I've seen people taping dog ears for show or preference to be up or down. I've wanted to adopt a cat with Scottish fold ears but currently have a domestic short hair kitten so I was wondering if there was a way to tape cat ears like people do with dogs and if it was safe and effective? I have...

I am working on a breeding project and want to incorporate butterfly combs from Houdans into it. I've looked at a lot of places and found the US SOP of Houndans have a V-comb while other places' SOP explain Houdans have a butterfly comb. Where can I find someone selling any eggs or chicks from...

Hi! I would like to buy eggs from chickens with unique eyes! I've seen some people on this site with beautiful chickens with light blue eyes with light brown, light blue eyes with orange, different color eyes, and marbled eyes. Please message me or reply in this thread if you have any fertile...

My 360 incubator isn't turning on, the plug works for my other 360 incubator so it's not the problem but the incubator itself. How do I go about fixing it and what will I need?

I have a carpet beetle problem that hasn't gone away with a bug bomb. One of the dogs I had in the passed loved playing with and eating cicadas and they are around the same size both being harmless to animals. So my question is, will a dog eat carpet beetles and is it ok to let them?

I woke up to all my chicks [except one week old chick who I found alive squished in a crevasse] dead in their outdoor elevated brooder a bin with it's lid tightly on which is solid plastic with 1/4" hardware cloth. Everything was in place and it doesn't look like anything was there or messed...

I have 5 - 10 week old egyptian fayoumis and brown leghorns chicks who free-range. I've heard these breeds are suppose to be great free-rangers but some have died without any sign of sickness, attack, or anything. I let them roam around when I'm outside but if I turn my back for a few minutes...

Hello! I am looking into getting a broody hen since they will be able to teach the chicks how to be chickens, forage, and how to evade predators. I've read silkies are the best broody hens but are also one of the least predator savvy breeds and they prefer to sleep on the bottom of the coop...

Recently I have a Isabella Brahma rooster and I'm try to get some Isabella Leghorns. Is it possible to make Isabella Leghorns by crossing my Isabella Brahma to my White Leghorn hens?

One of the eggs appears to have a line of "sweat" on it, not drops like it would typically be. A few chicks have hatched already but most are still in the shell. What should I do with this egg? Should I leave it in or take it out? If it has a chance of exploding how long would it take until it...

I candled some eggs from the same batch and the same flashlight, two bantam eggs were different colors inside. One was red and one was yellow inside when I candled them. They were refrigerated so they probably aren't very good for hatching but I'm curious why the two eggs are different colors...

Can a Jersey Giant hatch bantam eggs or will they crush them because the eggs are too small? If anyone has tried it before, how many bantam eggs do you think a Jersey Giant could hatch if possible at all?

Hello! I am looking to learn more about color leakage on chickens but there isn't very much information I can find. Does anyone know how color leakage came into existence and anything about this type of genetic?

I recently integrated my chicks with my flock and they have been doing well other than the fact I have some chicks just puffed up standing by themselves. I took them inside and some were fine and were eating and drink full of energy but there were a few who became very weak and plopped over. I...

3 of my chickens have gone missing one at a time so we assumed a fox took them because they never came back and we put white vinegar and pepper powder mix all around our property, have a constant flickering light around the coop, and radio playing while they are out, I was with them for a big...

I have a chicken (21 weeks old, still smaller than the rest of my flock) who went missing, she always stays close to her sister but one day she went missing her sister was still there but she was gone, no feathers or any sign that dogs next door got her (they got my older chickens before but...

Will crossing a big tuff Araucana with a really small tuff Araucana have a better hatch rate than a cross of two big tuff Araucana? Basically, if the parent Araucanas tufts are bigger will the tuff gene be more lethal?

The breed Araucana and Ameraucana get mixed up and confused often, and seem kind of similar to each other but have distinct difference. Do you think it is possible to breed a Ameraucana into a Araucana or vice versa?
