I have 2 male pilgrim geese (Dandelion and Clover) and 2 female pilgrim geese (Daisy and Violet) who are just under a year old. They are starting to act like they are entering their first breeding season and I have actually witnessed Daisy and one of the males mating. The problem is that both...

Please help me identify my Marans rooster color and type. He was bought from a breeder who sold him as a blue copper Marans. His color is wrong for that, but I am wondering if he is another type altogether. When I got him, I also bought 4 blue copper Marans hens for breeding purposes. They look...

Can anyone tell me if this rooster has the correct coloration and confirmation for a Welsummer? He is about 15 weeks. Thanks.

Can anyone tell me if this rooster has the correct coloration and confirmation for a Blue Copper Marans? He is about 15 weeks and has feathered legs. Thanks.

Can anyone tell me if this rooster has the correct coloration and confirmation for a BCM? He is about 15 weeks and has feathered legs. Thanks.

For those who raise BCM: what do you think of this rooster's coloring and confirmation? I am not that familiar with how much coppering a roo should have at his age. He is about 15 weeks old. He has feathered legs. Thanks for looking.

For those who raise blue copper Marans: is this rooster's color appropriate for a blue copper Marans? His head and neck are not exactly copper. He has coppering on his wings but I would call his secondary color more of a wheat color. Is there enough color variation in the breed to make him...

I bought this chicken as a chick in April 2013 from someone who said it was a black copper Marans. Well its no black copper Marans... I think it is a black standard size cochin but not 100% sure about that. It is about 14-15 weeks old. I was thinking it was a hen but now I am not sure at all. I...

We have 2 free bantam roosters that need a home. Both are about 14 weeks old and gorgeous. One is a birchen cochin bantam and the other is a partridge cochin bantam. Please private message me if you are interested. These guys really need to go as they are getting a bit frisky with my girls. We...

I really need to know when to expect the very last of this year's pilgrim goslings to be hatched. I realize there may be a few stragglers but is the typical laying season done and over with? Thank you for your help.

I bought some assorted bantams on April 12, 3013 and was wondering if anyone can tell me if they are male or female and what breed of bantams they are? I am going to have to find a new home for them if they are males and need to know how to advertise them (breed wise)? My best guess is that they...

For those who own pilgrims, I was wondering if they are still laying eggs this time of year or have they finished up? If they have finished, what month did yours stop laying? Thanks.

Can chickens eat layer pellets? Also what form of feed is best for them: crumbles, powder, or pellets? Thanks.

I have been feeding my new adult ducks all poultry layer crumbles by Dumor, but I have noticed that much of it turns to powder way before they are finished and that the male in particular seems to need to clear his throat a lot while eating. This leads me to question if there is something better...

I bought 4 keats in April or May and have no idea yet if they are male and female. One is definitely smaller than the other 3 and 2 are definitely the biggest leaving 1 right in the middle. (If that makes sense) Anyway, my question is, if I have 3 males and only one female, do I have to get rid...

My Question is: When do pilgrim geese stop laying eggs for the year? I know it depends a lot on the weather. I live in southern Ohio and have been in contact with a lady who was selling Sepbastopol goslings just north of here and she said her Sebies have already stopped laying for the year and...

I just had my first duck egg last weekend, and to my surprise it tasted very much like a chicken egg. So far my favorite is chicken eggs though I will soon have goose eggs and guinea eggs to compare with them as well.

I would like to hear from all those BYC folks out there with their thoughts and opinions about the different edible eggs as compared to chicken eggs. Most of us know what chicken eggs taste and look like, but fewer of us know much about duck, goose, turkey, quail, etc. Please compare as many...
