Got my birds NPIP tested and got the results back. 15/15 samples Mycoplasma Gallisepticum positive and negative for the other four. I have 50+ chickens, most of laying age, 60+ ducks(34 of laying age, although only 19 have ever laid eggs) and 8 goslings... I WAS planning on breeding them but...

/width/200/height/400[/IMG] Ok, I've been sick since thurday so I hadn't been paying as much attention to my birds as usual... On Saturday morning I was well enough to go sell some ducklings at a local swap w/out me keeling over... When I got back I noticed my 4wk old gander's face was swelled...

Hi, for a while now I have had my chickens one by one start to sneeze. in the last few months they have ALL STARTED SNEEZING! OMG IT SERIOUSLY PISSES ME OFF! In May I bought 10 Pekin and 4 Muscovies. Now THEY and the rest of my ducks sneeze too! I was going to breed them... but it would be wrong...

I think my entire flock has worms... only 2 or 3 had pale brown chicken lice, and I dusted with Sevin Dust yesterday evening. I have nearly 40 hens of laying age, and I'm lucky if I get 2 eggs a day. I have 13 ducks that are laying age, and I'm lucky if I get one iddy bitty egg every other...

Hey, I have 4 Muscovy Hens I bought in mid-march. They're gorgeous birds, but I believe one is beginning to sprout angel wing. The wings on her are a bit droopy and bow off to the side more than what's normal. Would plucking the heavy feathers help any? They'll grow back when the bird is larger...

How to Make an Awesome Incubator under 20 Bucks! Everyone has seen those iddy bitty cheap 2 dollar coolers at walmart and dollar general right? Well I bought 3 of them today as well as 2 porcelain lamp holders. I already had one extra from a previous "failure" so that makes 3 of each. My...

I haven't managed to find a nice thread on hatching duck eggs. When I say I'm new at it, I mean I've never seriously tried to hatch out more than one or two eggs before now. I'm running a staggered hatch of almost 50(so far) Pekin and Pekin cross eggs. I read a few times on how it's best to hand...

Hi, yesterday I ordered 20 ASSORTED domesticated ducks from Ideal Poultry Breeding Farms and the operator told me I had to have a permit for freakin' assorted ducks, like swedish, khaki campbell and such! It was absurd! And has had me at my wits' end all day. I have 4 NON-pekin ducks, that might...

Hi, my grandmother has a few(trio) of bob whites and wants to purchase some more. She asked me if I could look up if you can add another, unrelated male to the cage. I said I don't know and that i'd check. I think it's alright if they're raised together(like roosters) but with an unrelated...

I'm not sure if anyone's done a forum about building incubators or not, but I'm posting one anyways. :) I noticed on the Incubating and Hatching Eggs forum that several threads were about Homemade incubators and issues people were having. So here's what I thought of: why not start a forum on...

Hello! On Wednesday February the 8th I'm setting 12-18 eggs for a class project. We'll be monitoring the incubation by taking pictures and maybe even videos of the candling and hatchng process~! This forum would be great for beginners and experienced alike, I think. I've been planning this for...

Okz, i have a model 1613 or 1612 GQF incubator that needs a new wafer... it is fully square and has a metal turbofan in it. It's at least 8 years old, as it was pretty old in 2006 when I first saw it. The owner gave me it when I bought a bunch of his layer hens a few months back. Now that I've...

hello~ this is just a simple question I have about breeding my chickens. Most of my chickens were from hatcherys except for just a few. Mainly Ideal Poultry Breeding Farms. Yesterday I bought 13 heritage bred chickens, 8 RIRs and 4 delawares (all 13 are chicks) as well as an adult buff cochin...

In the beginning of December, late November I hatched abooout sixty-five button quail. About 45 were males and i'd like to get rid of 30 of them. At least... I'm keeping all my girls until I can hatch more. They're about all ready to lay so when they do I'll hatch out more and sell them as...

A while back my dad and I built a plywood incubator, and put styrafoam in it a insulation. A year late I decided that the temperature jumps more than a rabbit on carrot juice. My dad wired a water heater thermostat into it, and it turns off and all, it just either stays 7 degrees too cold(93*)...

I reeeeally wanna get some coachins of the standard variety to breed with my Americanas and other breeds. If anyone lives near Bunnell Florida, I would buy them. But so far I've heard from only one person. And they only have 3 mottled ones. I would prefer SL, GL, Buff, White, Barred, or red. No...

I'm going to breed my americauna chickens in a month or so. I'll trade some eggs for an equal ammount of standard coachin or feather legged breed eggs. Preferably pure bred, but I suppose mixed is ok. I live in central florida, so someone in the southern states is prefered. Cheaper postal delivery.
