I put a bunch of guinea egss in the bator about a month ago & not one was fertilized. Now I have a blue girl that is laying on a pile of eggs.... Does that mean they are fertile now? Do they know when their eggs are fertile? My pearl guineas are a year old now & the other colors will be a...

I have 3 Pekins & 3 Rouen females. They are terrified of me. What can I do to make them more comfortable around me. When I come to the pen they crowd in the back corner in a huge pile & they just shake. I feel so bad....I want them to like me. Should I be picking them up & carrying them...

I have some golden sebrights that I picked up at TSC a month or so back. I read in my book that they should have rose combs. Well one has the rose comb, but the majority of them have a regular single comb. Is this acceptable or not? Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have a very nice docile OEG bantam roo that is trying to kill an ISA brown hen. I put her in the barn away from all the others to heal & I just finally put her back outside today (after a couple of weeks) since she was all healed. He found her already & has pecked her eyes so bad she can't...

I am fascinated with the Khaki Campbells & of course think that the crests are so cute. I was reading in the Ideal Website about the breeding of the cresteds & this is what it said.... "Since there is a lethal gene involved in producing crested ducks, special mating considerations must be...

A very disappointing hatch as far as how many I got....14 eggs, I got only 2 to hatch....shipped eggs that were probably used as a football at the PO But I am very happy with the 2 I have! Take a look! Aren't they sweet?

I slipped her 4 pipped eggs last Saturday & she hatched them. Then about 3 days after the hatch I slipped her another chick & she accepted it. They are Silkie Cochins...aren't they cute!!

Poor thing is scooting around on it's rear & crying. I tried the splint thing & then it just falls on it's face. All the different ways of splinting just don't work! What elses can I try? I don't want to have to cull.....I only have 5 JG eggs, 3 yet to hatch (I hope & the other is fine)...

I thought she was deprived of food from the others in the brooder & picked on. But now that I have her inside & eating some scrambled egg & she is getting some strength back, she will be standing & all of a sudden she falls to the floor & starts flailing big time, her wings spread out as far as...

I have some eggs in the bator & 1 has a pip. I have a broody hen outside that is laying on one egg & I just moved her to a cage of her own. She has been broody for about 1 week now. Question....can I slip the pipped egg & maybe a couple more under her tonight to let them hatch under her...

I have 2 girls, they are 3 weeks old from Ideal. They are a buff rock & australorp. All of a sudden they just aren't right. They are weak, fluffed out, wobbly when they walk, sleeping a lot. I moved them inside with me under lights & the buff rock is eating a bit & she peeps & both are...

My 2 little ducklings don't get it.....I had a chick waterer in their brooder but now the little stinkers are growing & playing in the water more so I made the milk jug waterer & they just have no clue how to use it.....Any ideas?? Will they figure it out sooner or later?

I have 3 silkie/cochin girls that are broody & they are hogging up the laying boxes. When they come out to eat they hop back in but sometimes they don't take the same box. They will lay on an egg in the morning after one of the girls lays it but then by afternoon they are in another box & the...

I have 2 snowy mallards that are 1 week old. They are in a smallish rubbermaid tub by my office desk & I have placed newspaper on the bottom & then paper towel on the top for convenience of cleaning. Anyway, what I notice is that when they get the paper towel wet, they start trying to tear...
