Ok...first of all let me just say that after MONTHS and MONTHS of thinking...I finally was able to get three little goslings today - YAY. I was wondering...since the goslings i got were "breeders choice"...the two possibilities were African or Toulouse. Is there any way to tell the difference...

Ok...so I have this duck...she's about a year old now...and WAS laying like clockwork. Well...she started setting...all the time! She gets all upset if you try and come near her 'nest'. She even has one of the young drakes sitting with her and keeping her company. Funny thing...she's not...

Does anyone know how to create a chicken feed that can withstand or prevent the curious nibblings of a goat or two? It seems the goats should NOT be 'sampling' the chicken feed! Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

HELP! I've had my ducklings for about a week now....I went and watered adn fed them less than an hour ago and they were fine. I heard one of them chirping and went to investigate....found one dead. In the next 15 minutes two more died...they were panting and just basically went to sleep. I...

Ok...So here's my question - do/can/will ducks lay in a specific nest box? One of my ducks lays in the same spot everyday (after going through 3 other 'nest sites'...however my other girls are laying out in the open. They know how to 'go to bed'...but I'm wondering...do they use nest boxes...

Ok...so I have a young pair of turkeys. The tom (Borris) likes to 'strut' for us...and his girlfriend (Natasha) LOVES out attention. Lately, when I go into the run to give them their daily treats...Natasha will get in front for her attention...then will just sit at my feet! Normally, once...

I need to find a new home or new homes for my mixed flock. (Emergency situation.) We have 3 silkies (great, proven broodies!), a couple showgirls, bantam polish, a couple cochins, 3 OEGBs, and a couple of laying hens. (They've all been hand-raised and are pretty tame...) Most are currently...

Ok...so I've had ONE successful hatch with a broody and the chicks are still in with her. I was wondering...at what point is it ok to separate them? They still snuggle under her at night and for naps. They're almost FULLY feathered now too! They will come right up to the front of their...

Ok...possibly 'dumb' question: do ONLY the roos have blue earlobes in silkies? Or can pullets have blue earlobes as well? Just looking for any other possible way to tell gender while they get bigger and bigger on me! Thanks!

Hello all...I've now got 4 month old silkies...and although I know it's still TOO EARLY to be positive (100%), I would like to see if anyone can tell me if these guys are cockerels or pullets! Muffin: partridge I'm thinking these are 'streamers' but I COULD be wrong. What do you all think...
