Luckily Noise isn't a problem here! With raising chickens, ducks, goats, sheep, and others, noise doesn't bother us or anyone in the neighborhood. I really like the look of that breed! Thanks for letting me know!

Hello there, thanks for reading. I've been a 4-H member for years, and have always shown every type of poultry except for geese. Considering I am starting my last three years of 4-H, I though hey let's give a fancy goose a shot. So, I was wondering what a good breed of goose would be for...

So, I have a question about how to get my turkeys to gain weight. I have been showing turkeys at the fair for two years, and this will be the third, and every year, as much as I feed my bird, it's never heavy enough, I have been feeding only meat-bird crumbles, but this year I have started...

So I have 4 Black Breasted Red Phoenix chicks. They will be 5 weeks old next Wednesday. I am really hoping for just one rooster out of this mix of 4, all 4 have the same feather pattern right now, but one of the chicks is about 3 times the size of the other 3. So my question is could this chick...

Thank you all for all of the information and help that everyone gave me. Today I will be setting two Buff Polish chickens and 7 Crele Old English Game Bird eggs. I'm really hoping that this turns out for me.Wish me luck!

In the next week I will be getting a HovaBator Incubator and will be trying to hatch out several Old English Game Bird and Polish Chicks before I have to get rid of my older birds. This will be my first time every trying to hatch chicks using an incubator, I've hatched out around 15 chicks using...

Well welcome to BYC! I'm wishing you luck with all of your chicken endeavors! I hope you are enjoying them!

No, none are Muscovies, all four of them are Fawn and White Runner Ducks. I tried to take pictures of them today, but they don't go anywhere without the other three and when I did get one separate he threw quite the fit and all of the pictures turned out blurry. I'm think their feathers might...

They will be a year old in about 3 weeks. The three of them most definitely have raspy whispery voices. The female is treated like a queen even by the drakes, she's a little too pampered to be honest. Thanks for all of the help!

So today I tried voice sexing with my ducks today. According to what I've heard I have 3 Drakes and 1 Duck. So, how reliable is voice sexing in your experience? I'm curious because my two that have no curly feathers on their tales sound exactly like my drake who defiantly has curled feathers...

Thanks for the suggestion, I had looked into this one before and I looked into it again, and this time I decided that I will be ordering it. I'm really excited for it to come, and hopefully I can get some chicks hatched. Thanks again!

I have nine Fawn and White Indian Runner Ducks. I've noticed my four are only noisy when they are excited or scared. Most of the time their only noisy when the dogs run past, or when their pool gets clean. The rest of the time mine are always relatively quiet compared to my chickens. I hope you...

I have a small flock of Old English Game Birds, that I just LOVE! Unfortunately I have to get rid of my rooster because he can be very mean and attacks me along with another rooster. I just love the breed and would love to have some chicks from them before he goes. My question is has anyone had...

My ducks have outgrown their beloved large swimming pool. We don't have very much space for a large pond and just redid their pen and made it much larger, meaning we could build them something more permanent. So my question is does anyone have any ideas for a pond that would not be too expensive...

Thanks for all the warm welcome! Alex, I got all of my chickens from Cackle Hatchery. I ended up getting all of my ducks from a local feed store. The Turkeys were given to me by a 4-H organization for me to show at the fair.
