest of the way down. The vet said corn oil or laxitone. She is lethargic and sometimes shudders in pain. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

I can't find much dedicated to this industrious sexlink so I am starting the golden comet thread. For those that dont know they are a NH roo x white rock and they have been known to start laying at 15 weeks. The boys are white and the girls are ruddy almost like an over-pyle if that makes any...

Hi, I just bid on birchen modern game trios on eggbid and kinda won. The guy had 4 trios to sell and the winning bidder was supposed to be able to take as many trios of their pick of birds as they liked at that price and the the runner up would get their pick ect until the trios are gone...

I have two pairs of sebs which are a year old. My girls keep eating eggs before I can collect them. They eat my hen eggs too. They get a mix of flock finisher and layer. I even filled store bought eggs with plaster and they ate those halfway through. Then occasionally they'll "play house" and...

And would you use them in breeding (ie to splash)? I see many pics of blues and splash but nothing I'd call black even though in theory breeders should have as many blacks as splashes from blue x blue matings. Do they get culled? Thanks I'm just getting into the breed and want to find out as...

Hi folks! I have a forced air hovabator. I got 15 silkie eggs on the 6th that were shipped on the 3rd so they are probably 5 or 6 days old right now. I've got them in the turner in my basement at about 55 degrees. The challenge is that I ordered more eggs that have not arrived yet. Two...

Hello, I'm looking for eggs from productive layers that can that can take the cold. I'm also looking for breed with darker feathers or patterns for good predator camo. I want to start incubating a batch next weekend ideally you've got some eggs you can ship early this week. On my wishlist...

Hello, I posted this in emergencies but it looks like this section sees a lot more action so I'm trying to move it. If this is against forum rules please delete. Thank you so much! My pullet is definitely ailing from something and I am turning to you for advice. I went to feed my flock last...

Hello, My pullet is definitely ailing from something and I am turning to you for advice. I went to feed my flock last night and she just slept whilst the others ate. I couldn't get her interested. I picked her up to examine her and knew something was wrong because usually she's very...
