Hello all, One of my little girls is having a problem. I noticed about a week ago that one of her wings was droopy. I thought she hurt it...I looked it all over and couldn't find a problem. She seemed fine for a few days occasionally the wing wood droop but often it would be fine. A couple...

I spent a lovely day Monday after the hurricane swept through...cleaning up all the "prep" and spending time with feathered kids and bunnies. I thought I'd share a few pics. Lady Rowena and Sir Ivanhoe...I swear that water was clean like 10 minutes before.... See...here's proof! With the...

Hello, I am located in Delaware (Delmarva Peninsula - so anyone near here would be great). I am looking for hatching eggs this next week to pick up or be shipped or to pick up chicks. Any of the orpingtons would be great (Buff, Lavender, etc) You can email me at [email protected]...

Am wondering what my best options are here. My hens (bunch of RIRs, one Astrolorp and one Buff Orpington) free range. They all lay in the open barn where they roost at night. Except that one RIR decided to lay in the shed and was broody. I didn't figure it out for a few days (so who knows how...

I bought 4 polish babies a month or so ago. One of them is a Polish/Sebring mix. I picked out 1 rooster and 3 hens, or so I thought. I got the one polish rooster and 2 of the polish are hens. Unfortunately, I liked the look of this Polish/Sebring and it turns out, he is a boy. I have 4 boys...

Hello, I have 4 month old Cayuga and Pekins - 2 of each. I have had them about a month (raised by someone else to that point). I read the stickie about sexing ducks. It said the Pekins are the same color so must use other methods to determine. And I didn't see anything about the Cayugas. I...

Can anyone tell me a way to figure out if an Emden is male or female? I would like to keep 3 out of my flock, 2 females and a male...kinda hard if you can't tell which is which though! Not a great pic, will try to get a better one. (and I know the back one is a duck! - I was trying to get pics...

Hello all, I am new to ducks. I inherited 6 ducks that were a few months old, born in April so 3 1/2 or 4 months old. I have a boy and girl Rouen, 2 Cayugas and 2 Pekins (haven't figured out sexes yet). They have a kiddie pool and they live with some geese. The geese and ducks pretty much...

I have no idea really how to upload images to the forum...I have tried figuring out. Anyway, hopefully this works. My friend found a bantam chicken on the side of the road and asked if I could make room for him. He is soooo tiny! I have never seen a full grown roo this tiny...my Polish...

Just wanted to share that I have 6 turkey babies runnin around the coop! They were hatched out by my Standard Bronze hen, Spring. I have never hatched babies so this is all new to me, I have ordered through the mail in the past. Since I am keeping them with their Mom it is a little...

Hello all, I have been on this site for awhile but haven't been reading or posting in a long time...way long time! I am trying to get back on board and use the resources that are out there to help, and maybe someday I can help someone else too! I have had hens for 3 or 4 years now. I started...

Anyone out there? Anyone on the Eastern Shore? I raise Polish (I want more!!!!), a variety of hens, turkeys, most recently ducks for the featherheads. I also raise Heritage Breed rabbits, Silver Fox and American Chinchilla. - Kitty

Hello, I have chickens and turkeys but I have never hatched any of my own chicks/poults. I had a Polish hen that gathered eggs and started setting them but nothing ever happened with them...after 5 or 6 weeks, I finally took them from her and disposed of the eggs. I bought some turkeys last...

Good morning, I have a polish hen sitting on eggs, she is with 2 other Polish hens and a rooster. I am pretty sure they are fertilized. The problem is that she has been faithfully sitting for like 4 or 5 weeks and nothing has hatched. I understand that it normally takes 3 weeks? Any ideas...
